The Colorado Department of Corrections Division of Adult Parole received a $1,000,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative (CFDA 16.812). The grant funds will be used to develop a pay-for-performance program that coordinates recovery residences and provides behavioral health services for individuals with serious mental illness during the first 6-9 months of their reentry into the community. The program aims to reduce the number of individuals who abscond, need hospitalization, receive jail time, or have their parole revoked, as well as improve the overall reentry experience. The grant will support comprehensive case management and wraparound services delivered in collaboration with various partners. The project period runs from October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2029.
