The Tampa Bay Academy of Hope (TBAH), a non-profit organization in Florida, was awarded a $900,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative (CFDA #16.812). The grant will fund the implementation of the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills (JOBS) program, which aims to provide an evidence-based and data-informed approach to delivering meaningful opportunities, interrupting the cycle of unemployment, improving economic mobility, and promoting reentry success for 150 formerly incarcerated adults returning to Hillsborough and Polk County, Florida. The JOBS program will include case management, job/life coaching, apprenticeship opportunities, sustainable employment, transitional support services, and structured family and community support to reduce recidivism, enhance employment and economic mobility prospects, and strengthen the capacities of families and reentry agencies to serve the critical needs of the returning citizens. The award period is from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2026.
