Description
The Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ) is seeking to create a coordinated system of transitional services called the Community Justice Transition Network (CJTN) to provide discharge planning services and connect individuals leaving city jail to mentoring, education, employment, therapeutic services, and an array of additional supportive services. The CJTN will function as the in-custody and in-community case management and wrap-around service provider. The MOCJ-funded Community Justice Re-entry Network (CJRN) has provided paid transitional employment, job training services, and a variety of supportive social services to thousands of justice-involved New Yorkers. The CJTN will build on the success of the CJRN and refine service delivery.
Some key aspects of the job and scope of work include:
• Providing hybrid in-custody/in-community transition services
• Offering comprehensive education and employment, therapeutic, and supportive social services
• Tailoring opportunities and services to individuals' specific risks, needs, and interests
• Engaging clients in services through building trusting relationships, including employing Peer Mentors
• Providing services in neighborhoods with the greatest numbers of individuals released from jail
• Adapting an operational schedule that is aligned with the DOC discharge protocol
• Delivering supportive social services through the prime contracted organization and/or through a network of subcontracts, linkage agreements, and/or local partnerships
• Focusing on building relationships, addressing individual needs, and fostering a sense of ownership and empowerment
