3.	Date of Request:	10/18/2017
4.	Project/Program Description:
The Lake County Re-Entry Pilot Program proposes the creation of an offender re-entry program that will coordinate services for individuals reentering our community from incarceration using the Transition from Jail to Community (TJC) model which includes screening and assessment. The focus is on reducing the tendency to reoffend and implementing evidence-based practices that enhance community safety with the target population. It will provide coordination of support services such as job training, transportation, employment, clothing, healthcare and other services provided by nongovernmental and governmental agencies. The program is expected to reduce the cost of incarceration of re-offenders by providing needed, stabilizing services so they are able to sustain a crime free life. Assessment of risk and need would begin during the booking process. A transition plan would be created prior to release and case management would ensure compliance with referrals and resource appointments.
