Families in Criminal Justice received a grant to go towards program expenses that support the critical relationships between FCJ participants and practitioners. These include telephone and internet access costs, printing and duplication costs and home visitor mileage. Families and Criminal Justice operates under the fiscal sponsorship of Special Services for Groups. They were founded with the mission of preventing inter-generational crime and incarceration. Their goal is optimal health and development among the youngest children of families involved in the criminal justice system. Families and Criminal Justice also received a grant from the Leo Buscaglia Foundation in November 2016.
