\nIn 1986, when Homeboy Industries\u2019 founder Father Gregory Boyle became pastor of Dolores Mission Church, it was the poorest Catholic parish in Los Angeles. The parish included Aliso Village and Pico Gardens, then the largest public housing projects west of the Mississippi, which also had the highest concentration of gang activity. At the time, law enforcement tactics of suppression and criminal justice policies of mass incarceration were the prevailing means to dealing with gang violence. But where others only saw criminals, Father Boyle saw people in need of help. Today, Homeboy Industries is the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world, welcoming thousands each year.<\/p>\nFor publicity and interview queries, please contact:<\/strong>
