Individual Reentry Assessment | Kirkland, WA

description of resource

This tool is a comprehensive reentry assessment designed to identify an individual’s needs, strengths, and goals across key domains such as housing, health, substance use, employment, finances, and social support. It is used to inform individualized reentry planning and connect individuals to appropriate services while keeping responses separate from custody records.

Who might use it

This assessment is intended for use by jail reentry staff, case managers, peer navigators, and service providers working with individuals preparing for release. It is completed by incarcerated individuals, often with staff support, to guide coordinated care and transition planning.

How to use it

The assessment should be administered prior to release, either self-completed or facilitated by staff, to systematically gather information across all reentry domains. Staff then use the responses to develop individualized reentry plans, prioritize referrals, and coordinate services that address identified needs and goals.
