Mr. Smith said that the SFY26 state budget has an appropriation of $10 million for the Co-Responder Pilot Program (CRPP), of which $9 million will be used to fund four programs and $200,000 will be used for ICJIA to conduct evaluations of each of the programs. He said that the remaining $800,000 will be set aside for an additional program that may be named during the fall veto session. He said that each agency will continue to establish a co-responder unit that shall employ licensed clinical social workers or licensed social workers who will conduct follow-up visits for victims who may benefit from mental or behavioral health services. He said that the unit shall utilize community resources, including services provided through the Illinois Department of Human Services and social workers in juvenile justice and adult investigations, to connect individuals with appropriate services. He said that the unit’s primary area of focus shall be victim assistance.
Mr. Smith said that at the December 15, 2022, Budget Committee meeting the Committee approved SFY23 designations for Springfield, Waukegan, and East St Louis police departments.

He said that at the September 14, 2023 the Budget Committee approved SFY24 designations to the four named police departments. He said that the East St. Louis, Peoria, Springfield, and Waukegan police departments were initially named to participate in a co-responder pilot project with appropriations provided in the Governor’s SFY23, SFY24, SFY25 and SFY 26 budgets. He said that there may be possibility of an additional police department to be named to the program during the fall veto session. He said that should additional departments not be added, the remaining unprogrammed funds may be designated to the four departments if needed. Mr. Smith said that the state’s Grants and Accountability and Transparency Unit (GATU) approved a deviation from the typical notice of funding opportunity process to allow this direct funding.
Mr. Smith said that staff recommends designating $9 million in appropriated SFY26 CRPP funds as described below to support up to twelve months of programming.
| AGENCY NAME | SFY25 |
| East St. Louis Police Department | $1,001,250 |

3. Flexible Housing Pool Reentry Pilot Program
Mr. Smith said that the Flexible Housing Pool (FHP) is a supportive housing program initiated by Chicago and Cook County in 2019. He said that its primary objective is to provide housing for individuals who are high utilizers of the hospital emergency department, jail systems, and shelters and are also facing homelessness. He said that the FHP utilizes an integrated housing, health, and social services design, consolidating various public and private investments into a single pool. He said that this pool provides rental subsidies and services to eligible individuals.
Mr. Smith said that the FHP promotes an integrated housing and service delivery strategy aimed at increasing supportive housing for individuals impacted by homelessness with complex health needs, a history of justice involvement, and significant adversities. He said that this innovative approach involves collaboration with support services providers, health care providers, housing finance agencies, housing developers, and philanthropy. He said that it aims to create hundreds of housing units and facilitate connections between residents and the health system.
Mr. Smith said that the SFY26 State of Illinois Budget included a $1 million appropriation from the General Revenue Fund to the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority for the Center for Housing and Health FHP Reentry Pilot Program. He said that the program will continue to provide transitional and permanent supportive housing for returning residents and any administrative expenses associated with the initiative. He said that on August 15, 2023, the Grant Accountability and Transparency Unit granted a deviation to the standard notice of funding competitive process and the merit-based review process. He said that this deviation allowed direct funding to be provided to the Center for Housing and Health FHP Reentry Pilot Program.
Designation
Mr. Smith said that staff recommends designating $1 million in SFY26 FHP funds to the Center for Housing and Health for its FHP Reentry Pilot Program. He said that the Center for Housing and Health will provide rental subsidies and case management services to individuals leaving the Illinois Department of Corrections and returning to their communities. He said that the FHP Reentry Pilot Program services will be provided to those individuals who: a) are in need of housing , who are currently being held past their Mandatory Supervised Release date , b) living with chronic diseases, c) Murphy Class members who have sex offenses in their backgrounds that preclude traditional transitional host site placement and are not allowed to parole to homeless shelters and d) those at risk of parole violation for losing their host site/home for any number of reasons.
Motion: Ms. Kramer moved to approve the recommended SFY26 FHP designation. Ms. Hokenson seconded the motion.
Voice Vote: The motion was passed by a unanimous voice vote.
4. Home Illinois Program (End and Prevent Homelessness for Returning Citizens Pilot Program)
Mr. Nesbitt said that The SFY26 budget has an appropriation of $5 million for the Home Illinois Program (HIP), from the General Revenue Fund to the ICJIA for grants and administrative expenses, including pilot programs to prevent and end homelessness in Illinois. He said that these funds are not limited for use in homelessness prevention, emergency and transitional housing, rapid rehousing, as well as outreach, related services and supports for individuals at risk of experiencing homelessness. He said that a total of $5 million has been designated in the SFY26 state budget to support two targeted pilot programs: TASC -Return Home Illinois Pilot Program: $3 million, and Live Free Illinois -Women’s Dignity of Choice Pilot Program: $2 million. He said that both programs aim to provide housing and supportive services to returning citizens, accompanied by an evaluation component to assess outcomes and program impact.
TASC – Return Home Illinois (RHI) Pilot Program
Mr. Nesbitt said that TASC will lead the RHI pilot, focusing on individuals returning from the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) to Parole Districts 3 and 4, encompassing Sangamon, Madison, and St. Clair counties in Central and Southern Illinois. He said that these individuals often face compounded barriers to reentry, including serious mental illness, arson convictions, and placement on the sex offender registry, factors that traditionally exclude them from many housing and support services. He said that the pilot will serve 60 individuals, providing: permanent supportive housing, specialized case management tailored to co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, and comprehensive wraparound services, including behavioral health treatment, peer support, employment assistance, and linkage to public benefits.
Mr. Nesbitt said that the program is guided by Housing First principles and a trauma informed, person-centered approach that prioritizes stability, safety, and reintegration. TASC will also implement: a flexible landlord incentive package, a structured eligibility and referral process, and a secure customized Electronic Client Record (ECR) system to track progress and coordinate services. He said that TASC will dedicate part of the funding to a research and evaluation component to monitor outcomes and assess program effectiveness.
Live Free Illinois – Women’s Dignity of Choice (WD of C) Pilot Program
Mr. Nesbitt said that Live Free Illinois will implement the Women’s Dignity of Choice pilot program, to support formerly incarcerated women returning to the South and West sides of Chicago. He said that the program will focus on women: Aged 18 to 45, formerly incarcerated within the past two years (IDOC or Cook County Jail), who have children under age 18 (or up to 19 if the child has a disability) Program Goals and Services will include :serve up to 50 women in SFY26, with a target to reach 100 women over 24 months, Provide rental assistance, transitional wages, and financial support, facilitate employment training, job placement, childcare, and mental health care, Live Free will establish an ecosystem of service providers via Subaward partners to deliver gender-responsive, wraparound supports. He said that the pilot will also include a formal evaluation component to assess impact and inform future replication or expansion.
Mr. Nesbitt said that the state’s Grants and Accountability and Transparency Unit approved a deviation from the typical notice of funding opportunity process to allow this direct funding. He said that staff recommends designating 5 million in appropriated SFY26 HIP (End and Prevent Homelessness for Returning Citizens funds) to the listed grantees below to support 12 months of programming.
| AGENCY NAME | SFY26 |
| TASC | $3,000,000 |
| Live Free Illinois | $2,000,000 |
| TOTAL | $5,000,000 |
Voice Vote: The motion was passed by a unanimous voice vote, with recusals by Mr. Dramé and Mr. Olson.
5. Less Lethal Alternatives for Law Enforcement
Mr. Stevens said that in SFY23, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority was appropriated $20 million in Less Lethal Alternatives (LLA) funding for law enforcement grants to support less lethal devices, less lethal device training, other less lethal weapon alternatives, and associated administrative expenses. He said that at its August 17, 2023, Budget Committee Meeting, the Committee approved a designation to the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS) to serve as a lead entity for less lethal alternatives for law enforcement grants. He said that ILEAS is a public agency that facilitates mutual aid law enforcement responses and has experience in grant management and equipment procurement and distribution.
Mr. Stevens said that staff recommends designating the full $5 million SFY26 LLA appropriation to the ILEAS to serve as a lead entity for less lethal alternatives for law enforcement grants. He said that ILEAS will distribute equipment and funds to subgrantees and be responsible for the fiscal oversight and programmatic assurance of its subgrants. He said that these grant funds are intended to advance effective, safe, and accountable policing and enhance public trust and public safety.
Motion: Ms. Kramer moved to approve the recommended SFY26 LLA designation. Mr. Olson seconded the motion.
Voice Vote: The motion was passed by a unanimous voice vote.
6. Statewide Deferred Prosecution Program
Ms. Woods said that staff at the June 20, 2024, meeting, the Committee approved staff’s designation recommendation for Winnebago County’s Statewide Deferred Prosecution Program using FY25 General Revenue Funds. She said that the DIVERT program continued the implementation of both diversion and deferred prosecution programs that occur at the pre-trial or prosecution phase. She said that the program aims to: (1) hold those who commit crimes accountable for their actions, (2) reduce recidivism; and (3) effective resource allocation within the criminal justice system. She said that staff now recommends designating $278,738 in SFY26 General Revenue funds to Winnebago County for the continued implementation of the DIVERT program. She said that GATU approved a deviation request by ICJIA to pilot this program with the Winnebago County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Ms. Woods said that the contractual category of Winnebago County’s budget includes funding for an evaluation conducted by Loyola University Chicago, Center for Urban Research and will be used to determine the most effective method for programming and will inform a SFY26 statewide Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).
Ms. Woods said that in addition, staff is recommending using $750,000 plus $150,000 in one-time startup costs to issue a NOFO for the Statewide Deferred Prosecution program in the first quarter of SFY26. She said that the program period is scheduled to begin January 1, 2026. She said that designation recommendations resulting from this funding opportunity will be presented at a future Budget Committee meeting.
Motion: Ms. Danko moved to approve the recommended SFY26 SDP designation. Ms. Kramer seconded the motion.
Voice Vote: The motion was passed by a unanimous voice vote, with a recusal by Mr. Olson.
7. Restore, Reinvest, and Renew
Ms. Williams said that ICJIA has been committed to promoting sustainability and capacity building for Restore, Reinvest, and Renew (R3) grantees. She said that to that end, ICJIA has focused on providing consistent, multi-year funding under the terms of the notices of funding opportunity to allow grantees to fully carry out their scope of work.
Ms. Williams said that at the August 2024 Budget Committee Meeting, this committee approved Cohort Three R3 grant recommendations totaling $35,862,532. She said that ICJIA staff now recommends approving designations that extend the Cohort Three grant period for another two years for eligible grantees. She said that this extension is fully compliant with GATA guidelines and offers program stability to existing grantees. She said that grant monitoring will continue to ensure that program requirements are met, and expenditures and program activities are in line with each program’s grant agreement.
Ms. Williams said that staff recommends designated up to $30,809,632 in SFY 26 and $33,712,616 in SFY 27 R3 funds to be entities listed below. She said that if these designation revisions are approved by the Budget Committee, they will be presented to the R3 Board for final approval on July 29, 2025. She said that award amounts may ultimately be lower than the full designation amount due to program design and cost allowability.
Ms. Williams said that as part of the legislation of adult-use cannabis in Illinois, the Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act established the Restore, Reinvest, and Renew (R3) program to “directly address the impact of economic disinvestment, violence, and the historical overuse of the criminal justice responses to community and individual needs by providing resources to support local design and control of community-based responses to these impacts; to substantially reduce both the total amount of gun violence and concentrated poverty in this State; to protect communities from gun violence through targeted investments and intervention programs…[and] to promote employment infrastructure and capacity building related to the social determinants of health in the eligible community areas.”(Illinois HB1438, Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, 2019- 2020)
Ms. Williams said that the R3 Board established the eligible areas based on several factors, including rates of gun violence, child poverty, unemployment, and commitments to and returns from the Illinois Department of Corrections. She said that only areas identified as R3 zones based on these indicators were eligible for R3 funding. She said that all projects funded under the R3 program must address at least one of these program priorities: economic development, civil legal aid, violence prevention, reentry and youth development.
Ms. Williams said that staff recommended designating SFY26 and anticipated SFY27 funds as described in the table below.

8. Victims of Crime Act
Ms. Hailey said that at the Budget Committee meeting on December 13, 2023, Heartland Human Care Services was designated $200,000 in Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds for their Human Trafficking program. She said that Heartland’s program did not start until late in the program period and as a result, at our BC meeting in February 2025, staff requested to rescind the unspent grant funds. She said that after recently reconciling the program’s expenses, staff has discovered that the amount rescinded was too much. She said that staff recommended a reinstatement of $35,500 to cover the amount of their FY25 expenses.
Motion: Ms. Kramer moved to approve the recommended VOCA FFY22 designation reduction. Ms. Danko seconded the motion.
