The Day Reporting Center (DRC) is an alternative to incarceration for offenders who have a substance abuse addiction and for purposes of implementing re-entry programs. It is an on-site, non-residential program that is designed to change an offender’s adv erse thinking patterns and attitudes, improve job skills and job retention.
Goals Fiscal Year 2026
Review and evaluate the current partners and seek additional community partnerships to provide services to participants (Although this was an FY2025 goal, review of partnerships is continually reviewed by the Program Director. Currently, there is one community agency that has been inconsistent with their attendance in providing services to participants, so the Program Director is actively seeking an alternate agency to provide this service). Seek funding opportunities to ensure the program continuation (This is an ongoing goal – the DRC submits applications to The Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention and Policy {GOCCP} annually). Host the “Continuing Care Café” (This was an FY2025 goal but due to logistical issues and time constraints, had to be delayed).
Accomplishments Fiscal Year 2025
