What is Clifton Place?
In 1971, Robbie Robinson founded 180 Degrees, Inc. and the Clifton Place Program. Robinson spent twenty years in and out of prison, and wanted to improve the odds for other ex-offenders. With the help of his parole officer and other "experts" like himself, Robinson mapped out a plan for a residential program providing services needed by clients just like him. 180 Degrees' first board of directors included Robinson and other ex-offenders. They opened Clifton Place in 1973 in a stately red-brick mansion, once home to the founders of General Mills. Today, nearly fifty years later, Clifton Place has assisted more than 9,000 men with their transition back to the community, their families and their new lives. Providing short-term affordable housing in a 37-bed residence, structured programming and case management, clients are supported to secure stable employment, maintain sobriety and establish new living arrangements. Services are free and designed to meet the unique needs of men who have completed their prison sentence and are returning to their communities. ServicesAdult Supportive Housing
