A NEW VISION

FROM CONFINEMENT TO A COMMUNITY-BASED SYSTEM OF CARE

A state juvenile justice department had just embarked on a strategic transformation to reduce the number of incarcerated youth, adopt a rehabilitative framework, and replace outdated facilities and techniques with a more therapeutic, community-based and family-centered system. To accomplish these reforms, a private service coordination provider looked to Human Services Innovation to establish a quality, effective and efficient community-based system of care.

STRATEGIES AND INNOVATIONS
  1. Introduced the service coordination provider to key state and local stakeholders as a leader in developing systems strategies to meet the state’s juvenile justice reform vision and goals.
  2. Established Memorandums of Understanding with a network of comprehensive community-based providers committed to serving justice involved youth in an evidence-based manner.
  3. Advocated for a high-quality, proven approach to the implementation of a regionally defined system of care.
  4. Identified a workforce management and expert advisory team for leading and sustainably delivering evidence-based practices in alignment with contract requirements.
SUCCESSES
  • The company was awarded a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract and now operates a network of evidence-based providers across the full continuum of community-based services to meet justice involved youth and family needs.
  • The successful systems transformation has effectively reduced juvenile detention placements and increased highly-effective and localized community-based services to help justice involved youth and their families remain connected, supported and ultimately more successful.
  • The company is now recognized in the state as an industry leader and resource in evidence-based service delivery across multiple state service delivery systems, affording them opportunities for growth and expansion
