Ardella's House Inc.

Ardella’s House is a service and advocacy organization committed to helping women and girls with criminal justice histories realize new possibilities for themselves and their families. Our program services make it possible for women and girls to obtain work, housing, and health care; to rebuild their families; and to participate fully in civic life. Our mission is clear: to support women with criminal justice histories in their journey to become self-sufficient, contributing members of society. Through housing, workforce development, advocacy, and case management, we reduce recidivism, reunite families, and rebuild communities—one woman at a time.
