NEW YORK, December 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global provider of secure solutions for the e-Government, Public Safety, HealthCare, and Finance sectors announced today that Leaders in Community Alternatives (LCA), a subsidiary of SuperCom, has been selected to implement and deploy a community-based supportive services program to reduce recidivism in a new county in Northern California, further expanding its presence in the state.

This new program, which is expected to commence in February 2017, is valued at approximately $500,000 per year and was awarded for an initial term of 18 months with an optional extension of up to five years, which equals $750,000 to $2.5 million in total program revenue. Based on historical information, similar programs typically run for three to five years before being put out for bid again.

Under the contract, LCA will provide a comprehensive employment program providing evidence-based and individualized services that contribute to a reduction in recidivism. These type of programs are aimed at supporting those reentering the community from periods of incarceration. The program is expected to provide LCA with a valuable platform in this county opening up other potential growth opportunities.

"Having served municipalities in the State of California since 1991, we are pleased to have been chosen by a new county customer for this engagement and believe this decision is a testament to the value of our services and the quality of our work to date," commented Ms. Linda Connelly, Founder and President of LCA.
