At the end of 2024, the Criminal Justice, Mental Health and Substance Abuse (CJMHSA) Technical Assistance Center (TAC) submitted their FY23-24 Annual Report. This report is prepared by the TAC and summarizes the 26 CJMHSA reinvestment grant programs throughout the State of Florida. In addition to its use by communities, this report goes to the governor and other high-ranking members of the state’s legislature to increase awareness of the reinvestment grant program and inform future policy and funding decisions. Key highlights from the report include:
- 82.7% of performance measures met out of 198 measures across all grantees
- More than $40M of criminal justice costs avoided for grantees who track these impacts
- More than 3,200 individuals served by reinvestment grant programs in FY23-24
- Exceeded satisfactory benchmarks across all 18 CJMHSA TAC technical assistance events
- Leveraged seven USF faculty and external subject matter experts engaged to support TAC events
This report can be used by researchers, community leaders, and policy makers to measure the impact of grant funds and monitor systems change initiatives throughout the state.
