Dear [NAME OF SITE ADMINISTRATOR/DIRECTOR],
We are writing to request your participation in a survey as part of the Evaluation of the Reentry Employment Opportunities (REO) Program, sponsored by the US Department of Labor (DOL). The study is being jointly conducted by researchers from Mathematica Policy Research and Social Policy Research Associates. One component of the evaluation is an implementation study to describe the REO grants, including their organization, administration and management, services, participants served; and common successes and challenges. The findings from the implementation study will enable both policymakers and practitioners to learn how to improve service provision for individuals who are involved in the criminal justice system.
As part of the implementation study, we are conducting a survey of REO grant funded programs. The survey asks questions about topics such as the organizational and administrative structure of your program, program features, partnerships, and challenges and successes. We expect the survey will take about 20 minutes to complete, give or take, depending on the complexity of your program. You may ask others to help you complete the survey as needed. The information you provide will be used for research purposes only. Your name and the name of your program will not be connected in any public document to any responses you provide.
As a recipient of an REO grant, you agreed to participate in a study of the REO program. We respectfully ask that you please complete this survey within the next two weeks as it is a very important part of the study. The information you provide will inform the federal government’s investments in similar efforts in the future.
