The Portage County government in Ohio received a $250,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.753 Congressionally Recommended Awards) on July 1, 2023. The funding will support the provision of reentry services to formerly incarcerated individuals in the community, including assistance with obtaining employment, housing, education, healthcare, and other critical needs to facilitate their successful reintegration and reduce recidivism. Key services to be delivered include career training, transitional housing, driver's license acquisition, high school equivalency preparation, apprenticeship programs, and cognitive behavioral interventions. The grant aims to break the cycle of criminal behavior, enhance participants' education and social skills, and empower them to become productive, self-sufficient members of the local community.
