Community Reinvestment Project

Harriet Tubman Foundation

The Community Reinvestment Plan, authored by Dr. Jesse Miller and The Harriet Tubman Foundation for Safe Passage (HTFFSP), dedicates $200 million over two years to support communities disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs. This initiative targets four key areas: economic development, legal assistance, community-based violence intervention and prevention, and reentry services, all aimed at addressing the racial, economic, and social disparities resulting from historical drug policies and mass incarceration.

The plan’s implementation is a collaborative effort involving the Department of Commerce, the Office of Equity, the Employment Security Department, the Office of Civil Legal Aid, and the Governor’s Office of Indian Affairs. HTFFSP and its community partners play a crucial role in ensuring funds are allocated effectively and community voices are central to the process.

Together, these efforts seek to reinvest in marginalized communities, promoting long-term equity and justice throughout Washington State.
