Alliance for Safety and Justice submitted public comment to the U.S. Department of Treasury on its Interim Final Rule for the American Rescue Plan Act’s State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to recommend the inclusion of language that ensures states: 1) can explicitly use the funding to support crime victims, including for trauma recovery and other services; and 2) promote a public-health based recovery by discouraging use of the funds for expenses that undermine social determinants of health, such as incarceration.
Alliance for Safety and Justice is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
