Guided by faith-inspired principles, The Francisco Homes encourages our community to acknowledge the worth and dignity in all people, opening the door of opportunity for conciliation and healing; building a society in which the re-entry process becomes restorative.
We serve men on parole from long-term incarceration, mostly life sentences. Without guaranteed housing, they would be forced to remain in prison. Since we do not place a maximum time for men to live in our community (the average stay is 14 months), our residents are not at risk for homelessness. Residents come from a wide range of backgrounds, ethnicities and religious affiliations. The average resident is 54 years old, but they range from early 30’s to late 80’s. The average time incarcerated is 28 years. Some of our residents have been in prison for over four decades.
