Description
The Community Reentry Reinvestment Grant Program, administered by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, funds initiatives that help justice-involved individuals transition successfully from incarceration or justice supervision to stable employment and community reintegration. The program emphasizes rapid employment, practical training aligned with labor market demand, barrier reduction (such as support for transportation, housing, and childcare), and strong employer partnerships. Grantees are expected to provide integrated services including skill development, paid work experience, wage subsidies, case management, and retention support, with the overarching goal of reducing recidivism and promoting long-term workforce attachment in Tennessee.
