SOR II Kickoff Meeting Follow-Up

Thank you to everyone that attended the SOR II Kickoff Meeting on Tuesday, October 6th. We truly appreciate everyone's attendance and participation! We have a few follow-up points:

  • Meeting slides & recording: The slides from the meeting are posted on the SOR Portal's General SOR Grant Resource Page and the recording of the meeting will be posted by the end of this week.

  • SOR II re-intake feedback: We had a fruitful discussion with all attendees regarding the re-intake process for clients receiving SOR II-funded services that also completed GPRA surveys for SOR I. OMNI is committed to incorporating CSB input and as discussed in the kickoff meeting, would like to hear from CSBs on how best to orient the GPRA survey process to clients and agency's best interests.

    We have created a short form to gauge interest in a meeting/workgroup in which CSB staff would provide feedback and input on the SOR II GPRA re-intake process. If you are interested in this meeting/workgroup, please fill out this form. Participation is optional and our goal is to hear from a mix of voices and CSBs. We have not yet set a date/time for this meeting but if you complete this form we will include you in future communication about scheduling. We will share final plans with our entire SOR contact list, so if you don't participate in the workgroup, you will still hear the results and changes that you need to know when they are finalized.

  • Justice-based GPRA training: As shared in the meeting, there are some slight differences to the GPRA questions and process for CSBs who will be administering the GPRA in jails or other justice settings. We will hold a training on October 20 from 1:00-2:30 p.m. to go over this information. Please register here for this training.

Thank you again! We appreciate everyone's time and energy as we get SOR II started. As always, please reach out to SORSupport@omni.org with any questions!
