Reinvesting in Community: Criminal Justice Investment Initiative 2021 Annual Report

Established in 2014 by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, the Criminal Justice Investment Initiative is a $250 million initiative to create a model of what holistic public safety could look like. The 2021 annual report shows that CJII has provided transformative support for thou­sands of people in New York by making significant community-based investments to keep people out of the criminal legal system and help make New York City safer.

This annual report summarizes the impact to date of CJII investments in three key areas:

  1. Supporting youth and families

  2. Supporting survivors of crime

  3. Enhancing diversion and reentry support for people involved in the criminal legal system

CJII’s comprehensive approach to public safety shows how investments in community-based initiatives increase opportunities, strengthen supports, heal prior trauma and injustice, and contribute to a stronger, safer city. CJII-funded programs have directly supported more than 32,000 people in New York City. In addition, these programs have engaged at least 55,000 additional people in one-time workshops and trainings.
