Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for New Jersey Reentry and Recovery Services
The Banking Institution's Grants for Mental Health Services Improvements aims to enhance or implement services and evidence-based responses to improve reentry, reduce recidivism, and address treatment and recovery needs of people with mental health, substance use, or co-occurring disorders who are currently or were formerly involved in the criminal justice system in New Jersey. To achieve this goal, the grant focuses on several priority outcomes that are critical to the state's reentry and recovery landscape.
Addressing the Needs of High-Risk, High-Need Individuals
New Jersey's reentry population is characterized by a high prevalence of mental health and substance use disorders. According to the New Jersey Department of Corrections, in 2020, nearly 70% of incarcerated individuals in the state had a diagnosed mental health condition, and over 80% had a substance use disorder. Therefore, a key priority outcome for this grant is to provide targeted support services to high-risk, high-need individuals, including those with co-occurring disorders. The New Jersey Department of Human Services' Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services is a key partner in this effort, providing critical services and support to individuals in need.
Reducing Recidivism through Evidence-Based Practices
New Jersey has seen a significant reduction in recidivism rates in recent years, with a three-year recidivism rate of 27.6% in 2020, down from 37.4% in 2015. To continue this trend, the grant prioritizes the implementation of evidence-based practices that have been shown to reduce recidivism, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication-assisted treatment. The New Jersey State Parole Board is working closely with community-based providers to ensure that individuals released from incarceration receive the support they need to succeed.
Improving Reentry Outcomes in New Jersey's Urban Centers
New Jersey's urban centers, such as Newark and Camden, face unique challenges related to reentry and recovery. These areas often have higher concentrations of individuals with mental health and substance use disorders, as well as limited access to resources and services. To address these challenges, the grant prioritizes initiatives that improve reentry outcomes in these areas, including programs that provide housing support, job training, and mental health services. The City of Newark's Department of Health and Human Services is a key partner in this effort, working to coordinate services and support for individuals in need.
New Jersey's coastal economy and diverse population also present opportunities for innovative reentry and recovery initiatives. For example, some organizations are leveraging the state's tourism industry to provide job training and employment opportunities for individuals released from incarceration. Additionally, the state's many non-profit organizations, such as those providing non-profit support services, are playing a critical role in supporting reentry and recovery efforts.
Applicants for this grant should be aware that the Banking Institution is particularly interested in supporting initiatives that address the intersection of mental health and criminal justice. As such, proposals that incorporate innovative approaches to reentry and recovery, such as the use of technology or peer support services, are encouraged.
Q: What types of services are eligible for funding under this grant? A: Services that support reentry, reduce recidivism, and address treatment and recovery needs of people with mental health, substance use, or co-occurring disorders are eligible for funding, including housing support, job training, and mental health services.
Q: How can non-profit organizations in New Jersey apply for this grant? A: Non-profit organizations can apply for this grant by submitting a proposal that outlines their planned services and outcomes, as well as their experience working with the target population. Applicants should review the grant guidelines carefully and ensure that their proposal aligns with the priority outcomes outlined in the grant announcement.
Q: Are there any specific reporting requirements for grant recipients in New Jersey? A: Yes, grant recipients will be required to submit regular reports to the Banking Institution, including data on service utilization, outcomes, and other key metrics. Recipients should be prepared to track and report on their progress towards the priority outcomes outlined in the grant announcement.
