Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for New Jersey's Youth Reentry Programs
The Grants to Support Transitional Services to Assist Youth's Successful Reintegration program, funded by Banking Institution, aims to provide comprehensive reentry services to moderate- to high-risk youth in New Jersey. The New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF) and the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission (JJC) are key state agencies that will be involved in implementing this program. Given New Jersey's dense population and unique demographic features, such as its high concentration of youth in urban areas like Newark and Camden, the priority outcomes for this grant will focus on addressing the specific needs of these populations.
Reducing Recidivism through Targeted Support Services

The New Jersey EDA's (Economic Development Authority) existing programs, such as the Small Business Development Center, can serve as a model for providing business training and resources to youth who are transitioning back into their communities. By leveraging these resources and providing comprehensive support services, the program aims to reduce the likelihood of recidivism and help youth successfully reintegrate into society.
