Reducing Recidivism Through Pay for Success: How Louisiana Got Started with Outcomes-Based Contracting
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, January 31, 2023
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Session Type: Workshop
Recovery housing and permanent supportive housing have shown promise in reducing recidivism, addressing substance use disorders, and improving mental health—outcomes critical to the broader APPA community. This promise creates an opportunity to develop and deploy outcomes-based contracts that link funding to results. This discussion will highlight insights from both Louisiana’s Department of Public Safety & Corrections and the Hamilton County (TN) Sheriff's Office as they design and implement outcomes-based contracts that aim to reduce recidivism as part of the federal Second Chance Act. Louisiana and Hamilton County have undertaken contract design processes tailored to the communities they serve, offering two perspectives on how a “Pay for Success” contract can be structured and implemented in jurisdictions across the country.
