JEFFERSON CITY, MO - Governor Matt Blunt announced that the Missouri Department of Corrections has received more than $1.4 million in federal grants. "Taking advantage of available grants is yet another way we are working to stretch taxpayers' hard earned money as far as possible," Blunt said. "I applaud the Department of Corrections for working to secure these grants to help offset state expenses." The department secured a $900,000 Prisoner Reentry Initiative grant that will provide pre-release reentry services for at least 400 offenders during the next two years. It will fund four reentry specialists and four substance abuse specialists within the Missouri Prisoner Reentry (MPR) Initiative Project. The specialists will work with offenders in several transitional housing units across the state. The grant funding will also provide stipends to Connections to Success in Kansas City and the St. Patrick Center in St. Louis for travel expenses for mentors traveling to designated transitional housing units.Read more.
