  4. P2E Stakeholder engagementWhat We Learned • Operational silos across all public and non-profit agencies. • Limited data collection and sharing capacity. • Significant Realignment resources in the region funding pilot efforts: Prop 47 and SB 678. • 38 respondents surveyed reported serving more than 29,000 justice-involved individuals in 2018 (under-funded, unable to meet demand - particularly supportive services). • Lived-experience peer mentoring is highly effective.

  5. P2E Stakeholder engagementWhat We Learned • More than 600 employers hired justice-involved individuals in 2017-18 • 2,218 justice-involved individuals employed through the workforce system (39 AJCCs) in FY 2017-18 at an average wage of $12.00 (LA living wages: $14.62). • Entry-level jobs - About 40% in high growth sectors in construction, trade and logistics, healthcare, and leisure and hospitality. • A variety of P2E-focused training programs identified at adult schools, Community College CTE, and labor (SEIU, Hospitality Training Academy, MC3 Construction)
