Our Programs

Osborne Association serves individuals, families, and communities impacted by the criminal legal system — at court, in jails and prisons, at community sites, and through housing programs.


 

Our Advocacy

Our policy arm is dedicated to building a society and justice system that promotes healing, safety, accountability, and real opportunities to thrive.


 

Our Impact

Our annual results—along with reflections from our partners—demonstrate how Osborne makes a difference for people before, during, and after incarceration.

Celebrating the Impact of Our Programs and Partnerships

18,000+ people served. 86,000 prison visits supported. $227 million saved. Thanks to the support of our partners, Osborne’s programs are creating real change every day, from Buffalo to the Bronx—and beyond.

Osborne’s 2026 Policy Priorities

The legislative and policy priorities of the Osborne Center for Justice Across Generations advance restorative, healing-centered responses to law-breaking, strengthen communities, and promote opportunities for people to thrive.

“I’ve been home for two years and currently work as a residential aide. I learned about The Rise from my case manager. The community is full of people who are trying to get their feet on solid ground. There are lots of resources available here, and everyone should take advantage of them.”
