- Currently the Department of Corrections has an MOU with Pioneer Human Services allowing an office space at their facility.

Information sharing and collaboration is consistant and relavant to their success.
Data Collection
- Does your organization collect demographic data on participants?
- Yes
- If "yes", what kind of data? And what results has this data yielded?
- All. Predominately Caucasian middle aged male. Similar to the jail/prison population.
- Does your organization collect data about the process of your initiative/program?
- Yes
- If "yes", what kind of data? And what results has this data yielded?
- Treatment (tx) for Mental Health and Substance abuse, 911 contacts, local jail visits, debt/credit management, education preparation/tutoring, job training/searching, and many more. This data suggests (preliminary) that the more engaged a resident is programming, and consisted the attendance, they less likely to re-offend and more likely to move out "successfully".

- Yes
- If "yes", what kind of data? And what results has this data yielded?
