This bill supplements the Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations act to provide $2.5 million in supplemental funding to the not-for-profit organization Salvation and Social Justice. Specifically, the supplemental funding is provided to Salvation and Social Justice's Trenton Restorative Street Team (TRST) to operate the "Return and Restore" program. According to the sponsor, TRST aims to work with formerly incarcerated individuals to reduce gang-related activities, gun violence, and the likelihood of recidivism. To advance the Return and Restore pilot program, Salvation and Social Justice seeks $2.5 million to provide comprehensive supportive services for hard-to-reach, corrections system-involved individuals, in Trenton. TRST team includes trained outreach workers, counselors, intervention specialists, community organizers, former gang members, and formerly incarcerated individuals from Trenton. The main goal is to mediate conflicts, deescalate tensions, and prevent acts of violence from occurring in schools and in communities.
