Housed at the Bayview Hunter's Point Senior Center, this is the first ex-offender program in the U.S. to focus on seniors. The program reaches out to people 50 years and older who have been incarcerated or are about to be released from prison. Through counseling, referrals and social support, the program gives ex-offenders an opportunity for a new start.

Program has comprehensive wrap-around services for senior ex-offenders; counseling before and after release, transitional support groups for men, women groups, health care counseling, certified addiction specialist to help with recovery issues, mental health services, clothing and hygiene products.

The people served by this program have great needs in all areas, and their characteristics are different from those of seniors served through  the Senior Center and Adult Day Health Center. 

Many are much younger as the conditions of incarceration age people very quickly. Many are originally from the Bayview, but are homeless upon release. Drug addiction, alcoholism, AIDS, untreated diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, depression and unemployment are common. So is the desire to change their lives.

Senior Ex-Offender Program is committed to restoring self-respect through social modeling, providing care, guidance and services, and finding solutions to the challenges faced by ex-offenders.

Senior Ex-Offender Program provides case management to ensure that participants are receiving healthcare that will establish good physical and mental conditon.
