The Roca Pay for Success Pilot Program (Roca PFS Pilot) adapted an existing program focused on justice-involved youth to support men ages 17-24 who were on adult probation and aging out of foster care by connecting them to youth workers and providing individualized employment services, transitional employment, job placement, and post-employment follow up. Strong participant engagement with youth workers trained in evidence-based and clinical techniques of behavior change was a core component of the Roca PFS.

The structured cognitive behavioral interventions included CBI-Employment Adult and Moral Reconation Therapy.

The Paid Transitional Housing pilot was a reentry housing intervention that fully covered rent at transitional housing facilities for a period of 3 months, targeting male adults who were entering re-entry centers 8 weeks from their release date and at higher recidivism risk. The program aimed to improve housing stability, employment, and recidivism outcomes. All participants received existing transitional housing services at re-entry centers focused on job readiness. Other voluntary services offered included classes on mental health, parenting, and financial management.

Minnesota Vocational Education for Incarcerated People was provided to individuals incarcerated in state department of corrections facilities who have a high school diploma or GED and included certified vocational certificate programs and career and employability skills training. Available vocational education programs included barbering and cosmetology, construction, manufacturing, mechanical design and drafting, business management, and computer careers. Instructors had to be certified by the Minnesota Correctional Education Center.

During the 12-month program period, unemployed participants could earn up to 20 hours per week of wages for engaging in job-seeking activities with an employment specialist, at $10 per hour. Employed participants could receive wage supplements for verified hours worked, capped at $8 per hour for up to 40 hours per week.
