The Redemption Project funding provided to assist justice-impacted individuals with programming to reduce incarceration and assist inmates to transition from incarceration to community, and money appropriated.

HF 1683 appropriates $500,000 for fiscal year 2026 and $500,000 for fiscal year 2027 from the general fund to fund The Redemption Project. The program provides justice-impacted individuals and inmates with virtue-based education, mentoring, support services, and employment assistance to reduce recidivism and support community reintegration. Funds are administered through the Commissioner of Corrections to cover these specific services. The bill directly affects formerly incarcerated individuals and those impacted by the justice system by creating access to structured transition programming.
