Center for Court Innovation is dedicated to creating effective, humane justice systems. Its work includes the creation of Project Reset, a diversion program for people charged with minor offenses. The program operates in four NYC boroughs, including Brooklyn. This funding will support Project Reset in Staten Island, which launched remotely in May 2020. It will also support the planning and launch of three new initiatives: a restorative justice program in Manhattan and Queens for homicide cases (the first in the nation); a program to address vehicular offenses that result in serious injury or death; and training for Bronx community members as restorative justice peacemakers in cases of interpersonal violence.
