Serious and Violent Offender Reentry
Initiative Grantee
Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services
(Amount: $2,000,000*)
The Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services
(DMHAS) will work with the Department of Correction, the Judicial
Branch’s Court Support Services Division–Probation, the Board of
Parole, and the Connecticut Employment and Training Commission–State
Workforce Investment Board to implement the Connecticut Reentry
Program (CRP). CRP will provide intensive case management services
to 120 serious and violent offenders ages 18–34 returning to the
Hartford, New Haven, and Bridgeport communities. The project will
emphasize serious and violent offenders who are homeless or at
imminent risk of homelessness upon release. CRP will expand culturally
appropriate intensive case management and integrate mental health
and substance abuse treatment services for recently released men
and women who have significant mental health and co-occurring substance
use disorders. DMHAS will hire a full-time project manager, three
full-time case managers, and three full-time vocational specialists
to help implement this program. For more
information, read this grantee’s workplan.
