Delancey Street Foundation runs residential educational centers that focus on rehabilitation, using a peer-led, self-help approach where residents teach and learn from one another while developing vocational, academic, personal development, and social entrepreneurship skills. Since 1971, the organization has worked with individuals such as substance abusers and former inmates who have hit low points, aiming to help them turn their lives around. It operates within the education administration and social rehabilitation sector, positioning itself as an alternative to traditional punitive outcomes by combining residence with structured learning and skill-building. Based in Los Angeles, California, the foundation is a mid-sized nonprofit; in 2020 it announced the launch of an Alternative to Prison program.
