The organization’s direct intervention and education programming is funded through the US Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The OJJDP provides national leadership, coordination, and resources to prevent and respond to juvenile delinquency and victimization. OJJDP supports states and communities in their efforts to develop and implement effective and coordinated prevention and intervention programs and to improve the juvenile justice system so that it protects public safety, holds offenders accountable, and provides treatment and rehabilitative services tailored to the needs of juveniles and their families.

Through a contract with the State of Connecticut Judicial Branch, the Paul & Lisa Program is in our sixth year of administrating the Women’s Holistic Health Education Project at Hartford and Waterbury Community Courts. The project is an alternative sentencing program for commercially exploited women arrested on prostitution charges in Hartford and Waterbury Connecticut.
