Breaking News - February, 2007
The Redirections Program in Pensacola received a review from the Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA). The headlines of the report to the legislature was titled “Redirections Pilots Meet and Exceed Residential Commitment Outcomes; $5.8 Million Saved.” The Redirection Program has achieved a $5.8 million cost avoidance for the state in its first two years of operation. Overall, the Redirections Program operates at a lower cost than residential delinquency programs and achieves similar outcomes. However, Redirection programs at two sites – Broward and Escambia counties – attained significantly stronger outcomes, as youth served by these programs were significantly less likely to be rearrested after treatment than similar youth released from residential commitment. These programs were rated as fully proficient in the treatment model by the provider. Below you will find a link to the full OPPAGA report.
