In 2013, Homeboy Industries marked its 25th year. Our work is ongoing and not possible without your help.
In the late 1980s, poor families and communities across Los Angeles were being destroyed by escalating gang violence. It was brutal and senseless, and the only solutions offered were “get tough” and “wipe them out.”
Homeboy Industries took a different route. We sought alternatives to violence, gave second chances, provided jobs and education. And our community responded.
In 25 years Homeboy has become the largest and most comprehensive re-entry and gang rehabilitation program in the country. We are a therapeutic community, a place of healing and attachment repair, and a place to discover resilience.
Since moving to our current location in Downtown Los Angeles, we have grown exponentially. Now, more than 1,000 people walk through our doors each month. To ensure that all have the opportunity to transform their lives, we have formalized our service model, enacted a new strategic plan, and professionalized our executive management staff.
In the following pages you will see the progress we have made in our programs and social enterprise businesses. You will meet the dedicated professional staff and volunteers who will lead us through our next 25 years. And you will hear the stories of men and women whose struggles and successes are Homeboy.
When you choose to support Homeboy Industries, you provide job training for the hardest to employ, you educate those whom the schools have abandoned, and you counsel those who have suffered greatly. Most of all, you help these men and women discover their dignity, their gifts and their goodness.
Homeboy Industries is facing down the gangs of Los Angeles by offering what no gang ever could – compassion and kinship. This is what makes us unique: the compassion not to stand in judgment at what those on the margins have to bear and how they bear it, but to see ourselves in kinship with them.
We thank the many donors, volunteers, and supporters who have stood in kinship with us through the years. Together we are transforming individual lives, families and the city we call home.
Thomas Vozzo, Chief Executive Officer
Father Gregory Boyle, Founder & Executive Director
H omeboy Industries began when a concerned group of Angelenos, led by Father Gregory Boyle, asked a simple question: “Can we improve the health and safety of our community through jobs and education rather than through suppression and incarceration?” The
answer was yes.
In 1988, members of the Dolores Mission Church and Father Greg found a few caring business owners willing to hire former gang members and “Jobs For A Future” was created. Seeking a way out of gang life, 70 young people started work.
In 1992, Hollywood producer Ray Stark donated enough money to turn an abandoned warehouse into a bakery and the first social enterprise, Homeboy Bakery, was born. Two months later, Homeboy Tortilleria opened in Downtown Los Angeles. Hands that once pointed guns now pressed and shaped dough every morning.
But there were growing pains. In 1994, the ceiling leaked, the oven broke, and the bakery closed. Father Greg found new partners; a worker from the Southern California Gas Company repaired the oven free of charge, and USC Medical Center stepped up and said they would buy whatever the bakery could turn out. The business of job training and re-entry grew. Then total disaster struck in 1999 when the bakery burned down, but despite these obstacles, Homeboy continued to grow and expand. More businesses and new social programs were added, and by 2001, Homeboy Industries was an independent non-profit. In 2007, Homeboy moved into its current Los Angeles headquarters.
Today, Homeboy is internationally recognized as the most successful gang intervention and re-entry program of its kind. Homeboy Industries makes second chances a reality.
HISTORY
25ye a r s o fW I D E N I N G TH E C I R C LE O F C O M PAS S I O N
Homeboy Industries provides hope, training and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women, allowing them to redirect their lives and become contributing members of our community.
MISSION
“We envision a community that honors the good in everyone. Where there is kinship for those who have been pushed to the margins. A community where those who need a second chance can get one without resorting to crime or violence.” Father Greg Boyle
I n 2013, about 8,000 former gang members and an additional 4,000 gang-affiliated individuals, community, and family members came through our doors seeking services. Out of that group, 250-300 men and women work full-time in our comprehensive therapeutic and job training
programs that prepare for life and employment outside of prison and gangs.
Homeboy Industries provides proof that a real exit from gang life and the prison system is possible. It can also offer significant cost-savings to law enforcement and corrections agencies. Researchers from the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs are conducting a five-year evaluation of Homeboy clients. Initial results indicate 70% of trainees who complete the 18-month Homeboy program have stayed out of prison and have found gainful employment.1 In stark contrast, 70% of men and women who exit the California prison system return to incarceration. A one-year stay in prison costs $47,421 for an adult and more than $150,000 a year for a minor.2 Homeboy’s successful re-entry model breaks the cycle of crime and violence and costs only $30,000 to $34,000 a year for each trainee.

O rsy had remained a gang member until a near-death experience brought him knocking on Homeboy’s door. Father Greg asked, “What do you want?” Tired of chasing death, Orsy said, “A second chance in life.” As a trainee, Orsy worked hard to improve himself; and with
his case manager, learned how to set individual goals. When he graduated from Homeboy, Orsy got a job at Urban Radish, a new market in Downtown Los Angeles. “My family is thrilled and impressed with the changes I’ve made.”
Homeboy’s 18-month rehabilitation model serves full-time trainees in paid job-training positions with full access to support services. Trainees are assigned a case manager, a therapist, and an employment counselor to guide them through the program. Homeboy also provides free programs and services to walk-in community clients, who are not employed by Homeboy Industries. All participation is voluntary.

HOW HOMEBOY CHANGES LIVES
“Every individual who wants to leave a gang needs a role model, needs a mentor, needs someone to be there. We need the merging of former gang members, of prosecutors, of social workers, of public defenders. That kid needs a role model, job training and they need real jobs. Yes, I was heartened to hear, ‘Nothing stops a bullet like a job.’ And we need to provide them.” Jorja Leap, Adjunct Professor of Social Welfare at UCLA, addressing the Public Defenders’ Office, San Francisco, CA. (11 June 2012)
A Homegirl says, “I feel like I’ve been in the County all my life. First foster care, then the halls and camps, then County jail, then my kids got taken away by the County and they went into the child welfare thing. I thought it would never end. But when I got into the Homegirl training
program, I started to feel like things were gonna be different. Now maybe the County and I, we could finally break up.”
The Homegirl Café provides both structure and practical support to previously incarcerated women. Working at the Café is more than a job—it’s a place that heals. In a recent UCLA study of 50 Homegirl trainees, not one out of the 50 women interviewed was re-incarcerated once enrolled in the Homegirl training program. 3
Revenue from social enterprises supports Homeboy’s programs and in 2013, $215,000 were sent back to the City, County, and State governments in the form of paid sales taxes.

“A key part of Homeboy’s future will be to find new businesses so we can create more revenue and profit. And it’s not only for the revenue, it’s really about creating more jobs for our trainees to better prepare them for re-entry into the outside job world. This is critical. Homeboy’s social enterprises offer jobs which provide revenue which grows our organization so that we can serve more people in the community.” CEO Thomas Vozzo, Homeboy Industries

S ecure Base is Homeboy’s multi-disciplinary method of monitoring a trainee’s 18-month plan of action as they establish and attain personal, educational, and vocational goals. This approach allows the case manager and support teams to respond in a unified way to trainees’ issues and
ensure the best possible outcomes, often catching problems before they arise.
Maria Flores, Director of Case Management, describes the process: “Once a month a trainee sits with the team; case manager, business manager, peer navigator—someone who’s been through the program, and their therapist. They discuss the client’s service plan and what they’re doing. They want to hold them, know their stories, provide extra support, and keep them moving forward on goals, dreams, and plans.”
TRAINEE TIMELINE 0–3 MonthsWorking at maintenance jobs, trainees learn to become part of a team, build employment skills, and accept supervision from the staff. Each trainee works to set goals, define educational and vocational objectives, remove tattoos, build life skills, and participate in therapy.
4–9 Months Trainees work to improve their office and computer skills as they move to clerical and support positions at Homeboy headquarters. They participate in classes, attend therapy, build life skills, and remove tattoos.
10–18 Months Trainees are employed in one of Homeboy’s social enterprises or at an internship, broadening their skills base and work experience. Employment specialists work with them to become job ready. They attend classes, continue therapy, and finish tattoo removal. With pro bono legal aid, trainees get help regaining their driver’s licenses, working through family law issues, and clearing up debt.
CASE MANAGEMENT
“Los Angeles has had success in reducing gang-related crime because we work both on crime suppression and intervention. Homeboy’s ability to give gang-involved young people an exit strategy has been one of the things that led to this improvement. Their way of working—case-based intervention—not many do that, and it’s what makes them so successful.” LA Police Chief Charlie Beck
Laura was eleven years old when she joined a gang. Her family did everything together, including smoking, drinking, partying, and getting arrested. At the time, she thought they were good role models, but now she knows better and wants her children to stay out of gangs. As a
new trainee, Laura works in maintenance, attends parenting and anger management classes, and participates in a substance abuse recovery group. “Having someone push me was very important. You need someone to tell you—you can do it.”
Mary Nalick, Director of Mental Health Services, has a door that’s always open, “Most of our clients have an unbelievable trauma history. Some are in second or third generation gang families. Even children have suffered every kind of abuse. So our approach is individualized. Some trainees have long-term therapy and some have short-term therapy. We do whatever works. We even have volunteer physicians from USC join us every week for Baby and Me. It’s all on one campus and that makes it easier to do it all.”
> Trainees receive free mental health, substance abuse, and psychiatric counseling > Trainees and community members attend support groups > Volunteer clinicians provide free psychotherapy to trainees and senior staff members> One-on-one substance abuse counseling and random drug testing is conducted on-site> Baby & Me classes improve parents’ understanding of children’s needs> Domestic Violence Intervention for Men is a court-approved program for batterers

S hirley Torres, Director of Re-Entry Services, has been at Homeboy for ten years, “We’ve evolved from a grass-roots organization with Father Greg doing all the programs and the hiring. Back then the services didn’t necessarily have names: Father Greg just did it and
it worked. Now we have this wonderful formalized program and our staff is magnificent. They’re always ready to check the pulse and push to do a better job. The team is full of talent, including former gang members, all leading and teaching. We call it, ‘Hope in the flesh.’”

CURRICULUM AND EDUCATION
L e-Von was unhappy with the way his life was going, and knew he needed to change. The mother of his children was also desperate for him to be a responsible father, not a “baby daddy.” After his release from prison, a friend gave him Father Greg’s card, “One of the first
things Fr. Greg said to me was, ‘I’m glad you were born son.’--- No one in my life has ever said that to me, and that made me think about my own relationship with my children.” Today Levon is present and available to his own children and breaking the intergenerational cycle of violence.

“There are so many ways that giving a job to a Homeboy impacts your company. These kids have never had a paycheck, healthcare, or a feeling of belonging besides when they first joined a gang. Watching their transformation is one of the most rewarding work experiences that I’ve ever had. They want to make a deep change in their lives and their co-workers quickly recognize this desire and take the Homies under their wing. We’re making an incredibly deep impact on an individual’s life by offering them a way out and a place in our community and company.” Brad Fauvre, President, Velocity Vehicle Group
W hen Jose Osuna came out of prison and showed up at Father Boyle’s office, he asked for a job. He didn’t get a job, but was accepted into the training program for solar panel installation. Afterwards, Jose told Father Boyle, “I fell in love with solar panels!” He
asked for a job a second time, and with new skills and knowledge, he got it. In 2013, as a testament to his hard work and commitment to turning his life around, he was promoted to Director of Employment Services. Jose says, “The goal is to get people out into the real job world. We have no ‘keepers.’ In the end, they’re Homeboy’s best ambassadors.”
Employment and Job Training Services> Solar Panel: Each year, 80 participants receive the solar panel installation training at the
Los Angeles Unified School District’s Adult and Career Education Division. Homeboy pays all trainee educational expenses. All trainees and community clients can enroll in a free pre-exam tutoring program.

F rancisco was forced into gang life at 15. His parents are gang members and the rest of his family are addicts. He finally realized if he stayed in a gang he’d end up in prison or in a casket. “Father Greg is the first person who ever said that he was proud of me. My mentality
used to be that I belonged to nobody. I was going to die. I was really angry and I thought I’d never have a job. Father G saw something in me that no one ever saw.” Eighteen months after joining Homeboy, Francisco continues to remove his gang tattoos and work on his goals. “We are trying to change our lives—we’re tired of gang life and we do want to change.”
Often the first step in leaving gang life is to recognize that gang-related tattoos are unwelcome in the work place. At Homeboy, tattoo removal is a free service provided to trainees and walk-in community clients.

Homeboy Industries has been recognized internationally by gang prevention organizations and they travel from as far away as Shanghai, China to study this model of recovery. The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice, and Delinquency Prevention’s National Gang Center considers Homeboy to have an effective program. Researchers from the U.S. Center for Disease Control have stressed that Homeboy, by focusing on intervention, is instrumental in helping break the ongoing cycle of gang violence.
Father Gregory Boyle has been awarded the Civic Medal of Honor from the LA Chamber of Commerce, the James Irvine Foundation’s Leadership Award, the California Peace Prize from The California Wellness Foundation, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. He received the Humanitarian of the Year award from Bon Appétit Magazine and the Creative Non-Fiction award from PEN USA for his book Tattoos from the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. Father Boyle serves as a board member for the National Gang Center Advisory Board and Loyola Law School’s Center for Juvenile Law and Policy in Los Angeles, CA.
