LOUISIANA PRISONER RE-ENTRY INITIATIVE (LAPRI) COLLABORATIVE:LOUISIANA HAS REPORTED THE HIGHEST INCARCERATION RATE IN THE U.S. PER CAPITA FOR SEVERAL DECADES. RECENT EFFORTS MADE BY THE LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY & CORRECTIONS (DPS&C) TO IMPROVE PRISONER REENTRY POLICIES AND PRACTICES HAVE CAUSED THIS RATE TO REDUCE DRASTICALLY IN THE PAST. WHILE THERE HAS BEEN A REDUCTION IN INCARCERATION RATES, EACH YEAR, APPROXIMATELY 18,000 PEOPLE ARE RELEASED FROM STATE PRISONS AND JAILS TO COMMUNITIES ACROSS LOUISIANA. THE FIVE-YEAR RECIDIVISM RATE FOR OFFENDERS DISCHARGING FROM THE CUSTODY THE DPS&C IS 38.7%. UNFORTUNATELY, JEFFERSON AND ST. TAMMANY PARISH ARE IN THE TOP TIER OF PARISHES WITH THE HIGHEST RECIDIVISM RATES. THE LOUISIANA PRISONER REENTRY INITIATIVE (LAPRI) WAS IMPLEMENTED TO COMBAT THESE RECIDIVISM RATES. LAPRI UTILIZES A COMPREHENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT APPROACH THAT SUPPORTS MODERATE TO HIGH-RISK JUSTICE INVOLVED CITIZENS FROM THE FACILITY AND BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. IT REDUCES THE RECIDIVISM RATE OF JUSTICE INVOLVED CITIZENS BY ADDRESSING THE THREE FACTORS THAT CAUSE RECIDIVISM:- A LACK OF PRERELEASE PREPARATION TO CONNECT PRISONERS TO MUCH NEEDED SERVICES- POST-RELEASE SERVICES THAT DO NOT ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF PRISONERS ASSESSED WITH A MODERATE TO HIGH RISK OF FAILURE IN A TIMELY AND COMPREHENSIVE MANNER- THE GAPS IN SERVICES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED USING THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTLAPRI IS BASED ON IMPLEMENTING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE IN COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS: THE PRINCIPLES OF EFFECTIVE INTERVENTION (2004, BOGUE, ET AL) AND REPORT OF THE NATIONAL REENTRY POLICY COUNCIL (2002, COUNCIL OF STATE GOVERNMENTS). LAPRI IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED MODEL OF STATE/LOCAL PARTNERSHIP FOCUSED ON THE ENGAGEMENT OF COMMUNITIES SO THEY "OWN" PRISONER REENTRY AND WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH DPSC. SINCE 2018, COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WITH FUNDING FROM THE JEFFERSON PARISH COUNCIL (JPC), UNITED WAY OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA (UWSELA), DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE'S OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS (DOJ) AND THE DPS&C HAVE IMPLEMENTED LAPRI PROGRAMMATIC (REENTRY) SERVICES. LAPRI PROGRAMMATIC PARTNERS INCLUDE CATHOLIC CHARITIES ARCHDIOCESE OF NEW ORLEANS (CCANO), STUART H. SMITH LAW CLINIC AT LOYOLA UNIVERSITY NEW ORLEANS (LOYOLA LAW CLINIC), ST. TAMMANY PROBATION AND PAROLE, JEFFERSON PARISH PROBATION AND PAROLE, SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA LEGAL SERVICES (SLLS), TRI-PARISH WORKS AND TREPWISE STRATEGIC CONSULTING. THE GOALS OF LAPRI ARE:- REDUCE RECIDIVISM BY DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A COC THAT ENHANCES AND EXPANDS COMMUNITY REENTRY RESOURCES, INCLUDING HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT, TRANSPORTATION, HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, AND OTHER WRAPAROUND SERVICES.- FACILITATE AND SUPPORT PARTNERSHIPS THAT INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY AND COORDINATION OF REENTRY RESOURCES BY IMPROVING ACCESS TO SERVICES AND PROGRAMS.- DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY STRATEGY THAT ENCOURAGES THE COLLABORATION OF MULTIPLE ENTITIES THAT ENHANCE AND SUSTAIN THE CONTINUITY OF SERVICES.DPS&C REPORTS THAT 14.8% OF INDIVIDUALS RETURN TO INCARCERATION WITHIN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF RELEASE. OVER THE PAST YEAR, LAPRI HAS HAD A 4.1% RECIDIVISM RATE AMONG ITS PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. PARTICIPANTS FACE CONSIDERABLE CHALLENGES IN OBTAINING STABLE EMPLOYMENT, FOOD INSECURITY, ACQUIRING A STABLE INCOME, AND SECURING RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. DURING THE PERIOD OF JULY 1, 2024 -JUNE 30, 2025, 137 INDIVIDUALS WERE PROVIDED WITH APPROXIMATELY 3,630 SERVICES. PARTICIPANTS HAD ACCESS TO A RANGE OF SERVICES, INCLUDING COMPREHENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT, LEGAL SERVICES, POST-RELEASE SUPERVISION, BENEFITS ENROLLMENT (SNAP, SSDI. MEDICAID, ETC.)

APPROXIMATELY $54,541.61 WAS SPENT ON INDIVIDUAL DIRECT SERVICES FOR CLIENTS. IMPROVEMENTS IN LIFE AREAS AMONG PARTICIPANTS SHOWED PROGRESS ACROSS ALL CATEGORIES, WITH THE LARGEST IMPROVEMENTS COMING IN INCOME, AT 49%.- EMPLOYMENT: AVERAGE BASELINE SCORE 1.39, AVERAGE FOLLOW-UP SCORE 1.83, PERCENT CHANGE 32%- FOOD: AVERAGE BASELINE SCORE 1.80, AVERAGE FOLLOW-UP SCORE 2.42, PERCENT CHANGE 34%- HEALTH CARE COVERAGE: AVERAGE BASELINE SCORE 2.11, AVERAGE FOLLOW-UP SCORE 2.59, PERCENT CHANGE 23%- HOUSING: AVERAGE BASELINE SCORE 2.08, AVERAGE FOLLOW-UP SCORE 2.79, PERCENT CHANGE 34%- INCOME: AVERAGE BASELINE SCORE 1.50, AVERAGE FOLLOW-UP SCORE 2.24, PERCENT CHANGE 49%- LEGAL: AVERAGE BASELINE SCORE 2.99, AVERAGE FOLLOW-UP SCORE 3.95, PERCENT CHANGE 32%- SAFETY: AVERAGE BASELINE SCORE 2.83, AVERAGE FOLLOW-UP SCORE 3.80, PERCENT CHANGE 34%- TRANSPORTATION: AVERAGE BASELINE SCORE 1.73, AVERAGE FOLLOW-UP SCORE 2.33, PERCENT CHANGE 35%- SUBSTANCE ABUSE (DRUGS/ALCOHOL) : AVERAGE BASELINE SCORE 4.06, AVERAGE FOLLOW-UP SCORE 4.29, PERCENT CHANGE 6%LAPRI HAS DEVELOPED AND BEGAN IMPLEMENTING A COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY REENTRY PLAN (CCRP) IN JEFFERSON PARISH. THE CCRP SERVES AS A COMMUNITY STRATEGY TO REDUCE RECIDIVISM AND CREATE A CONTINUUM OF CARE THAT SUPPORTS THE SUCCESSFUL REINTEGRATION OF JUSTICE INVOLVED CITIZENS BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. ONE OF THE CCRP'S PRIORITIES IS TO CHANGE PUBLIC PERCEPTION AND INCREASE VISIBILITY OF THE INITIATIVE'S WORK IN THE REENTRY SPACE. IN-PERSON COMMUNITY FORUMS WERE HELD TO FACILITATE THE REBRANDING PROCESS. THE NEW NAME SELECTED FOR LAPRI IS RETURN AN ACRONYM WHICH MEANS (RESTORATION & EMPOWERMENT THROUGH UNITED REENTRY NETWORKS).THE DOJ AWARDED $1,000,000 TO SUPPORT LAPRI IN JEFFERSON PARISH. FUNDING IS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2025. LAPRI IS REQUESTING A NO COST EXTENSION OF THE DOJ GRANT THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2026. THIS WILL ALLOW LAPRI TO ENSURE WE EXPEND THE FUNDS AND MEET THE DELIVERABLES OF THE GRANT. THE DPS&C FY25 COMMUNITY INCENTIVE PROGRAM (CIG) AWARDED $1.2 MILLION TO UWSELA TO SUPPORT LAPRI IN ST. TAMMANY AND JEFFERSON PARISH. THE FUNDING WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE REENTRY SERVICES IN ST. TAMMANY AND JEFFERSON PARISH FOR 3 YEARS. FUNDING WILL BE DISBURSED 2025-2028.

THIS INCLUDES ENGAGING EDUCATORS, DEVELOPING RESOURCES, AND ALIGNING INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES ACROSS EARLY CHILDHOOD AND ELEMENTARY SYSTEMS.PROGRESS TOWARD OUR VISION:THE CAMPAIGN SAW SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATION IN READING PROFICIENCY DUE TO CONCENTRATED EFFORTS, THOUGH CHALLENGING TARGETS IN EARLY EDUCATION ACCESS AND SCHOOL ATTENDANCE REMAIN AREAS FOR INTENSIVE FOCUS.1. SCHOOL READINESSTHE GOAL WAS TO ENSURE 80% OF CHILDREN ENTERED KINDERGARTEN READY AND TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF UNSERVED AT-RISK CHILDREN (AGES 04) FROM 8,679 TO 5,500.- STATUS: SIGNIFICANT GAP REMAINS. WHILE THE CAMPAIGN AND ITS PARTNERS INTENSIFIED EFFORTS TO ENROLL CHILDREN IN HIGH-QUALITY SEATS, THE MOST RECENT AVAILABLE DATA (FALL 2024) SHOWS THAT THE PERCENTAGE OF KINDERGARTENERS MEETING OR EXCEEDING READINESS STANDARDS REMAINS LOW, NEAR THE STATE'S AVERAGE OF 28.4%. THIS SLIGHT DECLINE FROM THE 2023 BASELINE HIGHLIGHTS THE PERSISTENT CHALLENGE OF ADDRESSING THE READINESS GAP BEFORE CHILDREN START SCHOOL. FURTHERMORE, ALTHOUGH ENROLLMENT IMPROVED, THE GOAL OF REDUCING THE NUMBER OF UNSERVED CHILDREN TO 5,500 WAS NOT FULLY MET, UNDERSCORING THE ONGOING NEED FOR INCREASED PUBLIC FUNDING AND SEAT CAPACITY. 2. CHRONIC ABSENTEEISMTHE GOAL WAS TO REDUCE CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM AMONG PRE-K THROUGH THIRD GRADE STUDENTS FROM THE 2023 BASELINE OF 28.6% TO BELOW 10% BY THE END OF 2024.- STATUS: MODERATE IMPROVEMENT, BUT FAR FROM GOAL. DATA FROM THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR INDICATES THAT CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM IN NEW ORLEANS HAS BEGUN TO DECREASE FROM ITS PANDEMIC-ERA PEAK, FOLLOWING STATEWIDE TRENDS. HOWEVER, THE RATE FOR ELEMENTARY GRADES REMAINS STUBBORNLY HIGH, ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND 31.7% FOR PREK-5 IN ORLEANS PARISH. WHILE THE DECLINE SHOWS THAT ATTENDANCE STRATEGIES (SUCH AS COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND PROVIDING SOCIAL SUPPORTS) ARE STARTING TO TAKE EFFECT, THE CAMPAIGN DID NOT MEET THE AMBITIOUS 10% TARGET, EMPHASIZING THAT ABSENTEEISM REMAINS A PROFOUND BARRIER TO LITERACY.3. SUMMER LEARNINGTHE GOAL WAS TO REACH 2,000 MORE LOW-INCOME CHILDREN WITH HIGH-QUALITY SUMMER PROGRAMMING IN 2024, BUILDING ON THE 3,300 SERVED SINCE 2017 THROUGH THE KAY FENNELLY LITERACY INSTITUTE.- STATUS: GOAL SUCCESSFULLY MET/EXCEEDED. THE COLLABORATIVE NETWORK SUCCESSFULLY LEVERAGED RESOURCES AND PARTNERSHIPS OVER THE SUMMER OF 2024 TO PROVIDE EXPANDED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. PRELIMINARY REPORTS CONFIRM THAT THE CAMPAIGN MET OR LIKELY EXCEEDED THE GOAL OF REACHING 2,000 ADDITIONAL CHILDREN, A CRITICAL SUCCESS IN COMBATING SUMMER LEARNING LOSS AND SETTING THOSE STUDENTS UP FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR.4. THIRD GRADE READING PROFICIENCYTHE GOAL WAS TO MORE THAN DOUBLE THE 2023 PROFICIENCY RATE OF 31%, REACHING 70% BY THE END OF 2024.- STATUS: SUBSTANTIAL ACCELERATION, YET SHORT OF TARGET. THIS PILLAR SAW THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS. END-OF-YEAR RESULTS FROM THE STATE'S K-3 LITERACY SCREENER (SPRING 2025 DATA REFLECTING 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR INSTRUCTION) SHOW THAT THE PROFICIENCY RATE FOR THIRD GRADERS ROSE DRAMATICALLY TO APPROXIMATELY 62%. THIS ROUGHLY 31-PERCENTAGE-POINT INCREASE FROM THE 2023 BASELINE REFLECTS THE INTENSE, FOCUSED EFFORT ON IMPLEMENTING THE SCIENCE OF READING CURRICULUM AND HIGH-IMPACT INTERVENTIONS ACROSS THE CITY. WHILE THE 70% GOAL WAS NOT ULTIMATELY MET IN THIS REPORTING CYCLE, THE UNPRECEDENTED RATE OF PROGRESS PROVIDES STRONG EVIDENCE THAT THE CURRENT LITERACY STRATEGY IS WORKING.REVISED STRATEGIC DIRECTION: TO ACCELERATE PROGRESS, WE ARE IMPLEMENTING FOUR KEY STRATEGIES:- AWARENESS & ADVOCACY - INCREASE AWARENESS AND COORDINATED ACTION THROUGH A DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN THAT ENGAGES MEDIA, PARTNERS, AND COMMUNITY INFLUENCERS.- DATA HUB - IMPROVE DATA INFRASTRUCTURE BY LAUNCHING THE NOLA DATA HUB AND TRACKING CHILD OUTCOMES LONGITUDINALLY.- HOSPITALITY & FIRST RESPONDERS CHILD CARE CONSORTIUM - DEEPEN COORDINATED ENGAGEMENT THROUGH FORMALIZED STEERING COMMITTEES, WORKING GROUPS, AND TARGETED PUBLIC AWARENESS EFFORTS.- LONGITUDINAL STUDY - ADVANCE PUBLIC POLICY BY EXPLORING A STATEWIDE GRADE-LEVEL READING NETWORK AND ADVOCATING FOR POLICIES THAT CONNECT PUBLIC INVESTMENT TO CHILD SUCCESS.- EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES & TOOLKITDOLLY PARTON IMAGINATION LIBRARY:MISSION: TO INSPIRE A LOVE OF READING IN CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE FIVE BY PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY, AGE-APPROPRIATE BOOKS EACH MONTH.UNITED WAY OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA LAUNCHED DOLLY PARTON'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY IN 2013, MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF A COMMUNITYWIDE COALITION OF INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, GOVERNMENT, AND LITERACY PROFESSIONALS.
