Homeboy Industries is a California-based nonprofit that supports individuals affected by gang involvement or incarceration by providing training, services, and a pathway to becoming active members of the community. Based in downtown Los Angeles for decades, it operates a therapeutic community that couples on-the-job training with a broad range of free programs, including mental health therapy, tattoo removal, substance abuse counseling, parenting and financial literacy classes, GED tutoring, solar panel installation training, and legal services. In addition to direct services, it operates nearly a dozen social enterprises, including cafes, bakeries, catering, and recycling, plus brand licensing for broader distribution. The organization serves thousands of local community members with employment counseling and related services, including tattoo removal, at no charge. In February 2026 it announced the Home of the Angels campus, a 50-bed facility for substance use recovery.
