Category B Eligibility

NJLEAD Category B is the transitional housing and wraparound services tier — the highest funding level for community-based nonprofits. To qualify, organizations must serve individuals returning from NJ state corrections, provide 24/7 transitional housing placement, and deliver at minimum: counseling, employment readiness, education support, and family reunification services.

Why TRI Qualifies: Active FY25 awardee. Zero compliance violations. 100% on-time reporting. Proven 2-tier housing placement model. All required wraparound services in operation. Executive Director Malika McCall's lived reentry experience and 15-year organizational track record meet all NJDOC eligibility criteria.

Funding Range: $250,000–$350,000. TRI is requesting $340,000. The $350,000 ceiling requires a prior-year award exceeding $300,000 (possible FY27 target).

Submission Deadline: February 25, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST.
