NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Unite Us, the nation’s trusted technology partner integrating health and community-based care, has partnered with the Washington State Department of Corrections (DOC) to launch the Unite Us – Washington DOC Network, a new statewide integrated platform designed to support individuals reentering their communities after incarceration across Washington state. The network will connect people leaving incarceration to essential community resources, helping promote self-sufficiency and reduce recidivism, while strengthening public safety across Washington state.

Funded by the Smart Supervision Grant, this initiative will unify DOC divisions, community organizations, and individuals under supervision, streamlining access to reentry support.

Unite Us’ infrastructure serves as a critical tool to securely integrate service providers in real time across the Unite Us – Washington DOC Network:

• Create a unified “one-stop shop" where both DOC staff and community members have access to the same, consistent, and vetted resources—verified by Unite Us to provide reliable and up-to-date information.
• Facilitate seamless collaboration between divisions within DOC, enhancing continuity of care and fostering a shared commitment to positive outcomes.
• Continuously grow, offering an expanding continuum of services to proactively reduce barriers to successful reentry and further lower recidivism rates.
• Enable secure communication and closed-loop referrals with in-network community partners, streamlining service coordination.
• Deliver actionable, data-driven insights on program and service utilization, helping identify what resources are most effective and in demand.

“Our partnership with the Washington State Department of Corrections marks a significant step forward in building healthier, safer communities,” said Taylor Justice, president and co-founder at Unite Us. “By providing an integrated coordinated care network, we are not just offering a directory; we are creating a systemic approach to support individuals during a critical transition period, fostering greater success and reducing barriers to long-term stability.”

This initiative underscores the Washington State DOC's commitment to innovation and collaboration in its mission to promote positive change and enhance public safety.
