Jail Reentry Statement of Work and Client Needs Assessment | Grays Harbor County, WA
This document sets out the roles of the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office and Coastal Community Action Program (CCAP) in a jail reentry program for people with a substance use disorder. Jail case management staff must refer eligible people to CCAP within 72 hours, and CCAP must complete a needs assessment and start a service plan within three business days, then keep working with clients after release. The document also sets eligibility rules for rental assistance and for clothing and hygiene purchases, and it includes an Individual Needs Assessment Form that staff use to approve those purchases.
HOW TO USE IT
Use the statement of work as an example when you write your own contract with a provider. Its referral and assessment timelines, 72 hours for the jail and three business days for the provider, are easy to track and report. Rental assistance runs four months as a standard, a two-month extension is possible if the person stays engaged in the program, and anything past six months needs grant manager approval. The fund pays only after other sources, such as Department of Corrections (DOC) housing vouchers, have been used. The needs assessment form has staff check off specific items, record sizes, and get supervisor sign-off, and the document rules out gift cards, food, and entertainment. To adapt it, replace the agency names, timelines, covered items, and certification requirements with your own, and have your county’s legal or contracting office review the final language.
WHO MIGHT USE IT
Jail administrators, sheriff’s office grant managers, and Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (COSSUP) project directors who are writing a contract or memorandum of understanding with a community reentry provider are the main audience. Community providers negotiating their part of such an agreement can use it too, as can program staff who manage funds for housing and basic needs and need clear eligibility rules.
