Opportunity Information: Apply for BJA 2018 13636
The BJA FY 18 Second Chance Act Statewide Adult Recidivism Reduction Strategic Plan Implementation Program (SRR Implementation Program), funding opportunity number BJA 2018 13636, is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). It was created on June 4, 2018, with an original application deadline of July 5, 2018. The program sits under CFDA 16.812 and is designed to support statewide efforts that improve outcomes for adults returning to the community after incarceration.
The central purpose of the SRR Implementation Program is implementation. It is specifically aimed at helping state agencies put into action strategic plans that were already developed previously, rather than funding the creation of new plans. Through a combination of funding resources and technical assistance, the program is intended to help states strengthen reentry systems, coordinate services more effectively, and reduce recidivism among people released from prisons and other incarceration settings. In practice, this means supporting evidence-informed changes to policies, programs, partnerships, and service delivery that can improve public safety and help individuals successfully reintegrate.
Awards under this opportunity were capped at an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award, and BJA anticipated making about three awards. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the listed funding activity categories reflect the cross-cutting nature of reentry work, including education, employment and training, law/justice/legal services, and related areas that often intersect with rehabilitation and community stabilization.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation materials, but the description makes clear the intended applicants are state agencies. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted Second Chance Act investment in statewide implementation capacity: helping states operationalize reentry and recidivism-reduction strategies at scale, with the goal of producing measurable improvements in reentry systems and reductions in repeat justice involvement.Apply for BJA 2018 13636
