PCCD and OAG are seeking input from reentry stakeholders to shape this strategic planning process. The deadline to complete the survey to provide your feedback is October 30, 2026. The survey is open to anyone - individuals and/or family members with lived reentry experience, system professionals, behavioral health and SUD professionals, and community stakeholders. PLEASE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE YOUR VOICE- IT MATTERS!
