Reintegration Support Network <br /> enlist support for the program; schedules and makes presentations to the same; <br /> recruits individuals to become volunteer support circle members (mentors); gathers <br /> and processes volunteer applications; maintains communication and provides updates <br /> to individuals and organizations. <br /> h) Describe the specific period over which the activities will be carried out and include an <br /> implementation timeline. <br /> RSN is an ongoing initiative and activities will occur continuously over the period of <br /> the grant/funding. <br /> i) Why is funding this program a good investment for the community? How does funding this <br /> program add value to the community? (250 words OR LESS) <br /> RSN is modeled after international programs that lower long-term costs through use <br /> of community partnerships and volunteers. RSN will gather evidence that <br /> demonstrates that its local aftercare program encourages effective recovery <br /> transitions. In turn, these changes are known to reduce recidivism, JJ involvement and <br /> social and monetary costs to the community. Just as important, RSN works to <br /> reintegrate youth who are often a marginalized and isolated part of our community. <br /> j) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced <br /> allocation is recommended. <br /> RSN has, and will seek other sources of funding. If RSN is not funded by the towns <br /> and county it will continue operations in a more limited way than would be possible with <br /> these funds. However, the program also needs a demonstration that our communities <br /> and their leaders are invested in our youth, even those who have experienced <br /> substance abuse, like so many others, but have, through no fault of their own, <br /> succumbed to the disease of addiction. When youth are unable to sustain their <br /> recovery our communities pay not only monetarily but in many other ways. <br /> k) Include any other pertinent information. <br /> DO NOT SUBMIT THIS PAGE 1/31/2017 12:37:26 PM Page 31 of 45 <br />
