The Coalition is guided by a set of core values, defining our essential frameworks that focus our Vision and test our Mission.

Effective Collaboration: Members recognize the importance of working together to ensure the timely and effective delivery of services, maximizing the utility of available resources. We further recognize that this is a task no one organization could do on its own – our coalition is reliant on and must collaborate with a wide range of service providers, employers, the courts, law enforcement, probation, corrections officers, treatment providers, and social services in order to be successful.

Accountability: Coalition members strive to instill in reentrants personal accountability by modelling it ourselves. We will remain accountable to ourselves, grant holders, and reentrants through self-sufficiency and the regular evaluation of the efficacy & effectiveness of our evidence-based systems. We hold ourselves accountable for both quality of care and continuity of care.

Safety: Members are dedicated to increasing safety in our community by working to reduce recidivism, which will mean a reduction in crime as well as victims. Ultimately, ensuring the success of reentrants also means ensuring safer communities.

Interdependence: The coalition recognizes & values the unique skillsets and perspectives each member brings to the table. Members will work together as a team, supporting each other and engaging with each other through positive and constructive interactions, such that everyone feels engaged and invested in the process.

Empathy & Understanding: Reentry is focused on ensuring that each reentrant gets a fair chance to successfully reintegrate into their community and culture. We will approach each and every case from a standpoint of empathy & understanding; our role is not to judge and each case will be treated as unique with its own situated struggles and barriers to overcome.
