Structured case management for individuals reentering the community in Palm Beach County — weekly check-ins across housing, employment, sobriety, family, and benefits, designed to reduce recidivism through coordinated supervision and warm hand-offs.
Program Scope
Sunshine Pathways Foundation's Reentry Case Management program serves individuals with a justice-system connection across Palm Beach County, FL — coordinating weekly case-manager check-ins, supervision checkpoints, and warm hand-offs between the county jail (PBSO), state prison (FL DOC), the federal BOP, and partner reentry programs.
Each participant meets their assigned case manager for a structured weekly check-in covering housing, employment, sobriety, family, and benefits domains.
Housing stability, employment trajectory, sobriety and recovery support, and family/benefits navigation coordinated inside a single individualized case plan.
Within 24 hours of referral, the intake coordinator confirms receipt, assigns a case manager, and schedules the initial screening.
Reentry Case Management is the connective tissue of SPF's community-based reentry work — coordinating supervision checkpoints, employment and benefits navigation, family reintegration, and warm hand-offs to housing so that no client falls through the seams between county jail release and a stable first 90 days.
Intake is open to anyone with a justice-system connection in Palm Beach County, FL — regardless of whether they enter SPF's housing programs. Referrals come directly from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) pretrial/release unit, Florida Department of Corrections (FL DOC) transition coordinators, federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) community programs, Circuit 15 probation and parole officers, the FL-15 AND-1 drug court, and partner reentry programs; self-referrals are welcomed via /contact.
Eligibility
The reentry case-management cohort is defined by a justice-system connection in Palm Beach County and a demonstrated willingness to engage with structured weekly check-ins. Eligibility is determined at referral — not all applicants are accepted, and case-management openings depend on current case-manager caseload capacity.
Active or recent connection to county jail (PBSO), state prison (FL DOC), federal incarceration (BOP), or community supervision (probation, parole, FL-15 AND-1 drug court) within Palm Beach County.
Release date and supervising officer (probation, parole, pretrial) documented at referral; the assigned case manager coordinates directly with the supervising authority to align case-plan milestones.
Commitment to weekly structured case-manager check-ins covering housing, employment, sobriety, family reintegration, and benefits navigation.
Plan to reside, or willingness to re-settle, within Palm Beach County, FL for the duration of case-management engagement. Geographic scope is Palm Beach County only.
Agencies with an urgent case-management need — immediate post-release coordination, supervision escalation, or imminent housing risk — should contact us directly rather than submit through the standard referral form.
Intake Flow
Once a referral is received, the program's intake coordinator moves through a structured flow with target turnaround times at each stage.
Partner agency, supervision officer, or self-referral submitted with urgency, client info, and referrer contact through the partner portal, /contact, or /volunteer.
Within 24 hours the intake coordinator reviews population fit and case-manager caseload, assigns a case manager, and confirms engagement back to the referrer.
Phone or in-person assessment covering supervision status, housing stability, employment trajectory, sobriety, and case-management goals — assessed against the program's population criteria.
Individualized case plan finalized within the first week; weekly case-manager check-ins, milestone tracking, and warm hand-offs to housing or partner programs begin on day one.
