Transitional Housing and Supportive Services
Through direct grants or through sub-granting, the Department will subsidize the provision of transitional housing and other supportive services for at least 200 community eligible offenders to be released from correctional facilities. Proposals for transitional housing may be for either single or mixed gender populations. Supportive services may include: referral services; job placement; transportation; mentoring; education; training; recreation, supervision and other services including gender-responsive services, and may involve partnering with existing community-based organizations providing supportive services. Partnerships among local agencies are highly encouraged, to provide for financial stability based on various sources of income to fund the housing proposal.
