Our mission: Creating Opportunities for Safer Communities

What are the goals of the grant and what is the process for reaching these goals?

The primary goal is a significant reduction in recidivism. The two year recidivism goal is a 20% reduction; and five year goal, 30% reduction. The focus is on comprehensive system-wide change, infrastructure building, and sustainability. The initiative will achieve these goals by focusing on quality assurance, training, pre-release planning, job competencies, and evidence based workloads.
