Houston Revision

Education: revision was embedded in three schools in hisd. In these three schools, we had dedicated space and at least one fte on site. The staff facilitated the mentor visits, met with the students and functioned as their caseworkers, and ran restorative justice circles. Revision staff also participated in meetings with faculty and administration on campus as needed. Snacks were provided in the room along with homework assistance as needed.

Soccer: revision football club gave our disconnected 25-30 high school and 20 middle school and 20 late elementary school young men the opportunity to play at a a very competitive level while building positive peer relationships and giving them extra motivation to do well academically.

Other programs - revsion had a housing program for unstably housed youths ages 18-24, funded mostly through a hud grant we received. We temporarily housed 47 youths, provided permanent housing for 45, and reconnected 27 youths with their families. We also connected these youths to jobs, education, and addressed other individualized needs through case management.
