New Job Training and Reentry Support for Justice-Involved Individuals.

This Act establishes new competitive grant programs aimed at improving employment opportunities and skill attainment for adults and youth who have been involved with the justice system. The goal is to facilitate their successful return to the workforce, directly reducing recidivism and enhancing community safety. These programs mandate career services, job training, and offer supportive services like mental health referrals and assistance with obtaining necessary employment documents.
Key points
Federal grants will fund projects providing job placement, skills training, and transitional employment for individuals recently released from incarceration.
Programs must prioritize serving high-poverty areas and engaging participants either before release or within 90 days afterward to maximize successful reentry.
A portion of the funding uses a "pay-for-performance" model, ensuring that program effectiveness is rigorously measured by employment rates and reduction in reoffending.
Supportive services include help with driver's license reinstatement and referrals for mental health or substance use disorder treatment.
