Summary of Proposed Project: In a concise manner provide a summary paragraph of your project.

The Transition Center of St. Louis (TCSTL - formerly the Community Release Center) houses offenders that have tremendous difficulty securing the housing, employment and services necessary for successful reentry into the community. Historically, most of these offenders find themselves rearrested and reincarcerated in a Missouri Department of Corrections (MODOC) facility within the next three years. Due to the nature of their offense (violent and/or sexual) and lack of available resources (organizations, landlords and employers unwilling to work with them), these offenders residing in the TCSTL often face the greatest reentry challenges. Through Criminal Justice Ministry's (CJM) Reentry Collaborative Network in the TCSTL, this target population is receiving all the training and services necessary to become healthy, employed, productive members of our community, drastically cutting reincarceration costs for MODOC. The Reentry Collaborative Network officially began in May of2018 with five partnering organizations-CJM, Father Support Center, Employment Connections, Preferred Family Health and St. Louis University - to implement more effective programming within the TCSTL. The network partners offer dozens of services/classes to the TCSTL residents, focusing on employment readiness, clinical services/treatment (physical and behavioral) and any other programs to fit the offender's needs. During its first year, this network has positively impacted over 100 TCSTL offenders, drastically improving their ability to obtain employment, housing, treatment and all other items necessary to successfully reenter our community. In collaboration with MODOC/TCSTL staff and leadership, this application's $50,000 of funding will provide the necessary expansion of the Reentry Collaborative Network's workforce development and employment services to over 100 more offenders, decreasing their average stay at the TCSTL to less than 90 days. Along with the complementary project application - Transitioning to Reentry ( clinical) - this funding will strengthen the existing network, shortening transition times out of the TCSTL and increasing successful community reentry.

Application Narrative -Transition to Reentry (workforce)

1) Identify whether a new program, an existing program or service procedure is to be implemented, continued or

replicated.

Workforce development and employment is an essential component of successful reentry (reduced

recidivism) for Missouri Department of Corrections (MODOC) offenders, especially those with higher needs.

Many of these higher need offenders reside in the Transition Center of St. Louis (TCSTL. .. formerly the

Community Release Center) because they don't possess the skills or resources to find/secure housing or

employment. This application/project continues the successful expansion of the Reentry Collaborative

Network with increased workforce development and employment connection services and related funding.

The Reentry Collaborative Network officially began in May of 2018 with five partnering organizations -

Criminal Justice Ministry (CJM), Father Support Center, Employment Connections, Preferred Family Health

and St. Louis University - to implement more effective programming within the TCSTL. The Transition

Center houses many MODOC offenders who cannot establish a home plan. This population consists of

individuals without essential support systems and resources available to them in the community, especially

those poor and mentally ill offenders with violent/sex offenses. The network partners offer dozens of

services/classes to the TCSTL residents, such as employment readiness, clinical services/treatment (physical

and behavioral) and any other program to fit the offender needs. During its first year, this network has

positively impacted over 100 TCSTL offenders, drastically improving their ability to obtain employment,

housing, treatment and all other items necessary to successfully reenter our community. Through this funding,

the network will have the staffing ability to serve over 100 more offenders develop work skill and quickly

obtain employment as the Transition Center population increases.

This network has helped changed how services are provided to these offenders within the TCSTL by

creating an innovative, integrated collaborative reentry model to provide services. Using evidence-based

research and through a strong partnership with the TCSTL leadership, this project's network streamlines and

improves how reentry services are administered, meeting the needs of each participant still residing in a

• RF A SDA480-010

MODOC facility and, subsequently, improving employment, health and reentry outcomes. Utilizing

successful service integration models in other communities and best practices/research, this network has

allowed for improvements based on contextual feedback. Therefore, the network and its partner organizations

are committed, for the first time in MODOC history, to collaboratively provide services and share information

across a network and beyond. Since network service providers also offer programming/assistance for ex

offenders outside the TCSTL facility, the network drastically hastens the reentry process in terms of housing

and employment. As a result, this year, TCSTL has experienced a spike in the number of offenders

transitioning back into the community with sustainable employment and secure housing. At CJM, the Release

to Rent (R2R) reentry housing program is accepting a record number of sex offenders from the TCSTL and

producing a recidivism rate of only 22% over a 15-year period (indicated by an independent UMSL study by

Huebner).

CJM and other community services providers/funders have dedicated over $500,000 a year to create

and operate this network. This funding has allowed the establish operations and begin achieving some

tremendous results. However, this first year of operations/implementation has revealed several gaps/needs.

In terms of programming, the TCSTL staff have identified a tremendous need for clinical services. To achieve

full capacity, the TCSTL will have to intake 130 offenders in the next 90 days. This influx of offenders is over

a 50% increase in facility population and places a major strain on clinical/intake services. Currently, through

the Reentry Collaborative Network, the TCSTL has a 2-3-week delay in proper intake assessment services

from network staff/clinicians. To eliminate this intake delay and provide the necessary services for the

increasing population of offenders entering the TCSTL, this application/project will help fund the expansion

and sustainability of necessary workforce development and employment services. In conjunction with this

application, CJM is submitting a Transition to Reentry ( clinical) application to address the increasing

assessment and treatment needs (physical, mental health and substance abuse) of TCSTL residents, helping

them quickly transition out of the facility in a healthier, more sustainable/employable situation.

, RFA SDA480-010

Since most of this network's funding ($775,000) is provided by the Missouri Foundation for Health

(MFH) that diminishes over a four-year period, this application funding will help keep the network sustainable

while other funding is secured/extended. With a commitment of funding from MODOC, MFH and other

funders have expressed interest in expanding this network model to other facilities throughout Missouri.

Unfortunately, without this application/project funding from MODOC, the network will lack the necessary

resources to properly train TCSTL offenders with essential work skills and obtain employment in a timely

fashion, successfully transitioning them into the community.

2) Describe how the services will be provided, including screening, assessment or referral procedures.

The Reentry Collaborative Network addresses all the social determinants/factors that contribute to a

healthy individual reentering our community, focusing on developing the individual to obtain sustainable

housing and employment. As evidence and research indicates, the most successful and impactful reentry

programs focus on all aspects that contribute to improve health and reentry (workforce development,

behavioral health treatment, stable housing, etc.). This comprehensive integrated service approach produces

a larger, lasting effect on the TCSTL population that struggles in most areas of reentry, especially those with

violent and/or sex offenses. Furthermore, this project expands a comprehensive network model, based on

proven techniques, that is adaptable to MODOC facilities and communities throughout the state and nation.

In fact, the Missouri Foundation for Health and community services providers are committed to adopting a

successful network model throughout the state. This model and its progressive, systematic creation will be

documented, improved and openly shared to improve successful reentry and reduce recidivism.

Other communities across the country also have begun improving the health of its returning citizens

and communities through service integration strategies. The Michigan Prisoner Reentry Initiative (MPRI) has

mobilized a coordinated effort in responding to the challenges faced by many returning citizens. Since no

single agency, organization, or service provider can adequately address the multiple issues returning citizens,

the MPRI helps individuals find housing, obtain employment, reconnect with family, and deal with substance

RF A SDA480-010

abuse, mental and physical health problems. A collaborative network provides a comprehensive, integrated,

coordinated system of services/supports for returning citizens; reduces service fragmentation; minimizes

conflicting expectations; identifies service gaps/duplication; and leverages multiple funding streams. In

addition, access to a network of services, supports, and prosocial community connections has been shown to

significantly enhance health and successful reentry.

This project's services begin when an offender is accepted into the TCSTL. At the network's weekly

staff meetings, TCSTL staff inform the network of offenders coming to the TCSTL and their arrival date.

Upon arrival, the TCSTL staff and network clinicians (from CJM and Preferred Family Health) conduct an

initial assessment of the offender's risks, needs and responsivity (RNR tool). Based on these initial,

professional assessments, the network team of staff members (CJM FIRST Services Liaisons and other

essential staff), including the TCSTL staff, discuss the classes, training, services and treatment needed for that

individual/offender to successfully reenter the community. Focused on basic health treatment, employment

and housing, the network creates a reentry plan/schedule of classes and services to help transition each offender

into the community sustainably.

Throughout an offender's time in the TCSTL and as they transition into the community, all network

providers work with each participant based on individualized need. This application funding is focused on

providing the growing gaps in workforce development and employment services. With more staff ( time and

resources) committed to developing offender job skills and employment connection services (through CJM's

Transition Center team - Clinical Specialist, FIRST Services Liaisons, Outreach/Workforce Coordinator and

Reentry Coordinator), participants can quickly obtain the individualized training, treatment, employment and

housing services necessary to successfully reenter the community, saving MODOC hundreds of thousands of

dollars in offender services and housing at the TCSTL. Participant progress is tracked, monitored and

communicated at weekly staffing meetings and daily through an online, user-friendly, confidential Reentry

Software that all providers use and keep updated.

RFA SDA480-010 Page9

The network continues to stay flexible and able to course-correct based on lessons-learned and

feedback from participants and TCSTL staff/leadership. The network staff continue to work with TCSTL

residents to obtain employment, housing and other necessary services in the community. When the network

is working properly and fully staffed/funded, this transition occurs in less than 90 day, and often occurs in less

than 30 days when CJM or another community service provider accepts the offender into an outside reentry

program like Release to Rent (R2R). These outside reentry programs are essential for many TCSTL offenders,

especially those with sex offenses. Through this network, over 100 TCSTL residents will receive access to all

network services, improving their health and ability to successfully reenter the community. In addition to

providing services through a collaborative network, this project will focus on developing a model that is

transferrable to communities throughout Missouri.

3) Describe the amount ( e.g. hours, days) of contact that each offender will receive from each type of anticipated

service.

This program's services are most effective when they immediately address an offender's individual

needs and utilize interventional strategies as soon as possible. This prompt response is especially necessary

for the highest risk/need population of offenders reentering society (violent/sex offenders without

resources/support systems in the community). Reentry is difficult for any ex-offender, but it is especially

challenging for violent/sex offenders without resources or support in the community. The Reentry

Collaborative Network was specifically established to help this population of offenders residing in the

Transition Center of St. Louis (TCSTL) receive the necessary services to quickly and successfully reenter

society, focusing on employment/training, treatment and housing.

Network providers have decades of experience working with offenders and helping them successfully

reenter society. Since 1979, CJM has been working with individuals impacted by incarceration (both inside

and outside prisons/jails). CJM's diverse staff working on this project has extensive experience working with

this population and hold advanced degrees/expertise in criminal justice fields, social work, education and

RFA SDA480-010

leadership. CJM has become an expert in assessing and addressing the needs of individuals exiting prison and

collaborating with local agencies to provide needed programming (co-founding St. Louis Alliance for Reentry

- STAR). In fact, because of CJM's reputation and experience, the leadership at TCSTL felt comfortable

moving forward with this project, trusting CJM to successfully run the Reentry Collaborative Network.

This project's services begin when an offender is accepted into the TCSTL. At the network's weekly

staff meetings, TCSTL staff inform the network of offenders coming to the TCSTL and their arrival date.

Upon arrival, the TCSTL staff and network clinicians and staff (from CJM and Preferred Family Health)

conduct an initial assessment of the offender's risks, needs and responsivity (RNR tool). These initial

assessments usually last an hour and may require short 30-minute follow-up sessions with the clinician,

depending on the offender's behavioral health needs. Based on these initial, professional assessments, the

network team of staff members, including the TCSTL staff, discuss the classes, training, services and treatment

needed for that individual/offender to successfully reenter the community with adequate employment. Focused

on basic health treatment, employment and housing, the network creates a reentry plan/schedule of classes and

services to help transition each offender into the community sustainably.

Classes and services provided to each offender vary widely but focus on training/skill development and

employment connection services. Some employment classes and trainings meet five-days a week for eight

hours each day over a six-week period, while other treatment sessions meet only 1-2 times a week for only an

hour and end when the offender's needs are met. As more resources/funding have been secured by the network

(e.g. MFH funding and DMH grants), classes and services have expanded and increased in frequency and

variety to meet individual offender needs. While several job training and mental health classes/services exist

(averaging one month in length), CJM and the network providers plan to add more of these services and

increase contact with offenders through this funding and CJM's Workforce Coordinator. Network participants

average over 20 hours per week of contact time with treatment, employment and reentry services from a variety

of providers. In addition to these inside services, network providers are also helping these offenders as they

transition out of the TCSTL. This network has allowed providers to seamlessly and quickly transition these

RF A SDA480-010

offenders into secure housing, employment and treatment in the community, sometimes in less than 30 day.

While living in the community, service providers continue to offer services such as intensive case management

and all wrap-around services necessary for successful/sustainable reentry. Since finding/obtaining affordable,

sustainable housing and employment for violent and sex offenders is increasingly difficult, the network's quick

results and continuum of services for this population is a tremendous asset. Without this application funding,

the network will not be able to continue providing the necessary services to quickly and successfully

train/transition these offenders into the community with proper employment and housing.

4) Describe the target audience that will receive the services, how the target audience will be verified and identify

the process for referrals.

This application's services/funding focus on medium-to-high risk/need offenders eligible for parole

but lack a home plan. Due to the nature of their offense (violent/sex offense), history and other social

determinant factors, these individuals often lack a social support system and the employment skills/resources

necessary to successfully reenter our community. As a result, this target population experiences more difficulty

securing employment, obtaining affordable housing and finding service providers willing help them. Most

landlord will not rent to them, while others take advantage of their vulnerability ( often raising rent and refusing

to make repairs). According to the National Reentry Resource Center, this population is plagued by housing

insecurity and substance abuse. In fact, they are 11.3 times more likely than the general population to be

homeless and the majority who enter the TCSTL have a substance abuse history. Therefore, this population's

likelihood of successfully reentering society are low. According to the Missouri Sentencing Advisory

Commission's report published in 2016, 62% medium-to-high risk/need ex-offenders will become

reincarcerated back into a Missouri Department of Corrections (MODOC) facility within three years, and most

admissions each year are reincarcerations based on revocations.

RF A SDA480-010

In terms of physical health, the National Commission on Correctional Health Care reports that these

returning citizens tend to be sicker on average than the US population, with higher rates of tuberculosis,

hepatitis C and chronic diseases. Regarding mental health, the prevalence of schizophrenia and bipolar among

this population is 1-5 times greater than in the population. The 2008 "Road to Reintegration" report by

Goodwill Industries revealed that nearly all the people leaving prison have a physical health, mental health or

substance abuse problem and a significant number of them have more than one conditions. As a result,

returning citizens in the TCSTL have more difficulty overcoming the access barriers to health and successful

reentry. In addition to increased access to physical and behavioral healthcare, returning citizens need greater

access to social services. According to the "Healthy People 2020: Social Determinants of Health" report by

the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, our health is determined in part by access to social

and economic opportunities; the resources/supports available in homes, neighborhoods and communities; and

the nature of our interactions and relationships. Therefore, this project creates a collaborative network to

effectively and efficiently provide access to services necessary for improved health and successful reentry

(physical/behavioral health as well as other social determinants).

CJM and the Reentry Collaborative Network are embracing the risks and costs associated with

serving this target population in our state, focusing on helping violent/sex offenders successfully reenter. As

a result, the number of violent/sex offenders served through this network is already approaching 100 and will

more than double next year. Through this network, CJM works directly with MODOC - TCSTL staff and

parole officers to identify barriers to self-sufficiency with each offender and specifically address every need.

In addition to services offered inside the TCSTL, outside continued services are provided by CJM and

others, such as essential housing assistance and comprehensive case management services that include

reinstatement or application of state and/or federal benefits, social skill development, referrals for

employment activities, assistance towards employment retention, substance abuse and/or mental health

treatment, and any other wrap around services needed. Without access to adequate services/resources,

employment and affordable housing, this population is more likelihood to remain economically poor,

l

RF A SDA480-010

experience negative health outcomes, become homeless and reoffend/engage in criminal activity compared

to other low-income individuals, creating a vicious cycle of poverty and community instability. With this

application funding, CJM and the network can continue helping this target population move out of the

TCSTL through treatment, housing, employment and all other services necessary for successful reentry,

saving MODOC hundreds of thousands of dollars in housing and service costs.

BUDGET NARRATIVE

Applicant must provide justification and detailed description of all budget items listed in Exhibit E. NOTE: All expenses must be reasonable and necessary.

A. Personnel

Since this project provides comprehensive services for medium-to-high risk offenders reentering society from the TCSTL, many staff/personnel are required and involved in its implementation. Since employment and housing for these violent and sex offenders is so difficult to find/secure, the Outreach and Workforce Coordinator (100% of $38,000 I year = $38,000) will work with employers and coordinate workforce development trainings to help prepare offenders for employment, secure jobs and transition offenders to affordable housing. Other essential personnel include the Reentry Services Coordinator (50% of $38,000 I year= $19,000) who works with the Department of Corrections staff (Probation and Parole and staff inside facilities, including the Transition Center) to oversee the network and all services related to program intake, assessments and services. The FIRST Services Liaisons (50% of $15,000 / year (x.2) = $15,000) work directly with each offender to help with logistics, scheduling, intake and facilitation of all necessary services. The Clinical Support Specialist ( 100% of $50,000 /year= $50,000) leads the clinical aspects of the intake process and network. The Director of Operations ( 10% of $46,000 / year = $4,600) coordinates with all program staff to ensure all necessary reporting and paperwork associated with the program are complete. Finally, the Executive Director (10% of $90,000 /year= $9,000) supervises the program staff, providing feedback and oversight in terms of performance toward all program goals and objectives. Per the budget, part of the direct program personnel costs is funded through this application (Clinical Support Specialist, Reentry Services Coordinator and FIRST Services Liaisons). All other personnel are funded through other sources.

B. Fringe Benefits All staff members are paid through Payroll 1 procedures-with taxes paid as required. They all receive benefits that equal at least 10% of his/her salary-health care insurance, paid time off, IRA contributions at 2%, short and long-term disability, life insurance, workers' comp, and unemployment insurance. All program personnel benefits are funded through other sources.

C. Staff Travel All program/network staff must travel to meetings at the TCSTL and with employers/service providers throughout the community to help offenders successfully reenter. An estimate of 20 miles per offender is based on actual mileage reported by network staff. All program staff travel is funded through other sources.

D. Direct Services to the Offenders · The actual number and type of program services will depend upon the needs of the offenders and referrals by

MODOC staff inside state facilities and parole officers. CJM staff will work with parole officers to provide all necessary assistance and start-up items. With five network partners, the services provided directly to offenders ( classes, trainings, treatment, etc.) total over $100,000 per provider. These services require hundreds of hours of staff time and direct program costs for offenders (such as tangible start-up items and assistance). A companion application is being submitted for other offender needs and assistance related to workforce development and employment connections in the community. Additional offenders will be served through other funders.

• Rent While rental payments are not funded through this application, CJM will help TCSTL offenders' transition into rental units and help with rent assistance when funding is available.

• Deposit A security deposit is an essential part of startup/successful transition out of the TCSTL. Most of these offenders will be violent and/or sex offenders who not only have more difficulty in finding a rental unit, but also generally need to pay a higher deposit because their guidelines limit their choices of apartments. Due to the high cost of deposits, they will be funded by other applications and other funders.

RF A SDA480-010

• Other Startup The following services will be provided as needed and gradually diminish over time based on an individual offender's employment/financial situation:

o Medication - treatment for addiction and other behavioral issues - $150 average per offender x 100 offenders= $15,000

o Food - initial food items and any other additional food assistance - $50 initial food purchase for apartment x 100 offenders= $5,000

o Work Clothing & Supplies-work clothes/boots as well as necessary tools/supplies - $50 initial clothing and tools x 100 offenders= $5,000

o Cell phone - help with initial cell phone and monthly fees - $25 per phone plus $15 fee per month x 1st

months x 100 offenders = $4,000 o Outside workforce training classes/courses (vocation and academic) - through the union, technical

institutions, colleges, etc. - $100 per offender x 100 offenders = $10,000 o Bus Passes/Tickets - monthly tickets for the start of the program - $80 per month x 1st month x 100

offenders = $8,000

E. Equipment/Supplies

Program offenders need initial paperwork and state issued ID/documentation. Each offender works with CJM/network staff to acquire these items based on need. This averages $10 per offender and funded through other sources.
