The Board of State and Community Corrections’ (BSCC) Executive Steering Committee approved and released the final Request for Proposal for the Mentally Ill Offender Crime Reduction (MIOCR) Grant Program late last Friday afternoon. The MIOCR Grant Program has approximately $17.1 million available – split evenly between adult and juvenile offenders with mental health needs – to support local recidivism reduction programs through prevention and early intervention, and a variety of support services that will help improve local recidivism reduction outcomes. Counties interested in applying for these recidivism reduction funds are encouraged to visit the BSCC website, accessed here. Applications are due Tuesday, April 3, 2015.
