    The specific objective of the contribution stream is to provide funding to eligible recipients to create or expand application support services for individuals with criminal records looking to apply for a record suspension. Ultimately, the objective of JHS NL’s project is to successfully guide clients through the application process and effectively increase the number of individuals being awarded record suspensions annually which will lead to more successful reintegration and increased community functioning. With funding, JHS NL proposes their additional employees will minimize waitlists for clients, increase utilization of the Record Suspension Program within the province and will contribute to the successful receipt of a record suspension for eligible clients in a timely manner. According to JHS NL, the proposed project is “crucial for supporting reintegration” of clients who may feel that a criminal record has negatively affected their employment, housing opportunities, and their status in the community. Ultimately JHS NL proposes that individuals impacted from having a criminal record may be more likely to have long lasting impacts on their mental health, substance use and/or possible recidivism. Therefore, these individuals would benefit from the services to help them attain a record suspension and break the stigma, discrimination and disadvantages that may come from having a criminal record. Of the eligible outcomes listed in the terms and conditions, JHS NL has indicated they intend on fulfilling the following: Immediate Outcomes: · Increased knowledge and understanding for decision-making in Canada’s criminal justice and corrections systems. · Shared knowledge and awareness leading to enhanced delivery of services, such as dissemination of information. · Contribution recipients have the capacity to administer support services for pardon application assistance through program funding. Intermediate Outcomes: · Increased capacity of NVOs to fulfill their mandates. · Contribution recipients implement support services for pardon application assistance through program funding. Long-Term Outcomes: · Individuals with criminal records are using supports provided by government-funded projects. Canada’s federal corrections and criminal justice system rehabilitates and reintegrates offenders.

    Grâce au financement, JHS NL propose que l’embauche de personnel supplémentaire permette de réduire les listes d’attente pour les clients, d’augmenter l’utilisation du Programme de suspension du casier dans la province et de contribuer à l’obtention, en temps opportun, d’une suspension du casier pour les clients admissibles. Selon JHS NL, le projet proposé est « crucial pour soutenir la réinsertion » des clients qui estiment qu’un casier judiciaire a eu des répercussions négatives sur leurs possibilités d’emploi et de logement, ainsi que sur leur statut au sein de la collectivité. En définitive, JHS NL avance que les personnes touchées par les conséquences d’un casier judiciaire sont plus susceptibles de subir des répercussions à long terme sur leur santé mentale, leur consommation de substances et/ou de présenter un risque accru de récidive. Par conséquent, ces personnes bénéficieraient de services visant à les aider à obtenir une suspension du casier et à briser la stigmatisation, la discrimination et les désavantages associés à la détention d’un casier judiciaire. Parmi les résultats admissibles énumérés dans les modalités du Programme, JHS NL a indiqué son intention d’atteindre les résultats suivants : Résultats immédiats : Connaissances et compréhension accrues pour appuyer la prise de décisions au sein des systèmes de justice pénale et correctionnel du Canada. Partage des connaissances et sensibilisation menant à une amélioration de la prestation des services, notamment par la diffusion de l’information. Les bénéficiaires de contributions disposent de la capacité nécessaire pour administrer des services de soutien à l’aide aux demandes de pardon grâce au financement du Programme. Résultats intermédiaires : Capacité accrue des organismes à but non lucratif (OBNL) à remplir leur mandat. Les bénéficiaires de contributions mettent en œuvre des services de soutien à l’aide aux demandes de pardon grâce au financement du Programme. Résultats à long terme : Les personnes ayant un casier judiciaire utilisent les services de soutien offerts par des projets financés par le gouvernement. Le système correctionnel fédéral et le système de justice pénale du Canada assurent la réadaptation et la réinsertion des délinquants.
