Reentry Planning & Community Transition (Post-Placement)

Pipeline 09.1

Transparency note: reentry metrics depend on interagency coordination. Where education or housing data are delayed, we annotate partial coverage and mark series breaks when definitions or tracking systems change.

What We Track

Planning Timelines

Reentry plan initiation date vs. projected release date (target: ≥30 days pre-release)
Plan finalized within 7–10 days of actual release; revisions documented if delayed

Team Participation

Attendance recorded for: youth, caregiver, probation officer, education liaison, BH or workforce partner
Roles & commitments summarized in meeting minutes or plan notes

Education & Workforce Readiness

Confirmed enrollment (school, GED, or post-secondary)
Credential attainment or job placement verified before exit
Workforce or mentoring referral accepted; first appointment scheduled

Housing & Reintegration

Housing type confirmed (family, transitional, independent)
Aftercare supports or mentoring linked prior to discharge
Transportation plan established (school, work, appointments)

Follow-Up & Continuity

Contacts logged at 30/90/180 days post-release (attendance, engagement, status)
Reentry program participation rate & re-referral events monitored for feedback loop

Typical Flow

Initiate plan 30–60 days pre-release; assign coordinator
- Record kickoff date & responsible parties; begin housing/school search
Hold meeting with youth, caregivers, and partners to set education, housing, and health goals
- Capture attendance; log partner commitments and action steps
Finalize plan with written linkages & contact schedule
- Confirm school/work enrollment, housing, and service contacts pre-release
Release & handoff to supervision or mentoring provider
- Transmit full plan; verify receipt and first meeting date
Follow-up checks at 30/90/180 days for stability
- Track housing, school/work participation, and recidivism-free status

Simple Flow

Initiate plan 30–60 days pre-release; assign reentry coordinator.
Hold meeting with youth, caregivers, and partners to outline education, housing, and health goals.
Finalize plan with written commitments, service linkages, and contact schedule.
Release & handoff to community supervision or mentoring provider; confirm receipt of plan and records.
Follow-up via 30/90/180-day checks for housing stability, school/work participation, and recidivism-free status.

Data & Methods

Reentry indicators use placement-based denominators. Timeliness is measured as plan-initiated→release days. Education/workforce readiness uses linked administrative data when available. Housing status and engagement are tracked through direct contact or provider reports. When definitions or agency responsibilities shift, we mark series breaks. Data-sharing and privacy are governed by Data Governance & Ethical Integration and Data Privacy & Disclosure Control. Follow-up metrics align with conventions in Longitudinal Tracking & Cohort Linkage and Outcome Measurement & Indicator Design.
