Cooperative Agreements

This Cooperative Agreement aims to establish a process evaluation framework specifically tailored for state Department of Corrections (DOC) agencies to facilitate a systematic and in-depth examination of the decision-making processes involved in releasing incarcerated individuals to halfway houses and reentry centers. This is not a funding opportunity to establish halfway homes, build halfway homes nor staffing for halfway homes. The central aim is to uncover the precise operational mechanisms, identify the challenges encountered, and understand the various factors that influence these critical determinations. It is important to clarify that this evaluation focuses on understanding.

Through this solicitation, NIC seeks a provider to deliver: One blended basic training for new facilitators of victim-offender dialogue and One blended advanced training focused on cases involving sexual assault. Together, these training courses will expand the capacity of state correctional agencies to meet victims’ needs, foster healing, and enable victims to actively participate in repairing the harm caused to them.
