Focusing on Reentry Housing and Family Engagement in Collaborative, Comprehensive Case Plans

Hosted by The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center; the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA); and National Reentry Resource Center 

This webinar will showcase updates to the Collaborative Comprehensive Case Plans web tool, which offers guidance and case studies on integrating critical behavioral health and criminogenic risk and needs information into comprehensive case plans that actively engage the participant and reflect a balanced and collaborative partnership between criminal justice and social service systems. The tool’s new content focuses on considerations for family support and housing services in case planning. Webinar speakers will include representatives from Second Chance Act Grantee Old Pueblo Community Services in Pima County, AZ, who are featured in the tool as an example of having a specialized housing provider as a lead case planner. Speakers will share lessons from their experience implementing this approach.
