The creation of the Restore, Reinvest and Renew (R3) program marked an unprecedented milestone in the State of Illinois: a commitment to addressing decades of underinvestment and harm caused by the war on drugs. In January 2021, the First round of R3 funds provided $31.5 million to 80 grantees and their collaborative partners, providing services in the areas of civil legal aid, economic development, reentry, violence prevention, and youth development.
