State agency leaders convened on December 11, 2024, to advance Washington’s sign-on to Reentry 2030. This meeting, organized by the Washington Department of Corrections, the Washington Statewide Reentry Council, and The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center, focused on enhancing collaboration to improve reentry outcomes statewide. 

This session followed Washington’s Reentry 2030 launch and Governor Jay Inslee’s signing of Executive Order 24-03 on September 16, 2024, which reaffirmed the state’s commitment to the ambitious goals of Reentry 2030: 

• Zero returns to homelessness for people leaving incarceration 

• 40% employment for individuals six months post-release 

• 100% Medicaid enrollment for eligible individuals 90 days pre-release 

At the meeting of state leaders, the CSG Justice Center’s Reentry 2030 team shared evidence-based strategies to enhance reentry outcomes, offered a comprehensive overview of the initiative’s objectives, examined policy challenges affecting economic opportunities, and facilitated a collaborative planning session to reinforce interagency partnerships.
