Questions?

Submitted by James Lah on

Erie County, New York requested assistance in developing a clear, comprehensive overview of the county’s reentry system. The Council of State Governments (CSG) was selected to fulfill the request and conducted an assessment and mapping exercise through interview and surveys of service providers in Erie County. The assistance occurred from March to August 2017 and involved meetings with various stakeholders and groups and analysis of survey results and current standard operating procedures. CSG delivered the final report to the requestor in August 2017.

Description of the Problem

Erie County is requesting the assistance of BJA NTTAC in mapping the Erie County reentry system using a sequential intercept model. We are further requesting assistance with planning and implementing recommended changes that derive from the mapping.

Ere County is requesting the assistance of BJA NTTAC in providing a clear, comprehensive overview of the reentry system in Erie County. This would be inclusive of all formerly incarcerated inmates returning to the community after completing a prison sentence, from state, federal, and local facilities. We envision that this overview would be produced in a mapping exercise using a sequential intercept model, and that the mapping exercise would be conducted under the guidance of trained facilitators provided through BJA NTTAC. After the mapping, we would also request assistance in determining how best to effectuate change with the limited resources available.

Performance Metrics
How do you anticipate that the requested assistance will address the problems?
The reentry system in Erie County is large and unwieldly. A recent meeting of stakeholders representing a large range of governmental and nonprofit agencies identified lack of coordination, if not outright conflict, among siloed agencies providing services. Lack of data and problems with information sharing were also cited. A mapping exercise would bring these agencies together in a collaborative way, would allow us to determine weaknesses, strengths, and gaps in the system, and would generate usable data. Then, going forward, information gleaned from the mapping could be used to address issues in the most efficient way.
