Innovation RFA: ATI-Reentry Interventions

Through this Innovation RFA, the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) seeks applications for Alternative to Incarceration (ATI) and Re-Entry Services and Interventions. Approximately $15.5 million is expected to be available for proposals that aim to reduce recidivism, reduce reliance on incarceration, and improve the outcomes of individuals involved in or who have had previous involvement in the justice system.

DCJS intends to fund both Demonstration and Evidence-Based Programming through this solicitation. The purpose of this RFA is to solicit applications for unique and evidence-based approaches to work with individuals who are involved in, have previous involvement in, or are at risk of involvement in, the criminal justice system. These programs should target one or more of the following: the risk of incarceration, risk of recidivism, criminogenic needs, responsivity factors; and/or stabilization needs.

DCJS is committed to providing programs that help keep New York's communities safe and improve the effectiveness of the State's criminal justice system. Applications will be selected for funding consistent with the best interest of the state. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate in their response to this solicitation how their application supports New York's commitment to improving the lives of individuals involved in, having previous involvement in, or at risk of involvement in, the criminal justice system and promoting public safety.
