Reentry programs report 216 served since launch; committee asks for more financial detail
Summary
Program staff reported CRI has served 216 people since April, with 30 current participants and 87 completions; CAP served 39 individuals in the month and produced $6,505 in fines paid to local jurisdictions. Committee members requested cost-per-participant breakdowns and more granular service metrics.
Nick Robbins presented a combined Community Rebuilding Initiative (CRI) and Community Alternative Program (CAP) update. "To date, we serve 216 individuals in the program," Robbins said, noting the CRI has 30 current participants and 87 successful completions since its April start. He reported the CRI recidivism figure in the packet as 29.89 percent and explained the count includes anyone adjudicated while participating in the program, even if they were present for just days.
Robbins also reviewed CAP operations: nine referrals during the month, 39 individuals served, four recent graduates and 34 current participants. He said the county pays for 32 beds but programs often house extra Washington County clients; clients contributed $6,505 in cash fines last month. Committee members asked for itemized breakdowns of services delivered (housing, direct outcomes), expenses and income for both programs, and cost-per-participant. Robbins agreed to provide the fuller monthly reports and expense detail the committee requested.
Robbins said 151 drug tests were administered to CAP/CRI clients in the prior month with zero failures and explained tests are handled via a lab that bills insurance (initially Medicaid for newly enrolled clients, then employer insurance once they obtain work). Committee members also asked for data about how many participants received specific services such as housing placements.
