Zan Mason, CEO- is an Educator and Entrepreneur from Los Angeles, California. He is very interested in the well-being of homeless and disabled who are misplaced in institutions or that have become recidivist offenders caught in the web of mass incarceration and subsequent revolving homeless crisis epidemic. Zan’s passion for humanity has motivated his efforts to offer his humble services through Supportive Reentry Housing that provides resources and wraparound service referrals to social services available in our community. Thus, with every outcome delivered through our program a step towards “social stability” will be achieved by each individual actively engaged in the utilization of resources provided by 1st Home For U, Supportive Reentry Housing.
Social Stability is defined as a standard of life structure and reliable routine that does guard and prohibits the reoccurrence of old habits, people, places and things that bring threats of freedom, poor health practices, disregard and neglect for an individual’s own well-being and those around them. Social Stability will be learned by educating the individual through quality lifestyle training which includes maintaining a connection with those resources that will help to build the “best lives” for the individual and those in their community as well.
