| Massachusetts Department of Correction |
| The Massachusetts Department of Corrections will target high-risk offenders ages 18–35. The program will assess offenders' needs in housing, substance abuse, mental health, and employment and will address these needs by developing individual program participation plans. Project funds will be used to provide housing-related services for offenders within the target population; design, build, test, and improve a system using ongoing resources so that reentry programs are not dependent on federal funding; enhance existing state and local resources and provide options not otherwise available or sufficient; and hire one full-time director of reentry, five full-time reentry case managers, and five full-time housing specialists. |
