WHO WE SERVE

MEETING PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE.

Jus Tus serves justice-impacted adults and transitional-age youth ages 16–24, with a focus on South Los Angeles and communities within SPA 6.

We help people navigating reentry, unemployment, housing instability, recovery, family challenges, and other barriers that can stand between coming home and moving forward.

THE JUS TUS APPROACH

HELP THE PERSON. NOT JUST THE PROBLEM.

Housing matters. Employment matters. Recovery matters.

But no single service defines a person—or determines their future.

Jus Tus works with the whole person, helping participants build practical skills, stability, confidence, and support they can carry into whatever comes next.

BUILT FROM LIVED EXPERIENCE

HE DIDN’T STUDY REENTRY FROM A DISTANCE.

Rabin Woods spent more than 15 years within the correctional system before rebuilding his own life through recovery, education, service, counseling, and entrepreneurship.

His experience on both sides of the system became the foundation for Jus Tus.

For Rabin, coming home should be more than a release date. It should be an opportunity to rebuild a life.

ROOTED IN SERVICE

BUILT TO CHANGE LIVES.

The roots of Jus Tus reach back to 2001, when an idea for helping people rebuild began taking shape through recovery, reentry, education, employment, mentorship, and community service.

Today, Jus Tus is building the next chapter of that work in South Los Angeles.
