Now that the cuts to alternatives to incarceration and reentry have been restored to the FY 25 levels and the points of agreement lists ATI as a priority to close Rikers, Is there any plan to expand funding for these programs in the coming years?

So through the through the restoration to the FY 20 five levels, we are able to keep all of our providers whole and maintain the current services within ATI.

We continue to conduct research and work with our research and development teams to make sure that we understand the needs of ATI.
