RRF Webinar Presentation

The webinar on May 28, 2015, discussed the Recidivism Reduction Fund Grant, which was established by the Judicial Council following the Budget Act of 2014 to support trial courts in implementing practices to reduce adult offender recidivism, with about $13.65 million allocated to 27 superior courts. The grant program is structured into three fiscal years, starting with a firm fixed allocation in the first year followed by reimbursable funding in the subsequent years, requiring detailed fiscal and program reporting, including quarterly and annual data submissions on program effectiveness. Key staff involved include Martha Wright as the RRF Project Manager and Robert Lower as the point of contact for RRF data collection, with the webinar covering topics such as contract overview, fiscal reporting, and data collection strategies.
