Alternatives to Incarceration
Our alternatives to incarceration (ATI) program, JusticeHome, advocates for women and gender-expansive individuals to remain at home rather than being separated from their loved ones and community by jail or prison.
Court Advocacy
We work to reduce incarceration at any point in someone’s criminal legal system involvement, prioritizing prevention over punishment. Through court letters and accompaniment, we advocate on behalf of our clients before judges and prosecutors, illustrating how our community-based services provide a stronger, more stable path forward.
Wraparound Case Management
Using a gender-responsive model of care, our team works collaboratively with every client to create individualized service plans, identifying their immediate needs and long-term goals. WPA staff connect clients to community-based programs and services that build the foundation for lasting stability and safety.
Program Eligibility
Women and gender-expansive individuals (18+) detained at Rikers Island or in their communities, pre- and post-mandate, facing active felony and/or misdemeanor charges in New York City.
