Description
This Illinois Department of Human Services program funds case management and support services for Illinois residents charged with a criminal offense and granted pretrial release. Funded programs collaborate with local court stakeholders (judges, attorneys, law enforcement, and others) to identify eligible participants and provide voluntary services. These services may include mental health and substance use disorder case management, detoxification, medication-assisted treatment, childcare, transportation to court appearances, harm reduction, clinical interventions, group counseling, social-emotional learning, and motivational interviewing. The overarching goal is to reduce barriers to court appearances and lower recidivism through comprehensive, community-based support.
