Description
ProsperOK Background: Incarceration and economic hardship does not only affect people behind bars and those close to them. It has a statewide ripple effect in limiting our communities’ potential, widening racial and economic disparities and perpetuating intergenerational cycles of poverty. Building a more equitable and prosperous Oklahoma requires transformative changes in the way we collectively design and implement policies and practices, make decisions and think and speak about crime and safety.
In 2021, The Justice and Mobility Fund partnered with the George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF) to launch ProsperOK. ProsperOK accelerates economic mobility, reduces incarceration and bolsters community safety by uplifting people and removing barriers in the criminal legal system. ProsperOK envisions an Oklahoma that cares more than it confines; prevents and rehabilitates more than it punishes; and empowers communities to pursue solutions that increase economic opportunity and transform power systems. ProsperOK is supporting a new initiative in Tulsa called JusticeLink.
JusticeLink: The nearly 16,000 Tulsans released from jail each year face critical barriers to accessing care, housing, work and other services essential to getting back on their feet. Re-arrest and recidivism are common, as nearly 40% of all Tulsa County jail admissions represent people arrested multiple times in the year. Coordination and navigation challenges in Tulsa contribute to this problem as there are currently no standards for coordination between agencies and nonprofits.
Tulsa is establishing a new diversion services center, JusticeLink, that acts as a collaborative, multi-agency network in a single location (with a front-door at the Tulsa County Courthouse) dedicated to providing coordinated, life-stabilizing services to justice-involved people navigating the criminal legal system.
Key features of JusticeLink would include:
Position Summary:
The Resource Navigator will play a key role in advancing the goals of ProsperOK and realizing the potential of justice-involved individuals and their families. Resource Navigators will provide personalized, ongoing support to connect individuals in the criminal-legal system to desired programs and services that address the causes of their justice involvement, reduce future interactions with the criminal legal system, and improve their economic stability.
The Resource Navigator will manage a monthly caseload and will be primarily responsible for contacting individuals with active Tulsa County criminal-legal cases to promote their awareness of and enrollment in JusticeLink. The Resource Navigator will engage individuals and build trusting relationships to ensure that they and their dependents are connected to relevant and appropriate resources. Resource Navigators will work closely with Justice Navigators to ensure case plans and resources accessed are shared with the courts.
