OUR MISSION


Justice Forward promotes recovery rather than incarceration by helping our neighbors in treatment courts achieve health and independence.

Justice Forward breaks the cycle of incarceration and funds essential programs for individuals in the Harris County Specialty Courts to help them become independent and productive members of our community.
