              This report documents the work of the Multi-site Evaluation of the Federal Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI), and is the final report of a preliminary assessment of all 69 sites funded under SVORI offering both a program overview and program details by State.
Abstract
              The Federal Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) is a collaborative Federal effort to improve outcomes for adults and juveniles returning to communities from correctional facilities. The goal of SVORI is to reduce the likelihood of reincarceration by providing tailored supervision and services to improve the odds for a successful transition to the community. This National Portrait of SVORI is the first in a series of publications documenting the work of the Multi-site Evaluation of SVORI. It offers an assessment of all 69 sites funded under SVORI. The report is intended to engage and inform local SVORI programs, practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and the Federal partners. The first section of the report provides the background and context behind the impetus for improving reentry outcomes. The second section provides an overview of the SVORI Multi-site Evaluation, including data collection plans and forthcoming topical reports. Section 3 provides an overview of how sites are structuring the reentry programs funded under this Initiative and describes the patterns and commonalities across sites. The fourth and final section concludes the report with detailed information, by grantee, on the SVORI efforts in jurisdictions across the United States.
