Hudson County Community Reintegration Program

The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. The Second Chance Act will help ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. Section 101 of the Act authorizes grants to state and local governments and federally recognized Indian tribes that may be used for demonstration projects to promote the safe and successful reintegration. The goal of Section 101 of the Second Chance Act is to provide support to eligible applicants for the development and implementation of comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by reentry to increase public safety and reduce recidivism. The objectives of this program are to provide offenders with appropriate evidence-based services (including addressing individual criminogenic needs) based on a reentry plan that relies on a risk/needs assessment that reflects the risk of recidivism for that offender. Two categories for adult offender reentry programs were funded. Category 1 (planning grant) recipients will constitute jurisdictions which have demonstrated a commitment to establishing a reentry program, and have made progress on the 10 mandatory requirements of a comprehensive reentry program, but have not yet fully completed each step. In addition to funding, successful Category 1 recipients will receive targeted technical assistance to help them in the planning process. Category 2 (implementation grant) recipients must include specific strategies for implementing the 10 mandatory requirements of a comprehensive reentry program.

The grant recipient will use the supplemental grant funds to continue to support the Hudson County Community Reintegration Program. The primary goals of this initiative are to reduce recidivism in the target population and enhance public safety by reducing crime. This project plans to meet its goal by accomplishing the following objectives: maintaining a risk/needs assessment-driven service delivery system; providing temporary and permanent housing; providing residential and outpatient treatment; providing basic educational skills, vocational training, and work opportunities; offering day treatment programs that focuses on daily living skills, anger management, employment readiness, money management, family counseling, parenting skills education, and cognitive-behavioral groups; providing case management and medication when needed; and increasing family involvement through case management. Hudson County established a recidivism rate of 50.76 percent and in the next 6 months proposes to serve at least 170 offenders.
