The Community Services and Connections for Ex-Offenders Project combines case management, substance abuse and mental health services, housing assistance, employment counseling, and peer support to assist ex-offenders re-entering Rockingham County and the City of Harrisonburg. The Reentry Council will identify opportunities for policy/systems strengthening based on outcomes. This project targets offenders sentenced to and serving at least three months who have a substance use and/or co-occurring mental health disorder. The project aims to serve 210 transitioning offenders (70 per year). Four out of five are expected to be male and one out of five are expected to be female. The goal of the project is to reduce recidivism and promote recovery among ex-offenders with substance use and/or co-occurring mental disorders by expanding and enhancing behavioral health and recovery support services and coordination among service providers. Project partners will achieve the following objectives: Establish community-wide policies and procedures for connecting transitioning offenders immediately with needed behavioral health, physical health, housing, employment, and other service; Improve coordination and data sharing among corrections, behavioral health, physical health, housing, employment, peer support, and other service providers to serve ex-offenders with substance use and/or co-occurring mental disorders; Provide all participants case management services, substance abuse and/or mental health services, employment counseling, peer support with navigating services, and assistance applying for public health insurance and other benefits; Provide 105 ex-offenders (35 per year) subsidy housing assistance (in-kind contribution); Provide a weekly Peer Support Group; and provide 210 ex-offenders (70 per year), their family members, first responders, and the public education on opioid overdose prevention and increase access to naloxone.
