Past Event
May 28, 2024, 1:00pm - 2:00pm, Eastern

Hosted by The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center and the U.S Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) 

In this webinar, representatives from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center review the BJA FY24 Smart Reentry: Housing Demonstration Program Solicitation application process. The program supports state, local, and Tribal governments to enhance or implement evidence-based programs to improve reentry and reduce recidivism by expanding and/or increasing access to housing for people with criminal justice system involvement.  The program will help jurisdictions assess their reentry systems, identify strengths and gaps, and then build capacity for improving housing options for adults released from prison or jail.  

Speakers: 

  • Andre Bethea, Senior Policy Advisor, Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice  
  • Charles Francis, Deputy Program Director, Behavioral Health, CSG Justice Center
