Programs and Services

WHO WE SERVE

Individuals in all five boroughs of New York City who are: 1) released on their own recognizance (ROR) or out on bail with a pending case and 2) have had any prior court or justice system involvement.  Services will be provided pre-trial, during the pendency of the case, and for any time after a court disposition.

 

PROGRAM DESIGN AND SERVICES OFFERED

The main strategy of the ROR Program is to provide voluntary, person-centered case management that consists of the following services:

 

    • Full psychosocial assessment to assess any service needs
    • Assistance with referrals to community-based service providers including housing-related issues; entitlements; employment searches; substance abuse; mental health and any other appropriate case management support 
    • Weekly check-in and wellness calls
    • Court reminders
    • In-person court date check-in visits
    • Food vouchers and OMNY cards
    • Emergency / critical needs kits

 

All staff members are certified case managers who have experience in risk-need responsivity principles and trauma-informed care training. The referring party will receive regular progress updates from the Liberty Fund case manager.
