Annual Report 2023-2024: The Impact of Our Critical Work
WPA is excited to share our 2023-2024 Annual Report, highlighting the past year of meaningful opportunities and lasting change created for those impacted by incarceration.
As we embark on a new chapter at WPA, we are so grateful for the support we receive that leads to positive outcomes for women and gender-diverse individuals before, during, and after incarceration. In the past year, we have empowered our clients with innovative services and opportunities by:
Assisting 68 clients with housing services that secured safe and stable housing for themselves and their families.
Providing 103 clients with trauma-informed mental health support, giving them the resources and tools they need for personal growth.
Supporting 193 newly enrolled mothers with job readiness programming, youth services for their children, and safe housing.
Helping 495 clients stay at home and within their communities through JusticeHome, our alternatives to incarceration program.
These services and programs go beyond numbers: every day, we are making real, impactful change on an individual level. Our clients achieve their goals and gain valuable support, enhancing their stability and overall well-being.
