Jefferson County Eligible for Prisoner Reentry Grant
September 8, 2008
New Prisoner Reentry Initiative Grants Announced
Limited Competition in 19 Cities--Jefferson County AL is one of them
Background: The President's Prisoner Re-entry Initiative (PRI) seeks to strengthen urban communities characterized by large numbers of returning prisoners through an employment-centered program that incorporates mentoring, job training, and other comprehensive transitional services. This program is a joint effort of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Labor (DOL) designed to reduce recidivism by helping inmates find work when they return to their communities.
DOJ recently awarded PRI grants to 19 State correctional agencies to provide pre-release services to prisoners returning to one targeted county within the state.
Eligibility: Under this new solicitation, DOL will be awarding grants to faith-based and community organizations (FBCOs) to provide post-release services to ex-prisoners in urban communities within the target counties. This competition is limited to FBCOs operating within the target county(ies) identified in each DOJ grant.
Watch this space for more funding/grant information.
