Pathway Home Evaluation Brief: 2021 Grants at a Glance

In 2020, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) funded Mathematica and partner Social Policy Research Associates to design and conduct an evaluation of the Pathway Home grants. This brief focuses on the 22 Pathway Home grants awarded in 2021 and describes the grantees’ experiences during their first year of implementation.

This brief is part one in a series of three briefs describing the Pathway Home grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) in 2021, with a focus on grantees’ six-month planning period and first year of enrollment. The brief discusses the grants and describes the types of organizations funded, their locations, staffing structures, partnerships, and the services provided. Other briefs in the series will describe the grantees’ experiences implementing their programs inside and outside correctional facilities during the same period. Throughout the brief we refer to services provided inside correctional facilities as pre-release services, and those provided outside of correctional facilities as post-release services.
