Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

UNLOCKING DOORS SEEKS TO CREATE AND PROMOTE A SAFER MORE PRODUCTIVE SOCIETY BY REVOLUTIONIZING REENTRY SERVICE DELIVERY TO FORMER OFFENDERS THROUGH INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT, EDUCATION AND ENGAGEMENT. PROVIDING ASSESSMENT, NAVIGATION AND MONITORING SERVICES TO THOSE WITH CRIMINAL BACKGROUNDS THROUGH WHAT HAS BEEN TRADEMARKED AS A "REENTRY BROKERAGE" SYSTEM, UNLOCKING DOORS CONNECTS THE MULTITUDE OF REENTRY SERVICES THAT EXIST AND PROVIDES CLIENTS A HOME BASE FOR REENTRY, GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE THAT IS CRIME FREE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Unlocking DOORS seeks to create and promote a safer more productive society by revolutionizing reentry service delivery to former offenders.

  • REENTRY BROKERAGE: Provides former offenders wishing to successfully reintegrate into free society "reentry navigation services" that include client and local community empowerment and engagement in the delivery of reentry services. By empowering, educating, and engaging the client to take an active role in mapping his future, the client's outlook changes as he begins to appreciate the benefits of the Model's comprehensive and collaborative approach; he becomes personally aware of the resources (and, individuals) available and willing to assist him; thereby, making him more committed to his role in achieving success. He feels hopeful, secure, confident, happier, and healthier; increasing the likelihood that he will find a future of self-sufficiency that is crime-free. And, uniquely, once an Unlocking Doors' client, always an Unlocking Doors' client - he will have a familiar, open, and friendly place to go when the going gets tough. Through systematic and carefully coordinated collaboration and partnership with a "brokered" Community Network of 300+ (and counting) statewide agencies, organizations and providers, Unlocking Doors' model allows individuals with criminal backgrounds to transition back into the community in a positive, steady, yet comprehensive format that increases their motivation and their chances for a future of self-sufficiency that is crime free. This model consists of the following: Reentry Brokerage (Continued) . Comprehensive risk/needs assessment to determine the client's risk for reoffending, specific needs, achieved training and work history, education level, eligible benefits, etc. . Individualized Reentry Brokerage Plan compiled by the client's dedicated Unlocking Doors' Reentry Broker from all information gained during the client's assessment; the plan is "individualized" to the client's specific needs. . Referrals to one or more of Unlocking Doors' Community Network Providers, Employers and other service providers/resources (the experts in specific services and resources) to assist the client in working through the specific items addressed in his/her Individualized Reentry Brokerage Plan; and . Ongoing Monitoring and Assistance Going Forward of the client's progress as he/she works through his/her Individualized Reentry Brokerage Plan with re-brokerage and future assistance always just a phone call away. Employer Referral Program In an effort to maximize employment opportunities for clients, as well as enlist employer buy-in to strategize best hiring practices for former offenders, Unlocking Doors created the Employer Referral Program. Background- friendly employers fill out a Talent Profile with all information regarding available employment opportunities for unlimited vetted client referrals to build their workforce and assist our client base with employment.

    Expenses $721,924 · Revenue $53,977

  • TRACE DATABASE, & DATA REPORTING: Unlocking Doors collects, analyzes and reports its high value sets of evidence-based client data to stakeholders to illustrate and note predictive trends in the criminal justice arena. Although a broad spectrum of data is reported, Unlocking Doors gives primary focus to four key services without which an individual is most assuredly set to re- offend - Housing, Employment, Transportation, and Medical/Mental Health. This allows funders and policy makers to better determine areas of cost savings across the board and allows for smart and effective funding, policy, and legislative decisions when it comes to improving public safety. To Unlocking Doors, success is witnessed when a client: i. Finds sustainable employment, housing, medical/mental health treatment and transportation. ii. Makes all court-ordered and Unlocking Doors'-generated appointments; and iii. Does not have further entanglement with the law. Unlocking Doors receives funding from their board of directors, employees, volunteers, individual donors, corporations, civic groups, foundations, community events and grants from the State of Texas.

    Expenses $145,177

  • EDUCATION & COMMUNITY COLLABORATION: Believing that "local knowledge" is the most valuable tool when it comes to solving issues impacting society, Unlocking Doors' unique model relies heavily on community engagement (individuals, organizations, businesses) in effectively mapping a reentry system that will ensure reintegration success for former offenders wishing to make a fresh start with no future entanglement with the law. To that end, Unlocking Doors' scalable model educates, trains, and collaborates with all "local" stakeholders (government, corrections, law enforcement, service providers, the public, etc.) to empower the community, as a whole, in the delivery of reentry services to those former offenders reentering their specific community. Known as the "Unlocking Doors Community Network", this group, comprised of "brokered" partnerships with 300+ (and counting) community stakeholders, works directly with Unlocking Doors to provide clients the "expert local field" services and resources required to lead them to a future of success.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
