Creating Belief Reentry Navigator

Agency and partner brief

A trusted front door for Maine reentry support.

A public, source-linked navigation layer designed for people coming home and the professionals who help them plan—without turning a resource search into a surveillance system.

Last updated August 11, 2026

What the platform delivers

  • 266 public listings across all 16 Maine counties and 19 support areas.
  • Plain-language search, urgent-need shortcuts, county filters, and access filters.
  • A private, device-local 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day planning workspace.
  • Source evidence, last-checked dates, correction reporting, open CSV, JSON, and MCP access.
  • No account requirement and no intake of names, case narratives, supervision details, or health history.

Designed for public-sector implementation

Implementation options

  1. Public referral layer: link to the statewide navigator from agency, court, provider, and community websites.
  2. Embedded workflow: open the navigator inside ChatGPT or a compatible case-planning environment while keeping resource data separate from case facts.
  3. Managed partnership: define agency-specific coverage, update cadence, reporting, service levels, and escalation procedures under contract.

Contract package still required

This public release is procurement-oriented, but it is not a claim of certification or contract award. A government engagement should add a completed Accessibility Conformance Report, independent manual assistive-technology testing, a security questionnaire and risk assessment, incident-response and business-continuity documentation, insurance evidence, service-level terms, data-update staffing, and the buyer's required legal and vendor-registration forms.
