REENTRY BROKERAGE: Provides former offenders wishing to successfully reintegrate into free society "reentry navigation services" that include client and local community empowerment and engagement in the delivery of reentry services. By empowering, educating, and engaging the client to take an active role in mapping his future, the client's outlook changes as he begins to appreciate the benefits of the Model's comprehensive and collaborative approach; he becomes personally aware of the resources (and, individuals) available and willing to assist him; thereby, making him more committed to his role in achieving success. He feels hopeful, secure, confident, happier, and healthier; increasing the likelihood that he will find a future of self-sufficiency that is crime-free. And, uniquely, once an Unlocking Doors' client, always an Unlocking Doors' client - he will have a familiar, open, and friendly place to go when the going gets tough. Through systematic and carefully coordinated collaboration and partnership with a "brokered" Community Network of 300+ (and counting) statewide agencies, organizations and providers, Unlocking Doors' model allows individuals with criminal backgrounds to transition back into the community in a positive, steady, yet comprehensive format that increases their motivation and their chances for a future of self-sufficiency that is crime free. This model consists of the following: Reentry Brokerage (Continued) . Comprehensive risk/needs assessment to determine the client's risk for reoffending, specific needs, achieved training and work history, education level, eligible benefits, etc. . Individualized Reentry Brokerage Plan compiled by the client's dedicated Unlocking Doors' Reentry Broker from all information gained during the client's assessment; the plan is "individualized" to the client's specific needs. . Referrals to one or more of Unlocking Doors' Community Network Providers, Employers and other service providers/resources (the experts in specific services and resources) to assist the client in working through the specific items addressed in his/her Individualized Reentry Brokerage Plan; and .
