About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is seeking grant applications for the FY24 Second Chance Act Improving Reentry Education and Employment Outcomes program. This funding opportunity aims to support reentry services and programs focused on strengthening education and employment outcomes for individuals returning to their communities after a period of incarceration. Eligible applicants include tribal governments, state and local governments, non-profit organizations, and special district governments. The key objectives of this grant include reducing recidivism and improving outcomes for formerly incarcerated individuals through the provision of services such as education, employment assistance, substance abuse treatment, mental health services, and housing support. Applications will be evaluated based on the strength of the proposed program design and its alignment with the stated goals. The deadline to submit applications is July 11, 2024.
Recent awards under the broader Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative have typically ranged from $500,000 to $1.5 million over 2-4 year periods. The places of performance for funded programs may include correctional facilities, community-based organizations, and service areas across the United States where formerly incarcerated individuals are returning.
