Homeboy Industries launches a $100 million fundraising campaign for developing the Fr. Gregory Boyle Center for Radical Kinship.
Homeboy Industries launched a $100 million fundraising campaign seeded and co-chaired by billionaire Frank McCourt of McCourt Partners for the development of the Fr. Gregory Boyle Center for Radical Kinship.
The new center, which will include 200 units of supportive and transitional housing and 35,000 square feet for health and career services, will serve as a key component of Hope Village – a largescale
urban campus designed to reshape the process of re-entry for formerly incarcerated individuals, McCourt and Homeboy Industries founder Father Gregory Boyle announced.
McCourt, who is also former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, pledged the first $10 million to launch the campaign.
“Hope Village and Homeboy embody the values of kinship, resilience and community,” said McCourt. “Now more than ever, we need to empower organizations that are investing in human potential, unlocking opportunities and providing hope, as well as the necessary support systems to those who need it most.”
