Project Description: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
This currently operational program provides pre-trial intervention for honeless, bondable offenders who would otherwise be incarcerated due to lack of a verifiable address. This program provides referral to appropriate housing and case management, and tracks client's participation in assigned programs as required by the courts. |

Services Provided/Benefit to State: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
The continuation funding will allow the program to continue to serve appropriate homeless individuals who otherwise would not be eligible for pre-trial release, making jail beds available for non-bondable offenders, reducing the overall costs of serving homeless persons in the criminal justice system, and reducing recidivism in the criminal justice system through intervention services. |

|
|
|
|
|
||||
Reduction of homeless persons detained, pre-trial who would otherwise be eligible for release, increase in turnover of jail beds, # of eligible homeless persons referred to HART, # of HART participants that complete their programs, # of HART participants that do not re-enter the criminal justice system. |
