About this opportunity

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under the Department of Justice, is soliciting applications to deliver family-based substance use disorder treatment and recovery support services for parents with substance use disorders who have minor children or are pregnant and are under correctional control. Eligible applicants include state, local, and tribal governments; 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations; and special district governments. Programs may be implemented in jail, prison, or as alternatives to incarceration, with the primary objective of reducing recidivism and improving reentry outcomes for parents and their children. Award decisions will be made based on merit, programmatic, budget, and risk reviews as specified in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), with applications due by May 8, 2026. The Assistant Attorney General will make final award determinations, and selected applicants must accept or decline their award within 45 days of notification through the JustGrants system.

Federal grant awards under the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative typically range from approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000 over three-year periods, with cooperative agreements potentially reaching up to $4,000,000 over five-year periods. Performance periods generally extend 36 to 48 months, allowing organizations sufficient time to implement comprehensive treatment interventions and measure outcomes. Services will be delivered across correctional facilities, community-based settings, and alternative-to-incarceration programs nationwide. Award recipients must retain all project records for three years from the date of their final expenditure report submission and comply with applicable audit requirements and Department of Justice financial regulations.

Synopsis

This NOFO will provide funding to deliver treatment and recovery support services for parents with substance use disorders (SUD), who have minor children or are pregnant, and are under correctional control in facility or community-based setting. State, local, and tribal governments and nonprofit organizations may apply for funding to provide family-based SUD treatment programs in jail, in prison, or as part of an alternative to incarceration to reduce recidivism and improve reentry and other related outcomes for the parent and their children.
