Doors

Founded in 2010, the Unlocking DOORS Texas Reentry Network (Unlocking DOORS, Inc. dba DOORS) ("Unlocking DOORS") is a comprehensive statewide diversion and reentry brokerage network that is committed to reducing crime and the ever-escalating fiscal impact to the State of Texas and its communities through coordinated collaboration, partnership, public awareness, reporting of evidence-based data and predictive trends, education, and training. Unlocking DOORS, through its unique and nationally unduplicated "Reentry Brokerage/Predictive Trends" Model, and its coordinated and collaborative partnerships with numerous statewide agencies/community service providers and organizations (130 and counting), is building and routinizing the community-based reentry platform for Texas that will provide for a smooth and seamless transition into society for all individuals with criminal backgrounds - whether coming directly from incarceration (TDCJ, BOP, etc.) OR already residing within the community (both supervised and unsupervised).

Unlocking DOORS seeks to reduce recidivism rates among the clients served by the Unlocking DOORS unique service model, when compared to a similar cohort group of previously incarcerated people who have not utilized the Unlocking DOORS program upon their reentry into the community. The goal of Unlocking DOORS is to achieve at least a 20% decrease in repeat crimes (recidivism) among clients, which translates to no more than 26% of clients re-offending (compared to the current recidivism rate of 32%) within a three-year period following release.
