Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
More reentry help for formerly incarcerated
This bill would let the Attorney General grant $10 million per year (FY2027–FY2031) to local nonprofits to run community reentry centers. These centers would provide trauma‑informed, gender‑responsive intake and long‑term case management. They would help with job search and placement, vocational and postsecondary training, housing help, ID and benefits access, legal help, healthcare and substance use referrals, and transportation planning. Applicants would need to work with local stakeholders, measure outcomes (recidivism, employment, housing, education), and identify practicable supplemental state/local/private funds. The Attorney General would hire a nonprofit evaluator and must report to Congress within one year of the first grants and each year after.
24/7 free reentry hotlines
This bill would let the Attorney General give grants to States, Tribes, and local governments to run toll‑free reentry hotlines that operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Hotlines would refer callers to local reentry services, protect personally identifiable information from disclosure without consent, and train staff on available services and reentry barriers. Hotlines must be accessible to people with limited English and to people with disabilities and support text messaging. Grants may be up to five years and the program would get $1.5 million per year (FY2027–FY2031).
