Community Partners Reinvestment Project

Description:

The Community Partners Reinvestment (CPR) project works to reduce recidivism among young adult male offenders ages 18-25 with an individualized program of housing, employment, addiction treatment and other services. This grant will expand the model to include an integrated mental health component. Collaborating providers including the Oregon Department of Corrections have begun a pilot that engages the inmate and his family six months prior to discharge and includes a comprehensive psychosocial evaluation. The coalition partners emphasize that these ''emerging adults'' are at great risk of returning to prison without developmentally appropriate programs to guide their reentry into the community.
