The 2018 reauthorization of the JJDPA sets out, for the first time, language related to reentry plans for youth who are returning to the community.
This is a critically important step to ensure that young people exit the justice system to safe, stable, and secure housing.
Research has shown that 44% of young people who are experiencing homelessness report that they have also spent time in a jail or detention facility.
This webinar will discuss the new JJDPA reentry requirements, how states can work with youth, families, schools, businesses, and community-based organizations when planning for reentry, and provide examples of successful programs.
Presenters:
- Darla Bardine, Executive Director, National Network for Youth
- Vazaskia Crockell, Director, Office of Juvenile Justice, Washington State DSHS Rehabilitation Administration
- Naomi Smoot, Executive Director, Coalition for Juvenile Justice
