(1) The outcome goals of the social
impact partnership project: The Women
in Recovery (‘‘WIR’’) Pay for Success
Project seeks to demonstrate stable
employment and improved child
welfare outcomes (reduced foster care
involvement and contact with child
protection services) for the target
population.
(2) A description of each intervention
in the project: WIR is an intensive
alternative to incarceration for women
facing long-term prison sentences for
non-violent offenses. WIR is specifically
designed to address the complex needs
and risks of justice-involved women.
The program combines best practices
from the mental health and criminal
justice fields as well as the integration
of gender-specific best practices and
treatment models to reduce female
incarceration. Experienced and trained
professional staff provide an array of
intensive evidence-based treatment and
best practice comprehensive support
and wraparound services within a threephase, daily program structure. In

addition to gender-specific treatment
models, specialized program
components address issues impacting
women, including domestic violence,
trauma, self-sufficiency, family
reunification, parenting and children’s
issues.
(3) The target population that will be
served by the project: WIR targets
justice-involved females 18 years old or
older with substance use disorders, who
are prison-bound and ineligible for
other Tulsa County diversion programs.
(4) The expected social benefits to
participants who receive the
intervention and others who may be
impacted: WIR helps women conquer
drug addiction, recover from trauma and
acquire essential economic, emotional
and social tools to build successful and
productive lives, thus improving public
safety and reducing recidivism while
generating federal, state, and local
financial value. With a focus on
improving the lives of at-risk women
and their children, WIR also seeks to
break the cycle of intergenerational

incarceration by strengthening and
reuniting WIR mothers and their
children.
(5) The detailed roles, responsibilities,
and purposes of each Federal, State, or
local government entity, intermediary,
service provider, independent evaluator,
investor, or other stakeholder:
Recipient. Oklahoma is the recipient,
fiscal agent, and lead data sharing
partner in the project.
Service Provider. Family & Children’s
Services (‘‘F&CS’’) will deliver all the
services for WIR. F&CS has a mission to
promote, support and strengthen the
well-being and behavioral health of
adults, children and families. F&CS
works closely with the criminal justice
system and various community partners
to ensure program participants receive
supervision, substance abuse and
mental health treatment, comprehensive
case management, education, workforce
readiness training and family
reunification services. F&CS will
collect, store, analyze, and share
program-related data as needed for the
independent evaluation, and will be the
recipient of investor up-front capital
funding for the project. F&CS will also
be the recipient of all federal outcome
payments earned through verification by

8.2
8.3
8.4
8.5
8.6
8.7
8.8
8.9
the independent evaluation of value to
the federal government.
Investor. The George Kaiser Family
Foundation (‘‘GKFF’’) is the primary
upfront private investor for WIR. GKFF,
in conjunction with other public/private
sources, intends to provide F&CS with
the annual capital to fund the delivery
of WIR services.
Evaluator. WestEd, a nonpartisan,
nonprofit research, development, and
service agency, will serve as the external
independent evaluator for the project.
WestEd will design and implement the
evaluation, measure the impact and
value of the WIR program across all
outcome measures, report the results to
all entities of the project, and verify the
value to the federal government for the
purposes of federal outcome payments.
(6) The payment terms, the
methodology used to calculate outcome
payments, the payment schedule, and
performance thresholds: The project has
two outcome domains, employment and
child welfare, and will deliver services
to two different cohorts. If the project is
successful, four payments will be made
in total, two for each cohort. For each
cohort a payment will be made for
outcomes achieved at 18 months postenrollment and a second payment will
be made for outcomes achieved at 30
months post-enrollment. The 30-month
outcomes will only look at impact that
occurred since the 18-month time point,
as federal outcome payments will have
already been realized for impact that
occurred during the first 18 months.
Each cohort will be eligible for one
payment for each outcome domain:
Employment and child welfare. Each
outcome valuation will be conducted
independently, and the realization of
outcome payments related to one
outcome domain will not be contingent
on the results from any other outcome
domain.
For child welfare, the independent
evaluation will compare the results of
the treatment group to the results of the
comparison group and only validate a
request for outcome payments for the
level of success and federal value
achieved within the identified range.
To calculate the outcome payment for
federal value for the employment
outcome, the independent evaluator
will take the estimate of the increase in
wages from the treatment and calculate
the resulting federal value.

(9) The project eligibility criteria: All
participants are women with substance
abuse issues who are at imminent risk
for incarceration and ineligible for other
drug or mental health court and jail
diversion programs. All eligible women
receive a standardized, gender-specific
risk assessment to determine their risk,
needs and treatment readiness. WIR
then advocates and collaborates with
the local prosecutor, court services and
judges to make a final decision on
admission to the WIR program. All
participants must be able, emotionally
and mentally, to receive services in an
outpatient environment, voluntarily
consent to services and work
collaboratively with the treatment team
under a comprehensive treatment plan.
(10) The evaluation design: WestEd
will lead a quasi-experiment matched
comparison study using logistic
regression and ordinary least squares
regression. The proposed project,
evaluation methods, and anticipated
outcomes are designed in a way to
produce rigorous evidence that
participant outcomes are not due to
random chance or some other
observable force. The reliance on state
and local administrative data sources
reduced (essentially removes) the
chance that outcome measures can be
manipulated by service providers,
intermediaries, or investors. To further
mitigate this chance, WestEd will
include a number of steps to ensure the
independence and integrity of the
evaluation process.

Jkt 256001
(11) The metrics that will be used in
the evaluation to determine whether the
outcomes have been achieved as a result
of each intervention and how these
metrics will be measured: The project
will be evaluated using a quasiexperimental design study. The
treatment group shall consist of
individuals who have been enrolled in
the WIR program. The control group
shall be a matched comparison group,
consisting of female prison receptions
and releases outside of Tulsa County
who did not receive WIR or other
comparable services. The results of the
treatment group will be compared to the
results of the comparison group across
all outcome measures.
(12) The estimate of the savings to the
Federal, State, and local government, on
a program-by-program basis and in the
aggregate, if the agreement is entered
into and implemented and the outcomes
are achieved as a result of each
intervention:
Federal Savings: $3,367,085.
Oklahoma expects state and local
savings to be realized by reduced public
sector costs related to incarceration,
parole supervision, homelessness, and
child welfare. Oklahoma also expects an
increase in tax revenue and
contributions to the local economy.
