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. false false 721924 53977 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. 145177 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. 113720 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. 980821 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 13 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X CHRISTINA MELTON CRAIN 2142158152 12225 GREENVILLE AVENUE STE 850 DALLAS TX 75243 Christina Melton Crain Founder and President/CEO 50.0 0.0 X 215752 0 10407 SUZANNE LA RASH CFO 40.0 0.0 X 132858 0 0 HONORABLE TENA CALLAHAN Chairman 1.5 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Waseem Ahmed MD Director 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Tom Fordyce SECRETARY 1.5 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Patrick Jones Director 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 HONORABLE JERRY MADDEN VICE CHAIRMAN 1.5 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Milla Perry Jones Director 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 John Moriarty Director 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 Sandy Melton Stephens Director 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 JODIE L JILES TREASURER 1.5 0.0 X X 0 0 0 WILLIAM BILL MAHOMES JR DIRECTOR 1.5 0.0 X 0 0 0 348610 0 10407 2 false true false 0 940396 1227211 2167607 REENTRY BROKERAGE SERVICES 900099 53977 53977 53977 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2221584 53977 0 0 0 0 365500 139511 190936 35053 0 474351 474351 0 50771 47024 2342 1405 66349 50118 14182 2049 0 8103 8103 13931 11841 2090 0 0 0 23893 6495 6954 10444 0 79516 43361 2276 33879 47837 41565 6251 21 0 125174 106449 12872 5853 3750 3750 0 0 0 0 3576 2681 895 17282 14690 2592 DATA MANAGEMENT & REPORTING 32573 32573 COMMUNITY COLLABORATION 6412 6412 1319018 980821 249493 88704 612635 773004 0 0 494819 1227310 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15060 13740 17879 3576 17879 14303 0 0 0 0 0 0 10269 10269 632745 536585 1783407 2575211 158972 136912 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 543560 454858 702532 591770 X 524344 717687 556531 1265754 1080875 1983441 1783407 2575211 902566 X false true X true true true X 1157932 2395006 1295084 1267432 2167607 8283061 0 0 1157932 2395006 1295084 1267432 2167607 8283061 380662 7902399 0 0 12900 12900 8295961 143572 0.95256 0.97568 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 17879 3576 14303 14303 OTHER ASSETS 9439 RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET 527146 536585 0 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY - LO 454858 454858 X 2253648 32064 32064 2221584 2221584 1351082 32064 32064 1319018 1319018 Fin 48 footnote Sch D PART X LINE 2: Unlocking Doors is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, except to the extent it has unrelated business income.
