The Grant Team at the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles researches, identifies, and applies for federal, state, and local grants to explore innovative approaches to community supervision. The grants below are currently active at ABPP:
- The COSMOSS (Helping Co-Occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Health Offenders Find Supportive Service) grant was received in 2019 and is a four-year, $1 million award to improve coordination and service delivery to targeted subpopulations of offenders in Alabama Department of Corrections prisons who suffer from both substance abuse and mental illness. The mission of COSMOSS is to sustain the delivery of services to individuals as they are released from ADOC custody.
- The Comprehensive Opioid Stimulant and Substance Site-Based Program (COSSUP) grant is a partnership with the Alabama Department of Mental Health and provides offenders with substance use and/or mental health treatment.
- The Responsive Monitoring Program (RM) was made possible through a Swift, Certain, and Fair grant received in 2021 from the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Its main focus incorporates the use of GPS monitoring on violent sex offenders.
