Additional Information on Eligibility: Applicants are limited to states, territories, units of local government (including federally-recognized Indian tribal governments as determined by the Secretary of the Interior). Applicants must adhere to all eligibility and funding requirements of the Second Chance Act (42 U.S.C. 3797w). OJJDP welcomes joint applications from two or more eligible applicants; however, one applicant must be clearly indicated as the primary applicant (for correspondences, award, and management purposes) and the others indicated as co-applicants. Targeted youth must be admitted to the program prior to their 18th birthday. However, award recipients may continue to implement a reentry plan for these individuals beyond their 18th birthday. OJJDP does not have a set timeline for terminating these services, but instead, they can continue as long as is deemed therapeutically necessary. The target population for the initiative must be a specific medium- to high-risk subset of the population of individuals currently confined in secure confinement facilities, such as a juvenile detention center, juvenile correctional facility or staff-secure facility. For federally-recognized Indian tribes, the individuals may be housed in a tribal, regional, county, or local detention center pursuant to state or tribal law. Applicants must identify and define the specific subset of offenders, or combination of subsets, that they propose to be the target population of their project. For example, jurisdictions may choose to target specifically offenders who are: A specific demographic or set of demographics (age, gender, etc.). Returning to a specific community or neighborhood or zip code. Housed in the same facility. Assessed/classified as high risk. Applicants must provide their reason for selecting this target population and provide supporting documentation to justify their decision.
Grant Description: The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and are returning to their communities. Approximately 100,000 youthful offenders are confined in juvenile residential facilities on any given day. The FY 2011 Second Chance Act Juvenile Offender Reentry Program helps ensure that the transition the youth make from secure confinement facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. A secure confinement facility may include a juvenile detention center, juvenile correctional facility, or staff-secure facility. Eligible juveniles must have been confined under juvenile court jurisdiction. This program is authorized by the Second Chance Act, Pub. L. 110-199, (42 U.S.C. 3797w). The Second Chance Act authorizes grants to states, territories, units of local government and federally-recognized Indian tribal governments for demonstration projects to promote the safe and successful reintegration into the community of individuals who have been incarcerated or detained.
