Director’s Message

Dear Friends of OAR,

OAR provides assistance to individuals and

families involved in our criminal justice system.

Our goals are to rebuild lives, break the cycle of

crime, and make safer communities.

To achieve these goals, OAR staff and volunteers

must address numerous challenges from housing,

employment, and transportation, to community

needs and individual risk factors. For 45 years

OAR has successfully met this challenge. Ever evolving research-based

methodologies in the re-entry field energize OAR to make continuous service

improvements and we anticipate continued success for years to come.

Fiscal year 2016 was an important year for OAR from a financial stand point. In

FY14 and FY15 OAR needed financial reserves to cover operating expenses. In

FY16, OAR created a surplus budget by increasing our revenue by nearly

$100,000 and decreasing expenses by over $40,000. All of this was achieved

while absorbing a 15% cut in funding from our largest funding source.

We are grateful for the generous support we receive from the community and

value your trust in us to be diligent stewards of the funds we receive. We believe

in the inherent value of all people and believe people can change. These

fundamental beliefs drive our work and we invite you to join us and support

OAR’s essential programs and services. Thank you for taking the time to review

our annual report.

Reentry and Family Services

Risk assessments performed

of clients screened identified as medium or high risk

of reincarceration

Service plans created for reentry clients

Clients obtained employment

Clients received direct

assistance to avert a crisis

1,447 Families given information,

referrals, and support

The OAR Reentry

and Family

Services program

(RFS) assists family

members while

their loved one is

incarcerated and

assists community

members as they

transition from

incarceration to

the community.

RFS services are provided in Fairfax, Loudoun and

Prince William Counties. Assistance typically begins

while the individual is incarcerated. Assessments are

performed to determine each individual’s level of risk

and need. Lower risk individuals are provided with

transitional support and referred to traditional social

services for further assistance. High and medium risk

clients are offered intensive case management to

mitigate their risk factors and client service plans are

developed to keep each individual focused on the

specific tasks most relevant to their success.

“In a sample of 500 offenders from the Fairfax jail, we

found that those who made plans for where they will work

and live, and how they will financially support themselves,

functioned better in the community during the first year post

release. They were more likely to be legally employed, have

a stable residence, pursue education, pay child support, and

engage in a number of other prosocial behaviors.”

I successfully completed my community service and want

to thank my case manager. He made me feel no shame. I

performed my community service at a local church, that I

am now attending. Thank you for guiding me through

this embarrassing situation. I will not forget the good you

showed me!

- Community Service Client

OAR’s Alternative Sentencing program offers first-time,

nonviolent, misdemeanor offenders an alternative to

conviction and incarceration. OAR places eligible

offenders at community services sites, monitors

progress, and provides final reports to the court.

Clients with theft charges complete a Shoplifting

Prevention Program. Successful clients have their

cases dismissed. This reduces the burden on local

courts, saves taxpayer money, provides value to the

community, and holds offenders accountable.

The OAR Violence

Intervention Program

(VIP) is designed to aid

in the reduction and

elimination of domes-

tic violence and is a

fully certified Batterer

Intervention Program

in Virginia.

VIP provides opportu-

nities for individuals

charged, for the first

time, with domestic assault to understand the impact

of their actions, take accountability for their behavior,

and learn alternatives to violence and abuse.

The Virginia Serious and Violent Offender Re-entry

Program (VASAVOR) established in 2003, is designed for

inmates pending release to Fairfax from state prisons.

Individuals convicted of serious and violent offenses and

incarcerated for lengthy periods of time present unique

risks and challenges that the community must address.

VASAVOR enhances opportunities for a successful

transition into the community by providing for critical

needs with essential services and intensive supervision.

A transition team assists participants as they prepare for

release and offers continued support as individuals enter

the community. The team included: OAR, the Virginia

Dept. of Corrections, Office of Probation and Parole,

Center for Clinical and Forensic Services, SkillSource,

Fairfax Sheriff’s Office, and Living Free. This team

provided the support, structure and supervision necessary

to ensure opportunities for a successful community

reintegration after incarceration. The team’s effort also

increased community safety by addressing the specific

needs of this unique population.

OAR offers a mentoring program to assist with the

transition from incarceration. Inmates within three

months of release are matched with a volunteer. A

relationship is established during incarceration and is

maintained for up to 12 months after release.

Jail-based programming builds skills, changes crimino-

genic beliefs and cognitions, and prepares the incar-

cerated for a crime-free life at the time of release.

OAR offers jail based programming in the Fairfax and

Loudoun County Adult Detention Centers and Work

Release facilities. In FY16 discussions began with the

Sheriff’s Office in Prince William County and OAR is

planning to offer skills classes to individuals in a reentry

dorm in the Prince William Detention Center.

OAR offers the following programs to inmates:

OAR’s success can be directly attributed to the dedicated

efforts of volunteers who believe passionately in the OAR

mission. Volunteers extend the reach of the organization,

develop relationships with clients based on mutual respect,

and help OAR clients maintain a strong relationship with

the local communities.

2016 OAR Volunteer Appreciation Dinner

celebrated in the roll call room of the Fairfax jail

If you are interested in learning about volunteer

opportunities with OAR visit www.oarfairfax.org.

Volunteers facilitate 90% of OAR skills classes, represent

OAR in Court, engage in mentoring relationships, assist cli-

ents at the time of release, perform administrative func-

tions, and so much more. In FY16 OAR increased its total

number of volunteers and increased the total number of

volunteer hours by nearly 10%. The total number of volun-

teer hours gifted to OAR is equivalent to nearly 5 additional

full-time staff. We truly value the support we received

from dedicated members of our community.

OAR serves individuals and their families involved with

the criminal justice system in Fairfax, Prince William, or

Loudoun County. Individuals from outside these

jurisdictions are offered assistance while housed in our

local jails and at the time of release. Support at the

time of release enables the formerly incarcerated to

successfully return to their home community, minimizes

the potential for criminal behavior, and increases

community safety.
