ACOJA Consulting

What ACOJA Consulting does

ACOJA Consulting LLC is a privately held, M/WBE-certified professional services consultancy founded in 2019 and operating in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Puerto Rico through ACOJA Consulting LLC and ACOJA Puerto Rico LLC. The firm is led by two principals — Alison O Jordan (25+ years of senior government and system management experience; Licensed Certified Social Worker and Certified Correctional Health Professional) and Jacqueline Cruzado-Quinones (20 years of senior government and executive management experience, described as a pioneer in correctional public health) — and operates with a headcount in the 1–10 range. The company delivers strategic planning, technical assistance, training, program evaluation, and capacity-building services to health and human services organizations, university research programs, and government agencies, with a particular specialization in correctional public health and the transition from incarceration to community.

The firm's flagship offering is its Transitional Care Coordination (TCC) intervention, documented in a Tools + Tips Handbook and featured in the CDC Compendium of Evidence-Based Interventions for both New York City and Puerto Rico implementations. Adjacent products include Community Collaboratives (live and virtual events such as the Road to Dissemination webinar series hosted with TargetHIV and Cultural Responsiveness training), Training and Technical Assistance engagements, and a COVID-19 Community Collaborative resource hub. Distribution is exclusively direct-to-client via a contact form and phone (929-319-3456), with marketing conducted through publications (Public Health Behind Bars Chapter 33, NASW social justice briefs, Vera Institute briefs, NCCHC position statements), podcasts, webinars, and community events.

The business model is professional services consulting: quote-based, custom engagements billed under multi-year contracts with government agencies (CDC, NYC Department of Correction), nonprofit/NGO buyers (NASW, NCCHC, Vera Institute of Justice), and university research programs. No software, app, API, or platform product is offered; revenue is generated entirely through billable advisory hours, training delivery, and publication/policy work. The firm holds no external funding, has no disclosed revenue, and appears founder-owned and managed with no institutional investors or parent company.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Impact Justice: National research and innovation nonprofit focused on criminal justice reform, including reentry programs. Comparable in addressing reentry and correctional reform, though more research and advocacy-oriented versus ACOJA's consulting and implementation focus.
• Human Impact Partners: Public health consulting and advocacy organization focused on health equity and social justice. Comparable in bridging public health with social justice work, though Human Impact Partners operates more at the policy/advocacy layer while ACOJA delivers direct technical assistance.

Direct peers

• CGL Companies: Management consulting firm specializing in justice, health, and human services for public sector agencies. Comparable to ACOJA in delivering strategic planning, organizational change, and program evaluation to government clients in corrections and human services.
• The Moss Group: Correctional consulting firm providing training, technical assistance, and program evaluation to corrections agencies. Directly comparable to ACOJA's correctional public health and reentry focus, with overlapping client base in state and local correctional systems.
• Community Oriented Correctional Health Services (COCHS): Nonprofit focused on integrating community health services into correctional settings. Directly comparable in mission and correctional public health focus, with overlapping concern for transitional care and reentry populations.

Broad incumbents

• Health Management Associates (HMA): National healthcare consulting firm serving public agencies and health systems with policy, program design, and evaluation services. Comparable in providing strategic consulting to health and human services agencies, though at significantly larger scale across more diverse healthcare segments.
• Wexford Health Sources: Major provider of correctional healthcare services across state prison systems. Comparable as a player in correctional public health, though Wexford delivers direct clinical services at much larger scale while ACOJA provides the consulting and technical assistance layer.

Others

• Vera Institute of Justice: Research and policy nonprofit working on criminal justice reform. ACOJA has been featured in Vera publications and shares the correctional reform mission, but Vera operates primarily as a think tank and research organization rather than a direct consulting services provider.
