The Fortune Society’s (Fortune’s) Adult Reentry Program (AR Program) will expand upon the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and related recovery and reentry services that we have successfully provided since 2018 under the SAMHSA Offender Reentry Program. Our population of focus is adults (age 18+) who have a substance use disorder (SUD) or co-occurring disorder (COD) and have been recently released, or are soon to be released from, a NYC or New York State (NYS) correctional facility to any of NYC’s five boroughs. We will also target participants on parole or probation who are at risk of re-incarceration. Fortune will serve 40 participants per year for a total of 200 participants served over the five year grant period. We anticipate that the demographics of the population we will serve will closely mirror that of the participants we have served as an ORP contractor: primarily men of color in need of SUD treatment, many of whom have co-occurring disorders. In the first four years of our current contract (2018-2023), 99% of participants served were male, 74% were people of color (primarily Black and Latino), and the average participant age was 39. English is the primary language for most participants, and we have bilingual staff to accommodate a small number of Spanish speakers. In terms of socioeconomic status, most participants served to date are below the poverty level; upon intake, 90% were unemployed and 67% were residing in a shelter/institutional setting. Key partners in the initiative will include the NYC Department of Correction (DOC) and the NYS Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS), which will enable Fortune to serve both City and State sentenced adults. We will further leverage existing partnerships with the DOCCS Health Services Discharge Planning Unit (DPU); DOCCS Offender Reentry Counselors (ORCs); the DOCCS Parole Reentry team; and the County Reentry Task Forces (CRTFs) in NYC, two of which (Bronx and Queens County) We will use evidence-based interventions, including Motivational Interviewing (MI), Thinking for a Change (T4C), Seeking Safety, Anger Management, and Relapse Prevention. Our program’s primary goals are: (1) Coordinate with DOC/DOCCS Discharge Planning, Parole, and Probation to effectively plan for the transition of individuals in need of SUD treatment and related recovery and reentry services from the correctional to the community setting and help participants on parole/probation who are at risk of re-incarceration receive SUD treatment and related supports to avoid returning to jail/prison; (2) Connect AR Program participants to supportive reentry services—at Fortune and other community-based partners—that will assist with their reentry and recovery needs, including healthcare, benefits access, housing, outpatient mental health treatment, outpatient SUD treatment, and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) services; and (3) Utilize best practices in data collection/performance measurement. Additional outcomes include: ensure that 100% of those enrolled in the AR Program have an initial GPRA interview, and 80% complete a six-month follow-up GPRA; make screening services for our housing portfolio available to 100% of AR Program participants in need of housing; at point of discharge, connect 100% of AR Program participants who successfully complete their SUD treatment program and are seeking work to Fortune’s Employment Services program, which will provide in-kind services for all eligible/interested participants; refer 100% of AR Program participants for whom such referral is appropriate and desired to Fortune’s in-house education program to receive services (in-kind) including tutoring, test preparation, and mentoring; screen 100% of AR Program participants who report chronic physical health conditions, mental health concerns, and/or SUD for enrollment into Fortune’s Care Management Unit, and, if needed, connect them to an appropriate healthcare provider and/or FQHC.
