Investing in People, Not Prisons
In Washington alone, there are 18,000 people in state prisons, and an additional 22,000 on probation or parole–and communities of color are overrepresented. At Pioneer Human Services, we’re dedicated to giving these individuals places to live, access to behavioral health care, and stable employment, improving quality of life and breaking the cycle of mass incarceration.
