we are for returning citizens & participatory defense

 The Tadini House, aspires to be a community of people that believe in beauty, blessings and human flourishing for all people but focus on returning citizens to heal the effects of injustice. The Tadini house is a nonprofit organization, that was founded in 2016 in Phoenix Arizona by a mother with sons that served prison time. 

Determined to make a difference for men like her sons, PJ began first by mentoring former prisoners from her home by offering guidance and developing opportunities for personal growth and development.  She also pointed her participants toward services and at the same time monitored their success in reaching their personal goals. Later, PJ began reaching out to other like-minded people to assist.  To work on healing justice Her dream is to build a beautiful spiritual living space  for a community of 33 men and 66 "exemplars." 

Her research led her to the Silicon Valley De Bug Albert Cobarrubias Justice Project and its model of participatory defense.  Now with the guidance of De Bug, and with the vision of building community, The Metro-Phoenix Participatory Defense hub is at The Tadini House and it is where families, like PJ's, encourage and guide Arizonan families, whose loved one is facing a criminal case, to navigate the criminal system and save time and thereby save lives, families and communities.
