The application is now live for Adult Redeploy Illinois, administered by the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA).

The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority is requesting proposals for grants for implementation of Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) programs. Grants will be made with SFY27 funds. A total of $11,000,000 in funding is available through this solicitation for use over a period of 12 months. 

Program Requirements: The mission of Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI) is to safely reduce prison use by building local systems that divert individuals from a prison sentence into more cost-effective programs that promote their reintegration into the community.

ARI provides funding and technical assistance to Illinois communities to establish a continuum of sanctions and treatment alternatives that effectively address social determinants of crime and incarceration, and that promote equity within the justice system.

Eligible Applicants: This solicitation is open to county units of government or judicial circuits. A county may submit on behalf of a group of counties or a judicial circuit. Other units of local government, private agencies or not-for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply; however, the applicant jurisdiction may include subawards or subcontracts for services with these entities as part of the program design and budget.
