Virginia Reentry and Innovative Prevention Task Force Report

The Welfare Peer Technical Assistance Network (WPTA) offered technical assistance to the AdvoCare Conference with the primary purpose of creating a nationwide task force of organizations and agencies that can provide proven evidence-based practice plans and ideas for innovative crime prevention, prisoner reentry, and family unification using collaboration models. The Task Force's long term goal would be to ultimately provide technical assistance to others. The Welfare Peer TA Network brought together specialists from prisoner reentry, social services agencies, and judicial communities to form a task force that could solidify a process that could be used to shape a cohesive prisoner reentry program and reduce the risk for those currently receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and those who may potentially become TANF participants. The Task Force work group and sessions were held in Winchester, Virginia on July 23rd-24th, 2009.
