​​Beginning in 2013, the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services developed a cost-benefit analysis, based on an initial technical report, to outline the impact, costs, and benefits of specific criminal justice interventions. As a result of these efforts, New York has continued to operate Alternatives to Incarceration and Re-entry programs, a $43 million initiative in 2023-2024, to support evidence-based interventions.

Governor Kathy Hochul allocated $75 million to the State University of New York (SUNY) Transformation Fund in the FY 2024 budget. With this investment, 25 SUNY campuses will replicate the City University of New York (CUNY) Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP), which dramatically increases associate degree completion, and Accelerate, Complete, and Engage (ACE), which is the baccalaureate version of ASAP.​
