Rehabilitation Administration – Juvenile Rehabilitation 020 - M2 - BU - IMPROVE JR YOUTH REENTRY SERVICES
Agency Submittal: 21-2018 Suppl Agency Req Budget Period: 2017-19
REQUEST
The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR) requests $2,780,000 GF-State and 9.6 FTEs to provide JR youth with reentry services to build and deliver a broad based juvenile reentry program as directed by the Governor’s Executive Order 16-05 “Building Safe and Strong Communities through Successful Reentry”. By funding this request, JR will implement reentry programs, principles and critical service supports that will result in reductions to recidivism.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
JR youth encounter huge barriers to reentry back to the community following incarceration. These include obstacles to education and gainful employment. A recent annual report from the Employment Security (ESD) indicates that 91 percent of youth served in the JR system are unemployed while 86 percent of JR youth drop out of high school. In Fiscal Year 2013, 53 percent of JR youth committed a new crime within 18 months of release. Every year, approximately 650 youth release from a Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR) facility without the needed resources for successful reentry back to the community. In the last year, Governor Inslee highlighted the importance of strong reentry systems for reducing recidivism in adults and youth by promoting opportunities to succeed. The Governor released Executive Order 16-05 “Building Safe and Strong Communities through Successful Reentry”. In addition, the Legislature enacted House Bill 2791 to establish the Reentry Council. This aligns with a national movement to support and enhance public safety through: employment and training assistance, education, and housing for individuals releasing from incarceration back to the community. In order to effectively equip youth for successful reentry to their communities, it is imperative that we address JR youth transition needs. Without successful reentry into the community, youth are at a disadvantage and that has unintended consequences on youth’s futures, families, and communities. The following graphs display the impact of not providing adequate reentry services for youthful offenders:

PROPOSED SOLUTION Funding this decision package will provide the resource necessary to increase JR’s ability to address youth reentry service needs. Fifteen FTEs, located throughout the JR continuum at three Institutions and three regional parole offices, as well as community service contracts in the local communities, are necessary to fully implement the critical elements of reentry. These direct care staff and contracted community partners will provide and/or participate in: reentry focused orientations, relevant information to assist with transition, education re-engagement, vocational skills, training programs, apprenticeship opportunities, career development, and vocational rehabilitation services (if applicable). Reentry Specialists at each of the JR Institutions and regional parole offices will address reentry focused orientations for every youth upon entry and exit from the system. Identification of risks and needs will inform the development of a youth reentry plan by engaging families and communities. The reentry plan will focus on living arrangements (including homelessness), community resource supports, family engagement, transportation, education reengagement, employment pathways, and legal obligations. Youth will receive relevant information on Certificate of Restoration of Opportunity (CROP), restoration of voting rights, and assistance in addressing legal obligations (sealing of records,

background checks, and court-ordered restitution). Additionally, assistance will be provided to secure essential reentry documents (i.e. state-issued ID's, medical, birth certificates and social security cards), access to social service programs and other essential life skill resources to establish long-term self-sufficiency. Emphasis will be on activities that address barriers to successful reentry to their home community. Youth will be provided information and access to vocational skills training programs, apprenticeship opportunities, certification programs, education re-enrollment, career development, and vocational rehabilitation services (if applicable). Contracted community services provider support will be offered through community services contracts by establishing
contracts with local community based organizations (CBOs), faith-based, and neighborhood partners and will be
developed and brokered to provide direct supports and essential reentry resources.
EXPECTED RESULTS
Implementing reentry services, as the Governor and Legislature have intended, to build and deliver a broad based
juvenile reentry program will have positive impacts on the community. This will result in increased access to education,
enhanced employment opportunities, improved access to community resources resulting in reductions to recidivism and
improvements to public safety.
Youth will receive reentry-focused orientations upon entry and exit from the system ad leave JR with a written reentry
plan in hand. Through community based contracts, increases in local support and partnerships will result in improved
services for the youth and families we serve. All JR youth will be provided information and relevant reentry documents
that will assist them to successfully reintegrate by being equipped to overcome obstacles and barriers. Each youth will
be connected with education, vocation or employment opportunities depending upon individual needs. Their outcomes
and results will be tracked and reported.
The Legislature provides funding and support for programs that support youth, their families and local communities. A
successful reentry plan and process is critical to youth returning to their home communities. Failure to fund this
decision package will impact JR’s ability to meet the Legislature’s intent and the Governor’s Executive Order 16-05 to
“Build safe and Strong Communities through Successful Reentry”.
STAKEHOLDER IMPACT
JR stakeholders including the Governor’s Statewide Reentry Council, State Board of Community and Technical Colleges,
Department of Licensing, Employment Security Department, Workforce Development Councils, faith based
organizations and community providers including Pioneer Human Services, Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee,
youth, families, juvenile courts and other community members are in support of providing effective reentry and
transition services.

Upon release from a JR facility, youth will return to their local communities which includes accessing services and
resources in their local counties, local governments, tribal governments and other state agencies. These connections
are critically important to supporting youth success. Improving reentry services in the community will include
community based contracts to increase local support and partnerships which will result in improved services for the
youth and families we serve.
Alternatives/Consequences/Other 4. What alternatives were explored by the agency, and why was this alternative chosen?
To build and deliver a broad-based reentry safety net to improve JR youth reentry services, JR has tried to implement programs within existing resources. We have worked to review areas where efficiencies can be realized and programs realigned. The current appropriation does not provide funding sufficient for the staffing and resource to deliver all elements of a successful reentry program. 5. How has or can the agency address the issue or need within its current appropriation level?
JR has attempted to implement elements of reentry within existing resources. Those resources were time limited and not sustainable. The current appropriation does not provide funding sufficient for the staffing and resource to deliver all elements of a successful reentry program. This results in our inability to provide the complete package of reentry service for our youth. 6. Does this decision package include funding for any IT-related costs (hardware, software, services, cloud-based
services, contracts or IT staff)?
