Helping Offenders Map Entry (Link H.O.M.E.) will use intensive case management with an array of recovery supports that include vocational training, employment assistance, and family services to reduce recidivism among offenders with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse conditions. The program targets the 33% of Rikers Island city-sentenced inmates who will be returning to NYC's Brooklyn and Staten Island. City sentenced inmates have rates of recidivism greater than that of all prison detainees. Trauma-informed and culturally and linguistically appropriately services will include: screening and assessment; comprehensive case management and linkage to appropriate behavioral health treatment; TASC monitoring of treatment progress; provision of vocational services to increase enrollment in educational and vocational training and employment; targeted focus on treatment retention, relapse, and criminogenic thinking with Mapping Enhanced Counseling; and family re-integration through Consumer Centered Family Consultation. Project goals include: Improved coordination across systems serving offenders with COD by creation of a H.O.M.E. Network and individualized transition plans; Reduced criminogenic thinking and reduced criminal behaviors; Improved economic supports and stability; and Improved well-being and functioning with families/allies.
