Progress House Association (PHA) offers trauma-informed care and practical support to people who’ve been marginalized by the criminal-legal system, mental illness, substance use, and homelessness.
But for the hundreds of people in the Tacoma area who are transitioning from prison, homelessness, and substance use or mental health treatment, that’s the norm.
Left to navigate their new normal with no support, they too often return to what’s familiar. So it should come as no surprise that recidivism and relapse are rampant.
