Portland House Wish List

Portland House is a community-based service offering an alternative to incarceration and prison prevention for males, ages 18 and older.

This Minneapolis residential service specializes in working with individuals to help them establish positive relationships in the community. This is achieved through self-analysis and group dynamics that support responsible choices, clear direction and clear goals. These processes intentionally use social learning theories to build healthy connections and motivation.
