About the Company

  • The Fortune Society, Inc. (Fortune) has been working for over 57 years in service to our mission: to support successful reentry from incarceration and promote alternatives to incarceration, thus strengthening the fabric of our communities.
  • The organization has evolved into one of the nation’s preeminent reentry and justice-informed service organizations, providing formerly incarcerated people with the skills and wrap-around services needed to break the cycle of crime and incarceration and to build productive lives in their communities.
  • Fortune has grown steadily over the years to an agency with close to $90 million in annual budget with just under 600 staff.
  • We anticipate that we will keep growing, both in size and depth of service.
  • Fortune has a dual mission: both advocacy and service.
  • The advocacy portion of our mission focuses on building a more just criminal legal system and reducing the barriers to reentry into society.
  • The service side of Fortune has evolved to encompass a broad range of programs that started with employment and education and now includes a robust array of services, among them: alternatives to incarceration, supervised release, court advocacy, discharge planning within correctional facilities, licensed substance use and mental health treatment, a housing continuum ranging from emergency and transitional through permanent congregate and scattered site housing, assistance in obtaining benefits, a care management unit, HIV services, a food and nutrition program, and an arts program.
  • Each service we provide is informed by the needs of the population we serve.
  • Fortune currently serves approximately 14,000 people a year.
  • Our participant population mirrors the incarcerated population in being approximately 85% male and over 90% people of color.
  • Our program models are recognized, both nationally and internationally, for their quality and innovation.
  • We have locations in Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan and Queens.
