Trinity Church recently awarded a $525,000 grant to BMCC’S Project Impact, which supports students who were formerly incarcerated. The church wanted to expand their work with New Yorkers impacted by the justice system, since research shows that people who participate in postsecondary education while incarcerated have a 48 percent lower chance of returning to prison, underscoring the growing role colleges can play in supporting successful reentry and long-term economic mobility.
