About this program
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance administers the Prisoner Reentry Initiative Demonstration (CFDA 16.202), which funds pre-release assessments, transition planning, and community reentry services for non-violent offenders returning from incarceration, with the most recent grant award issued September 1, 2008—18 years ago. This program is currently inactive; no grant opportunities are posted, and no awards have been disbursed since 2008, ending a period of concentrated activity that peaked at 23 awards in 2007 and 20 in 2008.
Between 2002 and 2008, the Bureau of Justice Assistance distributed 68 Project Grants and one Cooperative Agreement totaling 38.3 million dollars in federal obligations. The combined federal and non-federal share reached $47.1 million, indicating recipients contributed approximately $8.8 million in matching funds. Awards were predominantly Project Grants (99 percent), with typical individual awards in the $600 thousand to $750 thousand range in the 2007–2008 cycle, though the program also funded some larger awards such as a $1.8 million grant in 2006 and a $1.565 million Community Action Re-Entry Project grant in 2007. Smaller awards from the 2004–2006 period ranged from roughly $450 thousand to $900 thousand.
Representative awarded projects funded pre- and post-release programming, case management, wraparound services, mental health components, and collaborative reentry partnerships across multiple jurisdictions. Examples include Nashville Works ($740,088), the Colorado Prisoner Reentry Initiative ($720,000), and the Michigan Prisoner Reentry Initiative–Genesee County ($720,000), all awarded in 2008 with two-year performance periods. Earlier cycles funded projects such as the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (multiple awards in 2002) and the Iowa Prisoner Reentry Initiative ($916,000 in 2007).
This program should be evaluated as dormant. While it demonstrates sustained federal investment in offender reentry over a six-year period, the complete absence of activity since 2008 and lack of any posted solicitations indicate the program is no longer an active funding vehicle.
Objective and description
- Objective
The Offender Reentry Initiative (Reentry Grant Program) is a combined federal effort to assist jurisdictions in facing the challenges presented by the return of offenders from prison to the community. The goal is to support the effective delivery of pre-release assessments and services, and to develop transition plans in collaboration with other justice and community-based agencies and providers, for supervised and non-supervised non-violent offenders. The current initiative addresses the continuing problem of offenders entering the community after incarceration with little or no surveillance, accountability, or resource investment.
