NOFO #2827-0925 Statewide Deferred Prosecution Funding Programs

The State of Illinois is offering grants to State's Attorneys to operate deferred prosecution programs for misdemeanor offenses. The goal of these programs is to allow individuals charged with non-violent misdemeanors to have their charges dismissed upon successful completion of the program. The grant funding will be used to support the implementation and operation of these programs. Key aspects of this opportunity include: • Eligibility is limited to State's Attorneys' Offices in Illinois that are in good standing with the GATA pre-qualification and ICQ submission for the current state fiscal year. • The grant funding will be awarded on a competitive basis, with the highest scored proposals being selected. • The grant agreement will include specific conditions resulting from pre-award risk assessments. • Recipients will be required to submit periodic financial and performance reports.
