The term ex-offender means an individual who requires assistance in overcoming barriers to employment resulting from a record of arrest or conviction for a crime under Federal, State, local, or Tribal law. The term place-based model means an investment initiative that seeks to leverage national service programs to expand the services available within a specific geographic location, to build the capacity of community organizations to provide those services, and to establish a community-wide culture of service and volunteerism.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation for National and Community Service may conduct, during the 3-year period beginning on October 1, 2024, up to 5 demonstration projects to assess the feasibility and advisability of novel approaches to and focus areas of national service, with at least one demonstration project focused on developing a place-based model and at least one demonstration project supporting the reintegration of ex-offenders. There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out the demonstration projects under subsection (b), including for salaries and expenses related to such projects.
