Why is TLC a gender specific organization?
A. The Transitional Living Center found that the needs for women in the criminal justice system differed from that of the men. Most of the women coming out of the system will eventually be reuniting with their families and running a household. As a gender based organization we are able to better meet the needs of the residents. Here we teach the women the basic skills they will need in order to be successful. They have opportunities to develop better parenting skills and job skills.
