FORTUNE SOCIETY PATHWAYS TO RESPONSIBLE FATHERHOOD PROGRAM

THE FORTUNE SOCIETY'S POSITIVE ENCOUNTERS PROGRAM (PEP)

TARGET: INTEGRATED THERAPIES FOR HIGH-RISK SUBSTANCE ABUSERS WITH PTSD

PROVISION OF MAT SERVICES TO JUSTICE-INVOLVED POPULATIONS IN NYC - THE FORTUNE SOCIETY (FORTUNE) IS PROPOSING A NEW PROGRAM IN RESPONSE TO THE US SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION (SAMHSA) FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA) FOR MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT – PRESCRIPTION DRUG AND OPIOID ADDICTION (MAT-PDOA). DRAWING ON OUR EXPERTISE AS ONE OF THE NATION’S PREEMINENT REENTRY ORGANIZATIONS, FORTUNE WILL EXPAND ACCESS TO MAT FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED INDIVIDUALS AGED 16 YEARS AND ABOVE AND REDUCE THE RISK OF RELAPSE AND/OR OVERDOSE FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED ADULTS WITH OUD THROUGH, “MAT SERVICES FOR JUSTICE-INVOLVED POPULATIONS.” FORTUNE PROPOSES SERVING AT LEAST 100 JUSTICE-INVOLVED INDIVIDUALS EACH YEAR FOR THE DURATION OF THIS PROGRAM, EXCEPT FOR THE FIRST YEAR IN WHICH WE PROPOSE SERVING AT LEAST 75 INDIVIDUALS, GIVEN THE TIME NEEDED FOR PROGRAM STARTUP. FORTUNE WILL ENGAGE OUR TARGET POPULATION THROUGH “INREACH” AND OUTREACH, PROMOTING OUR MAT PROGRAM AMONG A WIDE RANGE OF PARTNERS AND PROVIDERS, AND STRENGTHENING PROACTIVE REFERRAL PATHWAYS FROM DEPARTMENTS WITHIN FORTUNE THAT SEE HIGH NUMBERS OF CLIENTS WITH SUD/OUD, SUCH AS ADMISSIONS/BENEFITS ACCESS, OUR INDIVIDUALIZED CORRECTIONS ACHIEVEMENT NETWORK PROGRAM FOR DISCHARGE PLANNING (I-CAN) AND HOUSING (BOTH PERMANENT AND EMERGENCY/TRANSITIONAL). FORTUNE WILL PARTNER WITH NYC CORRECTIONAL HEALTH SERVICES (CHS), WHICH PROVIDES MAT ON RIKERS ISLAND, AS WELL AS THE NURSES IN THE DISCHARGE PLANNING UNIT (DPU) AT THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION (DOCCS), WHICH PROVIDES HEALTHCARE REFERRALS FOR STATE RELEASES, TO RECEIVE REFERRALS FOR CONTINUATION OF MAT UPON THESE PATIENTS’ RELEASE. FORTUNE WILL USE EVIDENCE-BASED SCREENING TOOLS AND PRACTICES TO SCREEN AND ASSESS ELIGIBLE CLIENTS FOR NEEDED MAT SERVICES, INCLUDING BOTH INDUCTION AND CONTINUATION OF MAT, PROVIDING ABUSE-DETERRENT FORMULATIONS SUCH AS BUPRENORPHINE AND/OR BUPRENORPHINE WITH NALOXONE (E.G. SUBOXONE) TO JUSTICE-INVOLVED CLIENTS THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THIS PROGRAM AND REFERRING TO PROVIDER PARTNERS, INCLUDING H+H AND MONTEFIORE TRANSITIONS CLINICS, FOR CLIENTS SEEKING OR IN NEED OF METHADONE-BASED MAT SERVICES OR REQUIRING MAT SERVICES DURING OFF-PEAK HOURS (I.E. EVENINGS AND WEEKENDS). IN ORDER TO ENSURE LONG-TERM RECOVERY AND CONTINUATION OF MAT THROUGH THE REENTRY PROCESS, FORTUNE WILL LEVERAGE RESOURCES FROM ACROSS THE ENTIRE AGENCY. DEDICATED OUD COUNSELORS WITH TRAINING AND/OR CERTIFICATION IN SUBSTANCE USE COUNSELING (SUCH AS A CASAC CERTIFICATION FROM NYS) WILL SUPPORT ALL MAT CLIENTS WITH COUNSELING AND ANY OTHER PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORTS NEEDED, INCLUDING WARM HANDOFFS AND CONNECTIONS TO SERVICES. FURTHERMORE, RECOGNIZING THE INVALUABLE ROLE THAT PEERS WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING EXPERIENCE WITH SUBSTANCE USE TREATMENT AND RECOVERY, CAN HAVE IN MOTIVATING THOSE WITH CRIMINAL JUSTICE HISTORIES, ALL CLIENTS WILL BE CONNECTED TO FORTUNE’S NEST, A PEER-DRIVEN SUPPORTIVE SERVICES PROGRAM THAT WILL GIVE MAT CLIENTS A SAFE SPACE TO ENGAGE WITH PEERS WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH WHAT THEY HAVE. NEST PROVIDES CLIENTS WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUAL MENTORING AND COACHING, AS WELL AS PEER SUPPORT GROUPS, WHICH FORTUNE ANTICIPATES WILL PROVE A CRITICAL ASPECT OF ENSURING ADHERENCE TO MAT OVER THE LONG-TERM. ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED WITH $10 AND $20 GIFT CARDS AT THEIR 3- AND 6-MONTH CHECK-INS TO BETTER INCENTIVIZE COMPLETION OF THE 6-MONTH GPRA EVALUATION AND TO PROMOTE UPTAKE OF TREATMENT IN THE LONG-TERM. FURTHERMORE, FORTUNE WILL ENSURE THAT CLIENTS ARE SUPPORTED HOLISTICALLY, INCLUDING IN HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, CONNECTIONS TO PRIMARY/ BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES, FOOD AND NUTRITION, AND MORE, RECOGNIZING THAT INSTABILITY IN ANY ONE OF THESE AREAS CAN POTENTIALLY TRIGGER A RELAPSE OR LEAD TO AN ENVIRONMENT NOT CONDUCIVE TO LONG-TERM TREATMENT. FORTUNE PRIDES ITSELF ON A COMMITMENT TO LIFETIME AFTERCARE AND WILL EXEMPLIFY THIS DEDICATION BY ENSUR

THE FORTUNE SOCIETY'S ADULT REENTRY PROGRAM - THE FORTUNE SOCIETY’S (FORTUNE’S) ADULT REENTRY PROGRAM (AR PROGRAM) WILL EXPAND UPON THE SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) TREATMENT AND RELATED RECOVERY AND REENTRY SERVICES THAT WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PROVIDED SINCE 2018 UNDER THE SAMHSA OFFENDER REENTRY PROGRAM. OUR POPULATION OF FOCUS IS ADULTS (AGE 18+) WHO HAVE A SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER (SUD) OR CO-OCCURRING DISORDER (COD) AND HAVE BEEN RECENTLY RELEASED, OR ARE SOON TO BE RELEASED FROM, A NYC OR NEW YORK STATE (NYS) CORRECTIONAL FACILITY TO ANY OF NYC’S FIVE BOROUGHS. WE WILL ALSO TARGET PARTICIPANTS ON PAROLE OR PROBATION WHO ARE AT RISK OF RE-INCARCERATION. FORTUNE WILL SERVE 40 PARTICIPANTS PER YEAR FOR A TOTAL OF 200 PARTICIPANTS SERVED OVER THE FIVE YEAR GRANT PERIOD. WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE POPULATION WE WILL SERVE WILL CLOSELY MIRROR THAT OF THE PARTICIPANTS WE HAVE SERVED AS AN ORP CONTRACTOR: PRIMARILY MEN OF COLOR IN NEED OF SUD TREATMENT, MANY OF WHOM HAVE CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS. IN THE FIRST FOUR YEARS OF OUR CURRENT CONTRACT (2018-2023), 99% OF PARTICIPANTS SERVED WERE MALE, 74% WERE PEOPLE OF COLOR (PRIMARILY BLACK AND LATINO), AND THE AVERAGE PARTICIPANT AGE WAS 39. ENGLISH IS THE PRIMARY LANGUAGE FOR MOST PARTICIPANTS, AND WE HAVE BILINGUAL STAFF TO ACCOMMODATE A SMALL NUMBER OF SPANISH SPEAKERS. IN TERMS OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, MOST PARTICIPANTS SERVED TO DATE ARE BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL; UPON INTAKE, 90% WERE UNEMPLOYED AND 67% WERE RESIDING IN A SHELTER/INSTITUTIONAL SETTING. KEY PARTNERS IN THE INITIATIVE WILL INCLUDE THE NYC DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION (DOC) AND THE NYS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION (DOCCS), WHICH WILL ENABLE FORTUNE TO SERVE BOTH CITY AND STATE SENTENCED ADULTS. WE WILL FURTHER LEVERAGE EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE DOCCS HEALTH SERVICES DISCHARGE PLANNING UNIT (DPU); DOCCS OFFENDER REENTRY COUNSELORS (ORCS); THE DOCCS PAROLE REENTRY TEAM; AND THE COUNTY REENTRY TASK FORCES (CRTFS) IN NYC, TWO OF WHICH (BRONX AND QUEENS COUNTY) WE WILL USE EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTIONS, INCLUDING MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING (MI), THINKING FOR A CHANGE (T4C), SEEKING SAFETY, ANGER MANAGEMENT, AND RELAPSE PREVENTION. OUR PROGRAM’S PRIMARY GOALS ARE: (1) COORDINATE WITH DOC/DOCCS DISCHARGE PLANNING, PAROLE, AND PROBATION TO EFFECTIVELY PLAN FOR THE TRANSITION OF INDIVIDUALS IN NEED OF SUD TREATMENT AND RELATED RECOVERY AND REENTRY SERVICES FROM THE CORRECTIONAL TO THE COMMUNITY SETTING AND HELP PARTICIPANTS ON PAROLE/PROBATION WHO ARE AT RISK OF RE-INCARCERATION RECEIVE SUD TREATMENT AND RELATED SUPPORTS TO AVOID RETURNING TO JAIL/PRISON; (2) CONNECT AR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS TO SUPPORTIVE REENTRY SERVICES—AT FORTUNE AND OTHER COMMUNITY-BASED PARTNERS—THAT WILL ASSIST WITH THEIR REENTRY AND RECOVERY NEEDS, INCLUDING HEALTHCARE, BENEFITS ACCESS, HOUSING, OUTPATIENT MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT, OUTPATIENT SUD TREATMENT, AND MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) SERVICES; AND (3) UTILIZE BEST PRACTICES IN DATA COLLECTION/PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT. ADDITIONAL OUTCOMES INCLUDE: ENSURE THAT 100% OF THOSE ENROLLED IN THE AR PROGRAM HAVE AN INITIAL GPRA INTERVIEW, AND 80% COMPLETE A SIX-MONTH FOLLOW-UP GPRA; MAKE SCREENING SERVICES FOR OUR HOUSING PORTFOLIO AVAILABLE TO 100% OF AR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS IN NEED OF HOUSING; AT POINT OF DISCHARGE, CONNECT 100% OF AR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WHO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THEIR SUD TREATMENT PROGRAM AND ARE SEEKING WORK TO FORTUNE’S EMPLOYMENT SERVICES PROGRAM, WHICH WILL PROVIDE IN-KIND SERVICES FOR ALL ELIGIBLE/INTERESTED PARTICIPANTS; REFER 100% OF AR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS FOR WHOM SUCH REFERRAL IS APPROPRIATE AND DESIRED TO FORTUNE’S IN-HOUSE EDUCATION PROGRAM TO RECEIVE SERVICES (IN-KIND) INCLUDING TUTORING, TEST PREPARATION, AND MENTORING; SCREEN 100% OF AR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WHO REPORT CHRONIC PHYSICAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS, AND/OR SUD FOR ENROLLMENT INTO FORTUNE’S CARE MANAGEMENT UNIT, AND, IF NEEDED, CONNECT THEM TO AN APPROPRIATE HEALTHCARE PROVIDER AND/OR FQHC.
