The purpose of this study was to understand how three diverse states—Illinois, Texas, and Washington— approached the development, launch, and ongoing management of their justice-involved programs under Section 1115 waivers. To address these questions, SHADAC reviewed states’ Section 1115 waiver applications, related waiver documentation, relevant grey and peer reviewed literature, and conducted interviews with both state agency and local programmatic staff involved in the implementation of waiver programs across the three study states.
