The Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) administers general appropriation funds designated to support Pre and Post-Incarceration Services (PAPIS) programs. Applications for continuation funding for Fiscal Year 2020 are currently being solicited.

 

This grant is intended specifically to facilitate transitional housing, treatment, employment readiness, and employment placement for individuals returning to the community. In addition to providing basic individual needs, programs should incorporate research-informed practices that target individual criminogenic risk factors and needs associated with recidivism.
