A few details about the program’s current plans and stage of development.
How do people enter the David Restoration Program?
The David Restoration Program is being developed as a court-referred program. Participation will begin through an appropriate court referral and will remain subject to DRP eligibility requirements and program capacity.
Can I apply directly, or can a family member apply for someone?
No. DRP will not accept direct applications from individuals, family members, or the general public.
Who is the program intended for?
DRP is being developed for eligible adult men referred through the court system who are facing consequences for nonviolent offenses and may benefit from a highly structured alternative to incarceration. It is intended for individuals who are willing and able to participate in a highly structured environment built around employment, recovery, accountability, life skills, service, and personal responsibility. Certain offenses, including violent offenses, sexual offenses, and offenses against children, will fall outside the scope of the program. Final eligibility and acceptance will be determined through the appropriate court and DRP review process.
