In August, 2005, STAR was awarded a two-year grant by the Donald and Virginia Sherwood Trust, and hired its first Executive Director. STAR has operated an institution based program at the Washington State Penitentiary for people soon to be released to Walla Walla and Columbia counties since early 2004, and began a community-based program in Walla Walla for recently-released people. In November, STAR began operating a Community Accountability Board for recently released people in partnership with the Department Of Corrections, Community Corrections Office in Walla Walla.
