Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for New Hampshire's Incarcerated Parents Grant Program
The Grants To Respond To The Needs Of Incarcerated Parents With Young Children program, funded by a Banking Institution, aims to support activities that foster positive family engagement between incarcerated parents and their children within detention and correctional facilities in New Hampshire. The New Hampshire Department of Corrections, a key state agency, plays a vital role in implementing this program. A primary priority outcome is to strengthen family bonds and mitigate the adverse effects of parental incarceration on children's well-being.
New Hampshire's unique demographic feature - its rural landscape and dispersed population - presents distinct challenges in delivering services to incarcerated parents and their children. The state's correctional facilities, such as the New Hampshire State Prison for Men and the New Hampshire State Prison for Women, are located in various regions, requiring tailored approaches to reach these families. To address this, the grant program prioritizes outcomes that focus on accessibility and flexibility in service delivery.
Targeted Outcomes and Metrics
The grant program targets three primary outcomes:
- Improved parent-child relationships through facilitated visitation and communication programs. Research has shown that regular, meaningful interactions between incarcerated parents and their children can significantly reduce recidivism rates and improve child well-being (New Hampshire Housing Grants have supported some initiatives in this area).
- Enhanced parenting skills among incarcerated individuals through evidence-based programming. New Hampshire's correctional facilities will be supported in developing curricula that address the unique needs of young fathers and parents.
- Increased access to resources and support services for families affected by incarceration. This includes connecting families with local non-profits and service providers that can offer assistance with housing, employment, and other essential needs (some of which are supported by New Hampshire Charitable Foundation Grants).
To measure the success of these outcomes, grantees will be required to track and report on key metrics, including the number of participants served, program engagement rates, and feedback from participants. The New Hampshire Department of Corrections will work closely with grantees to ensure data collection and reporting requirements are met.
The prioritization of these outcomes is driven by the state's specific context. New Hampshire's economy, with a strong presence of small businesses (many of which have benefited from NH Business Grants and NH Grants for Small Business), is impacted by the recidivism rates and the overall well-being of its residents. By focusing on the needs of incarcerated parents with young children, the grant program aims to contribute to a more stable and prosperous community.
New Hampshire's grant program will also explore innovative approaches to serving incarcerated parents, drawing on lessons from other states such as Kentucky, Oklahoma, and South Carolina, which have implemented similar programs. The program's emphasis on flexibility and adaptability will allow it to respond effectively to the unique challenges and opportunities present in New Hampshire.
Implementation and Evaluation
The grant program's success will be evaluated based on the achievement of the targeted outcomes and the effectiveness of grantees in reaching and serving the target population. The Banking Institution, in partnership with the New Hampshire Department of Corrections, will provide technical assistance and support to grantees to ensure they have the necessary resources to succeed.
Grantees will be expected to leverage their expertise and resources to develop and implement programs that are responsive to the needs of incarcerated parents and their children in New Hampshire. By working together, the grant program aims to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these families and contribute to the overall well-being of the state's residents.
