This is a transitional residence program that provides employment for people who have recently left incarceration. The goal is to prevent recidivism through guaranteed employment, income, housing, and financial stability. Program participants must be accepted into foster care facilities managed by the Department of Homelessness Services and undergo medical and psychiatric evaluations. The intervention consists of bimonthly meetings with a case manager, where an individualized transition and independence plan is developed, and adherence to the program is assessed. The program has an average duration of one year and is structured in three phases:
1) The first 30 days;
2) Transition employment, and
3) Transition to independence.
At the end of the program, participants receive financial assistance for five months if they maintain employment, housing, and sobriety requirements.
