Details:
The Justice Reinvestment Program (JRP) funds initiatives that assess individuals and provide a continuum of community-based sanctions, services, and programs to reduce recidivism and state prison usage, while maintaining public safety and accountability. The JRP is part of Oregon’s Justice Reinvestment Initiative, a proactive approach to effectively spend resources in the state’s criminal justice system. Under the justice reinvestment model, prison growth is limited, and a portion of the avoided operational prison costs are reinvested in the state’s local public safety systems.
This funding opportunity aims to support trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and sustainable victim services that reach underserved and marginalized communities throughout Clatsop County.
To be eligible for the JRP Formula Grant organizations must be nonprofit victim service providers with a demonstrated commitment to supporting survivors of crime.
- Services may include (but are not limited to):
- Crisis intervention
- Advocacy
- Housing assistance
- Culturally specific support
- Legal accompaniment.
Program Goals and Priorities
The goals of the JRP are:
- Reducing recidivism through evidence-based practices while protecting public safety and holding individuals accountable and
- Decreasing prison utilization for property, drug, and driving/DUII offenses while protecting public safety and holding individuals accountable.
Types of Grants
The JRP consists of two grant types:
- The Formula Grant is distributed to qualifying applicants based on a formula determined by state law.
