Once a referral is submitted, an interview is scheduled with the offender (via telephone or in person) and an ETLS, Inc. staff member. During the interview process, a questionnaire is completed with the offender in which ETLS, Inc. will use to help determine if the interested applicant is a good fit for the program. If it is determined that the applicant is a good fit for the program, contact will be made with the Correctional Facility that houses the offender to arrange pick up once the offender is scheduled for release into the community. On the date of release, an ETLS, Inc. staff member will pick up the offender from the Correctional Facility and transport the offender to the ETLS, Inc. Transitional House.
