48 - ADULT EDUCATION, VOCATION, AND OFFENDER PROGRAMS - ADULT ADMINISTRATION

The Office of Program Support (OPS) provides fiscal, budgetary, personnel, business, and information technology services to the various offices within Adult Programs. The OPS was established as part of the fiscal year 2009-10 budget reductions in an effort to streamline and consolidate the Adult Programs administrative functions. In addition, OPS serves in a liaison capacity between CDCR headquarters' offices (i.e. Human Resources, Budget Management Branch, Facilities and Leasing, etc.).

The Office of Rehabilitative Program Planning and Accountability (ORPPA) was established to ensure CDCR's rehabilitative programs are developed, implemented, and monitored according to evidence-based principles that are most likely to reduce recidivism. The ORPPA serves a critical role in the implementation and improvement of the delivery of rehabilitative programs and consists of the following four units: Assessments and Case Management Unit; Data and Performance Management Unit; Fidelity Unit; and the Training and Program Development Unit.

The Office of Community Partnerships (OCP) develops and manages the following programs: Volunteer and Self-Help Groups; Visitor Centers; Case Management Services; Transition and Employment Services; and Community Support Services. Additionally, OCP maintains meaningful collaborations with community stakeholders to ensure a continuum of service delivery and seamless reintegration into the community by promoting shared responsibility for reducing recidivism and enhancing public safety. These stakeholders include local law enforcement, local governments, the Employment Development Department, California and local Workforce Investment Boards, faith-based and community organizations.
