What it reported doing in 2024

Network in prisons - the network therapeutic community is a structured social learning model based on choice theory and grounded in trained facilitators and peer-support activities. Daily group encounters and shared community experiences lead to positive changes in participants conduct, attitudes and emotions and adoption of prosocial values. Network addresses the destructive patterns that have led to the participants incarceration and emphasizes: choice, accountability, self discipline and respect. Network supports programs for approximately 500 participants in 8 nys prisons. Network in community- network continues the work that begins in the prisons when participants are granted parole by offering post-release cognitive behavioural therapy and connection to community-based wraparound services in order to allow its members to rebuild their lives and to strengthen their families and their communities. In addition to serving theparolee population, network provides services as part of alternatives to incarceration programs. With high success rates our ati erogram diverts over 200 individuals a year from incarceration. In total, network provided services to approximately 300 individuals in locations in harlem and south bronx in the most recent fiscal year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 76% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
