Re-Integration of Ex-Offenders (RExO) Program

Intervention (standard name)

Twenty-four grantees offered the RExO program, including national nonprofits, faith-based community organizations, community health organizations, and local or regional nonprofits. The exact bundle of services each grantee provided varied significantly. In all programs, case managers coordinated service delivery and supported participants. Most grantees offered group mentoring for participants, and a smaller subset offered individual mentoring.

Community-Based Rapid Rehousing (CBRR)

Intervention (standard name)

CBRR provided families with immediate temporary housing and rental assistance. Most families also received services while in temporary housing, which helped them search for permanent housing. These services included assistance with upfront moving costs, limited case management, and housing search assistance and placement. Families were eligible for CBRR for up to 18 months, but most received 7 to 8 months of assistance. Families were eligible for CBRR if they had spent a week or longer in an emergency homeless shelter and had a child age 15 or younger.

Accelerated Training for Illinois Manufacturing (ATIM) Program

ATIM case managers helped participants develop training plans to help them achieve their employment and career advancement goals. ATIM provided access to trainings, including basic skills training, occupational training focused on manufacturing and safety, and on-the-job training. Manufacturing safety training modules lasted 1 to 12 weeks, and participants could receive on-the-job training during internships lasting about 3 to 4 weeks. On average, participants completed the program in five months.

Project-Based Transitional Housing (PBTH) (as compared with Permanent Housing Subsidy [SUB])

Eligible families had spent at least one week in an emergency homeless shelter, had at least one child age 15 or younger, and had sufficient income to pay their share of rent or had the ability to seek employment. They received subsidized housing in agency-controlled housing units, along with intensive case management. Families paid 30 percent of their unadjusted monthly income toward housing costs.

Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) 2.0

HPOG aimed to prepare participants for careers in health care occupations that paid well and were expected to experience labor shortages or increased demand. HPOG 2.0 refers to the second round of five-year HPOG grants that the Administration for Children and Families awarded in 2010. HPOG 2.0 used a career pathways framework with three core components: basic skills training, health care occupational training, and wraparound supports and services. Local HPOG 2.0 programs varied in how they implemented the career pathways framework.
