Youth and Family Justice

ATLAS IS COMPRISED OF THREE PROGRAMS: ATLAS FUNCTIONAL FAMILY THERAPY, ATLAS INNOVATION FUND, AND ATLAS HOPE (HEALING, OPPORTUNITY, PROGRESS, EMPOWERMENT). ADDITIONALLY, UWNYC PROVIDES CAPACITY BUILDING SERVICES TO ALL PARTNERS. THE MISSION OF ATLAS IS TO ENHANCE PUBLIC SAFETY BY PROVIDING VOLUNTARY, NON-COURT MANDATED PROGRAMS THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS AND PLACE-BASED STRATEGIES IN NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BORNE THE BRUNT OF VIOLENCE AND OVER-ENFORCEMENT

THE ATLAS INNOVATION FUND (THE FUND) IS A BODY OF WORK ASSOCIATED WITH OUR LARGER MAYORS OFFICE OF NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY (ONS) PARTNERSHIP TO BOLSTER SAFE AND CONNECTED COMMUNITIES THROUGH SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENTS IN THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS. THE FUND IS DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT THE HEALING AND THERAPEUTIC SERVICES OFFERED TO INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES FACING INVOLVEMENT IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM ELSEWHERE IN THE LARGER ATLAS PORTFOLIO. THESE SERVICES ARE DELIVERED TO SERVE THE WELLNESS OF THE INDIVIDUALS RELEASED ON THEIR OWN RECOGNIZANCE OR IN PRE-TRAIL SITUATIONS.
