Portland House Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota
Description
Portland House is a community based organization that offers an alternative to incarceration for qualifying individuals. Currently, Portland House serves adult men and works to divert residents from entering the incarceration system. This Minneapolis residential community specializes in collaborating with individuals to assist them as they strive to develop positive relationships in the community. Portland House works toward this goal through self-reflection and group dynamics that promote responsible choices, positive direction and clear ambitions. These processes deliberately involve social learning theories to develop healthy partnerships and motivation. Portland House receives referrals from adult correctional departments, agencies or the judicial system, and is funded through the Minnesota Department of Corrections and the seven metropolitan counties. If you or someone you know may benefit from entering the Portland House community program, contact the organization directly using the information provided to you on this page in order to begin the intake and application process.
