Grants and Contributions:
The specific objective of the contribution stream is to provide funding to eligible recipients to create or expand application support services for individuals with criminal records looking to apply for a record suspension.
Ultimately, JHS TB’s goal is to assist individuals with record suspension applications and increase their likelihood of successfully attaining a record suspension. The results of receiving a record suspension for an individual with a criminal record include
the removal of barriers and further supports successful reintegration of people who have been incarcerated back into the community through access to adequate and ongoing resources, as well as employment opportunities to lessen the likelihood of their reoffending.
Additionally, JHS TB and their partners propose their project will add to the greater Ontario project which will provide the opportunity to disseminate knowledge and produce educational materials to not only other JHS organizations but other organizations in general. Ultimately, they propose this dissemination of information will lead to increased knowledge and understanding of how Canada’s federal corrections and criminal justice system rehabilitates and reintegrates individuals.
