COLUMBIA, South Carolina --- Acting U.S. Attorney A. Lance
Crick, of South Carolina, today announced that nearly $60 million in Department
of Justice grants is available to help communities address public safety by
supporting successful reentry of adult and juvenile offenders into their
communities.
“Our nation is facing difficult public safety challenges
that demand strong and immediate action. The high rate of recidivism poses a
dire threat to community safety and is being met with a robust response by this
Administration,” said Katharine T. Sullivan, Principal Deputy Assistant
Attorney General for the Office of Justice Programs. “The Department of Justice
is front and center in the fight to meet this persistent challenge. OJP is
making historic amounts of grant funding available to ensure that our
communities have access to innovative and diverse solutions.”
The funding is available through OJP, the federal
government’s leading source of public safety funding and crime victim
assistance in state, local and tribal jurisdictions. OJP’s programs support a
wide array of activities and services, including adult and juvenile reentry
initiatives and research projects designed to improve our knowledge of what
works in reentry programming.
