This program will be an extensive collaboration with four agencies which have worked together in the past but without the extent of overlap and infrastructure necessary to make this project a success. The four agencies include the Senior Resource Center, Jefferson Center for Mental Health, Tri-West Group Inc., and the Mental Health Center of Boulder County (which is in the process of a name change to the Mental Health Center of Boulder and Broomfield Counties). During this proposed three year project an advisory group will consist of key personnel from the four agencies. They will be joined by constituents of the target population, several agencies and government entities to form an advisory board which will assist in strategic planning, directing the activities of the program, reporting back to their agencies, and looking for opportunities to import the model to their, and other agencies around the state. A coordinator will be hired to conduct implementation of the program elements, area resources for elderly adults will be collated, a centralized ‘single-point entry’ call center put in place, and outreach teams hired and trained to be sent on referred home visits of elderly adults in need.

Treatment Accountability for Safer Communities, a case management approach for individuals in reentry with an increased risk for alcohol or other drug abuse, will be the primary focus of the effort with the minority population in reentry and will develop an approach that integrates Hepatitis and HIV screening and referral into its current substance abuse screening and referral services, providing the model for expansion to other service providers. At the same time the larger city and state systems will explore ways to coordinate substance abuse, HIV / AIDS, and Hepatitis prevention and treatment so that clients receiving services for anyone of the concerns will be consistently screened and tested for the other two concerns.

Grantee: Turning Point Ctr. for Youth & Fam. Dev.	Fort Collins, CO
Program: Young Offender Reentry Program (YORP) 2004	TI16939
Congressional District: CO-04
FY 2006 Funding: $439,400
Project Period: 07/15/2005 - 07/14/2009
The Colorado Young Offender Community Reentry, Treatment, and Coordination Program will provide 200 particularly high-risk young offenders with a uniform and coordinated combination of substance abuse, community support, restorative justice, and cognitive education services. As juveniles who have received adult sentences but can access neither adult offender nor juvenile offender services these young offenders currently fall through the cracks of the Colorado Corrections system. Their status as felony offenders makes reentry particularly difficult, increases the likelihood of recidivism and relapse, and creates a higher degree of danger to public safety than for most youthful offenders. The planned services include universal access to quality-assured, consistent, and research-based substance abuse treatment - which is currently not available in some areas or to some clients. Circles of Accountability and Support and other community linkages will be added to the service mix. The young offenders can continue to receive these services after their state sentence has been completed and the project stakeholders have pulled out of their lives.

FY 2006 Funding: $350,000
Project Period: 09/30/2004 - 09/29/2008
White Bison, Inc. will assist Native American peers in developing a "recovery infrastructure" in 15 new communities across the United States. The Wellbriety Movement provides a culturally appropriate framework for treatment, intervention, recovery, and prevention based upon the teachings of the Elders, the Native American Medicine Wheel and the 12-steps. The program is designed to help prevent relapse, reframe community norms about recovery, and reduce stigma associated with both treatment and recovery by "Putting a New Face on Recovery" in Native American communities.
