This grant from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) supports states in developing comprehensive plans to reduce adult recidivism. It addresses complex offender reentry challenges for millions released from various correctional facilities, including Native American tribal members. 12-month planning grants will help states establish decision-making processes, supervision strategies, and coordinated service plans for housing, health, employment, and education. The goal is a Statewide Recidivism Reduction Strategic Plan to lower the state’s recidivism rate. Completion makes states eligible for competitive implementation grants ($1-3 million).

| Description: | The Second Chance Act (Pub. L. 110-199) seeks a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and return to their communities. There are currently over 2.2 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The coordination of reentry services for members of Native American tribes is even more complex given that they can return from federal, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state, local, and tribal facilities. The Second Chance Act Programs are designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by offender reentry and recidivism reduction.Developing a reentry approach for reducing recidivism is extremely challenging for even the most sophisticated correctional agency, requiring access to data and service delivery and coordination from multiple systems, including housing, health, employment, education, etc. This solicitation will provide funding for 12-month planning grants during which time state-level participants will convene and work to develop and finalize 1) decision-making processes, 2) supervision strategies, and 3) service quality and coordination plans to achieve a reduction in the states historical baseline recidivism rate. Upon the completion of the Statewide Recidivism Reduction Strategic Plan, states will be invited by BJA to submit applications for implementation grants from between $1-$3 million. Future funding decisions for implementation grants will be competitive and will consider the quality and comprehensiveness of the Statewide Recidivism Reduction Strategic Plan.Funding is authorized under the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013, Pub. L. 113-6, 127 Stat. 198, 253. |
