Council of State Governments Justice Center

The Council of State Governments Justice Center helps leaders address complex justice challenges through research, technical assistance, and collaboration focused on safer, healthier communities. Its work covers criminal justice policy, public safety, behavioral health, youth justice, victims’ services, and reentry.

The Justice Center examines connections between justice involvement and housing stability, including barriers faced by people leaving jail or prison and those with behavioral health needs. It also supports improved access to victim services, restitution, and victim compensation, while developing reentry resources related to housing, employment, family connections, health care, and community supports.
