“Amendment SA 3435 agreed to in Senate by Voice Vote.”
This amendment renews a federal program that helps people leaving prison move back into their communities successfully. It provides funding for services like job training, mental health support, and housing assistance to help reduce the chances of someone committing another crime.
If this program is not renewed, local organizations and state governments might lose federal grants used to help former inmates find jobs and stable housing, which research suggests helps lower overall crime rates.
This directly affects state and local governments, non-profit community organizations, and individuals recently released from prison who rely on these support services.
