WHAT IS ATLAS....
Atlas, Is in direct response to New York city’s dramatic reevaluation of its criminal justice system aimed at fulfilling the need for supportive, Strength- based offerings to ensure that court-involved individuals are in a position to succeed. This will ultimately reduce crime by eliminating the dependence of incarceration and replacing it with personal empowerment and community support.
