The purpose of the FY19 IRI grant program is to provide states, local jurisdictions, and Indian tribes with the resources and training and technical assistance necessary to identify assets and gaps in their reentry systems and develop capacity and partnerships to provide services that prevent recidivism, reduce crime, and improve public safety in their jurisdictions.
