Purpose
Awards funding to state, local, and tribal governments to help procure clinical services, permanent supportive housing, and other supports for individuals currently or formerly involved with the justice system, especially those identified with substance use disorder (SUD). Enables recipients to offer contracts to outside organizations to deliver housing and reentry services that are performance-based or outcome-based, where payment for services is tied to achieving specific program goals. Supports efforts to enhance public safety, reduce recidivism, and address the treatment and recovery needs of people with mental health, substance use, or co-occurring disorders by helping individuals successfully reenter society after release from incarceration.
Eligible applicants may apply for funding under the appropriate program category:
Category 1 - Performance-Based and Outcomes-Based Contracting for Reentry Services objectives include:
- Strengthen already established performance-based and outcomes-based contracts to provide reentry services for people leaving incarceration identified as moderate to high risk of recidivism, as determined through a validated risk tool
- Manage all aspects of existing reentry service contracts, including data and report collection, regular performance and outcome reviews, on and off-site monitoring, outcomes validation, and incentive payment approvals
- Ensure that government staff and service providers are adequately trained on performance-based and outcomes-based procurement, reentry services, data collection, and outcomes validation
Category 2 - Performance-Based and Outcomes-Based Contracting for Permanent Supportive Housing objectives include:
- Enter into performance-based and outcomes-based contracts to deliver high quality, evidence-based permanent supportive housing (PSH) to formerly incarcerated individuals living with a SUD
- Manage the performance-based and outcomes-based PSH contract, including data and report collection, regular performance and outcome reviews, on and off-site monitoring, outcomes validation, and incentive payment approvals
- Ensure that government staff and service providers are adequately trained on performance-based and outcomes-based procurement, PSH, data collection, and outcomes validation
