The application period for the Community-Based Transitional
Housing grant program opened October 1 and cities and counties
are now able to apply for up to $2 million in grants if they
approve conditional use permits for facilities that provide
transitional housing and support services for offenders released
from state prisons and county jails.
The 2016 Budget Act appropriated $25 million total for the
Program, which seeks to encourage local communities to support
housing that provides treatment and reentry programming. While
the Program grants seek to focus on the recently incarcerated,
cities and counties may apply for funds to serve other
populations that they believe will benefit from the Program’s
services. More information about program requirements and the
grant applications are available
here.
