WASHINGTON – The Office of Justice
Programs today announced that almost $70 million in grant funding 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 OJP Principal
Deputy Assistant Attorney General Katharine T. Sullivan. “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.”
OJP is the
federal government’s leading source of public safety funding and crime victim
assistance for state, local and tribal jurisdictions. Its 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.
A number of
funding opportunities are currently open, with several more opening in the near
future.
