Through a competitively bid process, Amity Foundation (Amity) was selected to act as Third-Party Administrator (TPA) to manage and distribute a portion of funds included in the CFCI spending plan, and Non-CFCI funds for Grants to Justice-Focused Community-Based Organizations. Amity will be responsible for distributing $55 million over three years across eight Program Areas with the goal of equitably increasing access to funds for organizations serving youth and those impacted by injustice and inequities within the criminal justice systems. Additionally, priority is given to organizations that have historically experienced barriers to accessing County funding.
Fund reentry programming for women or those who identify as women returning to the community after incarceration, designed to serve the unique needs of women involved in the criminal justice system. Programming will promote healthy connections to children, family, significant others, and the community; address substance use disorder, trauma, and mental illness; provide women with opportunities to achieve self-sufficiency and reduce recidivism. The program will hire community health care workers to provide case management and will incorporate housing and legal services to ensure safety and healing for the clients.
