If your organization supports people affected by substance use or the justice system, you may qualify for a new grant opportunity known as the Arizona Justice Reinvestment Grant. As part of Proposition 207 (Smart and Safe Act aka retail marijuana) Arizona funds organizations that help these communities and persons who were victims of overcharging for marijuana possession by county prosecutors.
This grant is designed for organizations working on:
- Substance use prevention, treatment, and early intervention
- Reentry, diversion, rehabilitation, and job training for individuals affected by the justice system
- Addressing factors that contribute to crime and supporting community safety initiatives
- Restoring civil rights and clearing charges from records (also known as expungement)
