Competition Notes
The statutory language authorizing the Adult Reentry Grant Program does not specify the types of rental assistance and Warm Hand-Off reentry services to be funded. Applicants should select programs that best fit the needs of the community. Additionally, the Executive Steering Committee (ESC) has placed a priority on services that lead to permanent housing and the provision of critical-time intervention that meets the immediate needs of individuals upon their release from prison or from placement by parole in residential treatment. Grant funds may be used to implement new activities and programs and/or augment existing funds dedicated to a project but may not replace or supplant funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose.
