In the final session of this community of practice, participants will understand the importance of sharing outcomes with key stakeholders and discuss strategies to share those outcomes to support program sustainability. Participants will also learn how to tailor evaluation/outcomes to specific audiences by sharing key findings, executive summaries and short briefs highlighting relevant data.

Session 1 of the Reducing Housing Barriers to Jail Diversion community of practice introduced key evidence-based housing models that can be used to support diversion for people with behavioral health needs. It was designed to help participants gain a foundational understanding of the housing principles that inform the Housing First approach and break the cycle of incarceration and homelessness. Participants were introduced to the Zero Returns to Homelessness initiative and learned how they can use it to support diversion efforts.

This session provided attendees with strategies to engage family members beyond the person experiencing incarceration to set the stage for successful reentry. Individuals do not exist in isolation, whether they are a parent, child, sibling, aunt or uncle, grandparent, or other family member of origin or choice. Grantees can collaborate effectively with community partners to treat the whole family, allowing families to break the intergenerational cycles of trauma that often result in criminogenic behaviors, substance use, child abuse, and neglect.
