The focus will be on those being released from San Quentin State Prison, the California Medical Facility in Vacaville, and the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla. Enrollment priority will be given to eligible clients who are low income and underinsured, and clients who are at risk for becoming homeless upon release and who lack a stable support network outside of the prison. Springboard is a collaboration made up of Continuum HIV Day Services, Centerforce and Free at Last.
Continuum is the lead agency and fiscal agent.
TLC peer advocates and other staff who have personal experience with the prison system, joined by the TCMs, will participate in the Health Fairs that are regularly conducted by Centerforce, and use these events as opportunities to provide information about Springboard. Similarly, Free at Last staff will use their regular activities at the prisons to dispense information about the program. The TCM will conduct additional outreach during monthly visits to prisons. Transitional Case Management Case management services will be highly structured in order to maximize the limited time available, and will be delivered in a client-centered fashion. In partnership with the client, the case manager will develop individual care plans based on the assessment.
