BREAKING NEWS: THE NEXT DOOR HONORED  AS OUTSTANDING SOUTHERN CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAM FOR 2008

The Next Door was honored on August 5, 2008 by the National Criminal Justice Association as the "Outstanding Southern Criminal Justice Program" for the year. NCJA's Outstanding Criminal Justice Program Awards recognize programs representing four regions across the U.S. that:

  • Address an important criminal justice issue;
  • Have demonstrated effectiveness based on program goals
  • Set a good example of use of federal funds to initiate the program and of subsequent support from state or local appropriations; and
  • Can be easily replicated in other jurisdictions.

 

The Next Door provides
HOPE and HEALING to
women in crisis.

The Next Door was nominated for this award by our encouragers and partners in the Tennessee Office of Criminal Justice Programs. We are extremely grateful not just for their ongoing support of the work of The Next Door but also for the confidence they expressed in us by presenting us as a nominee to their colleagues across the country. Eleven TND staff members were able to attend the National Criminal Justice Association's national convention in Louisville, Kentucky to receive this prestigious award.
