The Problem

650,000 People Released Every Year. Most Have No Coordinated Plan.

Thousands of communities across the country have reentry resources — housing programs, job training, substance use treatment, mental health services. But these resources operate in silos. There is no single system that connects a returning citizen to the right services, builds a plan, and holds them accountable through completion.

Fragmented Services

Housing, employment, legal, healthcare — each managed by a different agency with no shared information or coordination. Participants navigate it alone.

Not Enough Case Managers

The demand far exceeds the workforce. Rural and underserved communities simply cannot hire enough people to serve everyone who needs help.

No Accountability System

Without tracking and follow-up, participants miss appointments, lose benefits, and recidivate. The system wasn't built to keep people on track.

The Solution

One Platform. Complete Reentry Support.

TAP APP replaces fragmented spreadsheets and manual processes with a coordinated digital case management system. Eight integrated features that work together to guide every participant from release to self-sufficiency.

Needs Assessments

Comprehensive intake evaluations across housing, employment, mental health, substance use, legal obligations, and more.

Resource Mapping

Connects participants to local community resources — shelters, clinics, employers, legal aid — tailored to their zip code and needs.

ISP Builder

Automatically generates Individual Service Plans with short-term and long-term goals based on assessment results.

Appointment Scheduling

Schedule and track parole visits, court dates, drug screens, counseling sessions, and job interviews in one place.

Goal Tracking

Monitor progress on every goal — housing secured, job placed, sobriety maintained — with visual dashboards and milestone alerts.

Accountability Dashboard

Real-time visibility for case managers and supervisors. See who is on track, who needs intervention, and where resources are gaps.

Job Placement

Track employment readiness, connect to local employers, and monitor job placement outcomes through the employment pipeline.

Check-Ins

Participants check in after completing appointments and milestones. Progress updates flow to case managers automatically.

Proof of Concept

96% Retention Rate Across 4 Locations

The Dannon Project has been delivering intensive case management, job training, and holistic support to returning citizens for over two decades. The in-person model works. TAP APP takes it digital — making it scalable to any community in the country.

"We begin working with participants six months before release and stay with them through employment and beyond, because second chances require more than good intentions. TAP APP takes what we've proven in-person and delivers it to every community that needs it."

Kerri
Founder, The Dannon Project
Two Decades in the Making

From a Living Room to a National Platform

1

Started with 8 people in a living room

The Dannon Project began as a grassroots effort to help returning citizens in Birmingham, Alabama find their footing after incarceration.

2

Partnered with the US Attorney's Office

Kerri's work caught federal attention. A partnership with the US Attorney's Office provided the framework for scaling evidence-based reentry services.

3

Visited 33 communities nationwide

Over two decades, Kerri conducted focus groups, surveys, and site visits across 33 communities to understand what reentry actually looks like on the ground.

4

Built TAP APP to scale the model

The same assessments, service plans, and accountability that drove a 96% retention rate — now available virtually to any community, anywhere.

Research Foundation

Two decades of fieldwork and data collection
33 community site visits and assessments
Hundreds of focus groups and surveys
US Attorney's Office partnership
Proven across AL, GA, and SC

This isn't a tech startup looking for a problem to solve. This is two decades of real-world evidence, packaged into technology that can reach the communities we can't physically be in.
