Tonie Willis is the founder of "Ardella's House" in Philadelphia, PA which opened in 2010. It is a home for women returning back to society after incarceration. The residence is named after Tonie's mother. She was just awarded a $150,000 grant from Google.
Each day, 200 women are released from prison across our country. They return to their home communities with little more than the clothes on their back. They often have no place to go. In Pennsylvania, over 64% of formerly incarcerated people return to prison within 3 years of release. Ardella's House is a safe and welcoming home which gives women a second, third or even fourth chance to stay out of prison for good.
