OAR launched an innovative evidence-based program, Intensive Reentry Program (IRP), in July 2015 to work one-on-one with the most critical individuals, those assessed at a higher risk of re-offending.See Schedule O for additional information 258456 57188 Community Service: Community service is a critical alternative sentencing option for the courts rather than incarceration. Often courts sentence individuals involved with the justice system for the first time and those with minor offenses to community service hours which saves tax payers money, keeps families together, and allows the individual to continue attending school or working, as well as contributing to the community. Through community service, participants are invited to take responsibility for past actions and repair the damage done by giving back to the community and providing a service that enriches the lives of others as well as their own. See Schedule O for additional information 254945 Education and Outreach: OAR reaches out to various groups within the Northern Virginia area each week to educate them about the criminal justice system, and specifically the barriers that individuals returning from incarceration face when coming home. We host events; we speak at civic and faith based meetings; we speak out to businesses in an effort to ease the hiring barriers for our participants; and we actively recruit volunteers year-round to help staff various OAR programs and start new supportive relationships. We involve our current and former participants in this effort as they learn and continue to advocate for themselves. Several current and former participants have spoken to groups and public officials giving the community a unique perspective.

The goal is to avoid re-incarceration and the trauma associated with incarceration. This model has been implemented in other parts of the country and studies show that it will reduce recidivism by 30% each year. Of the 17 individuals who have participated in the Intensive Reentry Program (IRP) since July 1, 2015, nine have been released and out in the community ranging from three to six months, and only one of those nine has re-offended since release, demonstrating that the IRP has an 89% success rate for individuals within six months of release. The OAR Reentry Services Department is on the journey with nearly 900 individuals and families each year. Reentry services are provided to those living in Arlington County and the Cities of Alexandria and Falls Church, those incarcerated in Alexandria's William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center, Arlington County Detention Facility, and those returning to our jurisdictions from Coffeewood Correctional Facility, Haynesville Correctional Center and Peumansend Creek Regional Jail. Reentry staff utilizes evidence based practices both pre and post release to assist individuals currently and/or formerly incarcerated to reenter the community. We start by conducting assessments either an emergency needs assessment or one that evaluates the criminogenic risks of the participant and from there we develop an informed individualized plan based on the highest priority needs. Each person's plan can range from pre and/or post release (1) assistance with basic needs and referrals for housing, substance abuse treatment programs, and other social services, (2) enrollment in courses that address criminal thinking behaviors, (3) assistance with and employment, job placement, professional development, workplace skills courses, and job retention training, (4) one-on-one and group-based therapeutic services, (5) working with the participant's family members/support while the participant is still incarcerated so that family reunification begins much earlier in the process and continuing after the participant has been released, and (6) post-release socialization activities including outings, networking and advocacy. Our robust pre-release program allows OAR staff and community volunteers to facilitate orientations, life skills classes, and provide case management to incarcerated individuals in the Alexandria's William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center, Arlington County Detention Facility, and those returning to our jurisdictions from Coffeewood Correctional Facility, Haynesville Correctional Center and Peumansend Creek Regional Jail. These courses and case management begin the process of preparing individuals so that when they are released they have a head start. Courses include employment readiness, computer labs, financial management, anger management, conflict resolution, health awareness, math for the trades, healthy relationships, current events, ethics, parenting, and yoga. In addition, OAR provides toys to the children of incarcerated parents and those recently released in our jurisdictions over the December holidays. Participation in the reentry program is completely voluntary. Form 990, Part III, Line 4b Community Service: (continued) The community service team works with close to 1,700 youth and adults completing community service hours, partners with the courts to ensure the hours are performed in accordance with the judges orders, and collaborates with over 300 nonprofits, faith communities, and government agencies where the participants are placed to perform their community service hours. 91% of participants in the program complete all of their assigned hours within the time allocated by the courts. Many complete more than the hours assigned. 85% of those who completed the program reported, through an anonymous survey, that they found the experience worthwhile and meaningful. In addition, some courts give the option of completing community service hours as a way to pay back court fees for individuals who have been released from incarceration and are unable to pay off the fines due to lack of income. We often hear stories of individuals who have been hired by the organization where they performed their community service hours. OAR administers the program for Arlington County and the City of Falls Church courts, as well as supervises other participants who have been sentenced in other courts around the country and are living in Arlington County or the Cities of Alexandria and City of Falls Church. The OAR Community Service Department works with the following participants (1) Individuals who are court-ordered to complete community service through the Arlington County or City of Falls Church Courts, (2) Individuals who are court-ordered to complete community service through other courts throughout the country and the participants live or perform their community service hours in Arlington County or the Cities of Alexandria or Falls Church, (3) Individuals who have been approved by a Judge to complete community service in lieu of paying their court costs, (4) Individuals who are referred by their attorney to complete community service pre-trial. Some examples of community service opportunities at local nonprofit organizations can include helping in a food bank, assisting with a mailing, participating in a car wash for county vehicles, shelving books at the library, tutoring at an after school program, providing administrative support, teaching a computer class, and cleaning up a park. OAR community service participants also assist in local community events including the annual Arlington County Fair, Air Force Cycling Classic, Columbia Pike Blues Fest, and Rosslyn Blues Festival, among others. Form 990, Part III, Line 4c,Education and Outreach: (continued) We had 250 volunteers providing administrative support in the office, program support working directly with participants, and assisting at OAR special events. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8b The Board of Directors makes all decisions for OAR. Board committees do not have authority to act on behalf of the Board, only to make recommendations to the Board. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 A copy of the Form 990 is first reviewed and approved by the Executive Director. Upon Executive Director's approval, it is forwarded to the Board of Directors prior to submission. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Each director and officer is required to review a copy of the conflict of interest policy, which requires each person to disclose any relationships, positions or circumstances in which he or she believes could contribute to a conflict. Following full disclosure of a possible conflict of interest, the Board of Directors shall determine whether a conflict of interest exists and, if so the Board shall vote to authorize or reject the transaction or take any other action deemed necessary to address the conflict and protect OAR's best interests. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a Compensation decisions for the Executive Director are made using comparability data for similar positions in comparable organizations, and are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. The organization currently has no other compensated officers or employees meeting the key employee definition. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 OAR makes its governing documents, certain policies (including conflict of interest policy) and financial statements available upon request based on discretion of management. Form 990, Part XII, Line 2c: Members of OAR's Board of Directors assume responsibility for oversight of the audit, including selection of independent accountant. This process is consistent with prior years.
