Develop and implement a sustainability plan so that funding for reintegration services continues as long as services are needed. Focus on working with community members to transform their lives and fully reintegrate back into the community and, for some community members, to integrate into the community for the first time. In this regard, we will track the number of constituents who repeat offend versus the number of community members who prepare for and secure employment.
