Saint Paul, MN — This grant builds on a previous Community Innovation grant aimed at expanding and embedding an innovative partnership model between community members and juvenile justice system leaders to transform Ramsey County justice system practices. With this grant, Oyate Hotanin will help Ramsey County expand alternatives to detention through community-based restorative justice strategies, as well as explore increasing the criminal categories that are eligible for this alternative pathway. The goal is to launch this work in Ramsey County, with the intention of implementing it in nearby tribal communities.
