Amid Federal Funding Cuts, Here’s How the CSG Justice Center Can Help You Advance Safety and Justice

May 7, 2025

Every day, public safety depends on thousands of state and local leaders who work across agencies, systems, and levels of government to make communities safer. For two decades, federal resources allowed the CSG Justice Center to support those leaders free of charge with on-demand assistance and expert analysis to help fix broken parts of the system and implement proven solutions.

On April 22, much of that federal support was ended, along with other vital grants. We’re working with federal officials to help restore these critical resources.

In the meantime, we’re still here, ready to continue helping leaders advance safety and justice. Our team continues to deliver rigorous, objective, and nonpartisan solutions tailored to your needs. Please reach out to the following staff:

  • Developing and assessing reentry and juvenile justice strategies:
