Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
Provides pre-trial intervention for homeless, bondable offenders. Provides referral to appropriate housing and case management, and tracks clients' participation in assigned programs as required by the courts. The HART program supports the efforts of the existing Drug Court and Pre-Trial Diversion system. HART staff incudes five social workers and one clinical social worker. Staff provides on-site (in-jail) elegibility assessment interviews, represents clients in court, arranges placement in treatment services, monitors complicance with requirements of conditional release, and reports clients progress to courts. Additionally, they transport clients to court appointments and assist treatment case managers in developing service plans. This intervention program identifies individuals who would benefit from treatment services and provides an alternative to incarceration. |
