About the Program
UCSD RELINK is a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered warm hand-off service navigation program that seeks to: 1) increase stability by addressing basic needs, 2) improve education and employment outcomes, and 3) increase access to physical and mental health care among San Diego adults who have ever been incarcerated in CA State Prison.
The program serves reentrants living in three underserved regions of San Diego County (Central, South, and East County) by using evidence-based approaches to tackle reentrants’ basic, vocational and health needs through service navigation, warm-handoffs to community providers, and skill-building mentorship to enhance pro-social behaviors.
The UCSD RELINK Program complies with public health COVID-19 guidelines and thus delivers services in-person and remotely (i.e., by phone, text, email, video-chat); this hybrid approach reduces transportation barriers and supports participation.
All services are funded through a grant from the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) through the Adult Reentry Grant Program (ARG) Warm Handoff Reentry Services.
