Reclaiming Futures Call for Proposals

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation issued a call for proposals to add up to 6 new sites for its Reclaiming Futures program.
Reclaiming Futures is a new approach to helping young people in trouble with drugs, alcohol, and crime. We have 10 sites throughout the United States that are reinventing the way police, courts, detention facilities, treatment providers, and the community work together to meet this urgent need.

We are a five-year, $21 million initiative of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Our mission is to promote new opportunities and standards of care in juvenile justice.

In addition to our 10 pilot projects, we are providing technical assistance to a small number of communities in the southeastern United States, developing judicial and community leadership, and disseminating research findings.

After five years, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation will take its findings from Reclaiming Futures and create model solutions for communities across the country.
