recidivism in at-risk communities

BOARD OF STATE AND COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS AWARDS $6M to PVJOBS

The California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) has approved a $6 million grant to be awarded to PVJOBS as part of a statewide effort to break the cycle of violence, gang activity and recidivism in at-risk communities. PVJOBS will utilize the funds to expand its services to those with barriers to employment due to such at-risk factors as a history with the justice system and gang involvement.
