The U.S. Department of Labor haa awarded 30 grants totaling $19.8 million to faith- and community-based organizations to assist non-violent ex-offenders returning to their local communities. The grants were awarded under the Prisoner Re-entry Initiative grant competition and are designed to serve urban centers and areas of greatest need.

The Prisoner Re-entry Initiative is designed to help strengthen urban communities and assist ex-prisoners re-entering the community through an employment-based program that incorporates housing, mentoring, job training and other services.
