Our Office awarded $3 million to The Fortune Society, an organization that supports reentry and alternative-to-incarceration services, to create a network of Court Navigators that support New Yorkers with deeply entrenched needs. Court-Based Navigators build trusting relationships with individuals arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court who may have a mental illness or substance use disorder and may be in need of immediate resources or individualized treatment.
In the first five months of the program’s launch, the Court-Based Navigators placed 50 individuals into stable housing, provided meals 381 times, distributed 68 hygiene kits, and made 44 education and employment referrals.
