Reentry Project Grant Funding
The U.S. Labor Department’s Reentry Project Grant Program is the primary funding source of Project Clean Slate in Detroit and $4.5 million was reawarded on June 27,2017. Nearly $73 million was awarded in grant funds to 32 service agencies throughout the country to strengthen access to opportunities for individuals in communities with high poverty and crime rates. The goal is for organizations to develop new models of service with evidence-based practices to improve job opportunities and outcomes for these at-risk individuals and communities. Benefits of Good Public Policy The Reentry Grant Program is noted as “good public policy” by Eric Seleznow, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the U.S. Labor Department as it serves the dual purpose of reducing recidivism for ex-offenders and promoting harm-reduction for the public. There is clear evidence of the criminal reoffending when s/he does not successfully overcome barriers to reenter society. Public safety is the reward of such programs as Project Clean Slate in Detroit and other high crime areas when ex-offenders are allowed access to legitimate employment opportunities. |
