Kevin G. Ritz, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, has announced two federal grants will be awarded to area nonprofits. Lifeline to Success, which helps men and women with serious felony convictions transition back to society, will receive $500,000. The funding will be used to support the organization’s new rehabilitation center, Welch Home for Success, and a 12-month demonstration program offering peer support, therapeutic and mental health services, job training and life coaching to reduce recidivism and support long-term success. In addition, West Tennessee Legal Services in Jackson will receive $600,000 to provide legal services and improve coordination of justice systems impacting survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
