Since the inception of the Justice Organization in 1990, they have been serving and assisting those in the community and abroad. Over the years, they have provided people of diverse groups with social services-counseling-food-clothing-housing-substance abuse counseling-linkage to other agencies and more; using an holistic approach to the well-being of individuals, families and their multi-dimensional needs/problems. In effect, they not only provide temporary housing, but provide a host of services to strengthen, advocate for, and restore a sense of self and purpose in the lives of people. 

The work of the Center for Justice Innovation (formerly Center for Court Innovation) touches all stages of the justice system, from arrest through reintegration into the community. Their work goes further by seeking to reduce the need for justice system involvement in the first place. The primary long-term goal is to identify and resolve as early as possible the challenges that bring people into the criminal and civil legal systems. They do this in a number of ways, including investing resources in underserved communities, problem-solving side-by-side with populations affected by crime, and building programs that respond to offending and increase safety without imposing lasting harms on individuals or communities.
