HISTORY & BACKGROUND
The Tadini House, is a community of people that believe in beauty, blessings and human flourishing. It 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.
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, The Tadini House houses the Metro-Phoenix Participatory Defense hub 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..
