How We’re Unique

  • A fixed reimbursement rate with risk sharing: The NetWork operates under a performance-based, earned income strategy -- purchasers pay for outcomes, not merely the promise of services.
  • Tested Methods for Reducing Public Spending: The first deliverable for this effort was an extensive scan and assessment of efforts across the country to effectively deliver services to this population. The business planning and on-going refinement of this enterprise have built on these lessons. Increasingly, the “best practices” that we emulate come from leading businesses that have succeeded by developing clear strategies, building the best systems and processes, and finding the right people to execute them.
  • From Costly Clients to Tax Paying Producers:  We set high expectations for the men and offer the opportunities for them to become productive, contributing members of our community.
  • Maximizing Benefits and Reducing Transactions: We generate tangible results with greater efficiency by tapping into existing services and keeping the number of moving parts to a minimum.
  • An Integrated Support and Accountability Model:  We offer quick access to a set of essential services.  These supports combined with The NetWork's community experience provides an alternative platform for managing relapse, chronic health and mental health conditions, and release violations.
  • An Impressive Collective Track Record: Our founding Partners bring decades of experience and successful records of serving high-risk adults. These agencies and their leaders offer a collective portfolio of system change achievements with highly vulnerable people in Minnesota and in communities throughout the country. 

When high-risk adults move from using expensive public programs to paying state taxes, we improve public safety, increase incomes, reduce spending, and create healthier lives in Minnesota.
