This BJS grant is specifically for administering the Survey of State Parole Agencies on Reentry Services (SSPARS). The core purpose is to generate vital national and state-level statistics detailing the types of treatment programs, housing and education assistance, and other essential reentry services received by adults under supervision by parole agencies throughout the 50 states and the District of Columbia. This significant 33-month program requires the chosen grantee to undertake several key tasks: convening an expert panel, conducting thorough stakeholder engagement, developing a robust survey instrument, efficiently administering the survey, meticulously cleaning the collected data, and finally, delivering complete data files along with comprehensive documentation. This effort directly supports OJP’s overarching mission to advance civil rights, racial equity, and enhance community safety within the justice system.
