Impact Bond: Illinois Dually-Involved Youth Pay for Success Initiative
Stage of development: Implementation
Policy sector: Criminal justice
Intervention:  Since dually-involved youth interact with multiple government systems and have unique personal challenges, this initiative aims to improve outcomes by changing both systems behavior and child and family behavior. Services providers and commissioner will collaborate with juvenile courts/probation to develop a system of care that provides rapid identification, comprehensive and collaborative case coordination, and increased access to proven clinical programs for dually-involved youth. The service provider will implement the Crossover Youth Practice Model (CYPM), a set of proven practices developed by the CJJR at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy. Through this model, the service provider will offer an array of therapeutic interventions including high-fidelity wraparound services, TFCO, BSFT, ARC, SPARCS, and a variety of non-traditional therapies to help youth transition to adulthood, develop a positive support team for the youth, and thus prevent future criminal behavior.
