BJA FY 23 Smart Reentry: Expanding Jail Programs and Services: OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. The Second Chance Act (SCA) of 2007 (Public Law 110-199), reauthorized by the First Step Act of 2018, provides a comprehensive response to assist in the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to their communities so the transition is more successful and promotes public safety. SCA and reentry-focused grant funding is designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by reentry and recidivism reduction. "Reentry" is not a specific program but rather an ongoing process that starts from the moment an individual is initially incarcerated and continues throughout that individual's transition from incarceration to reintegration into the community. With this solicitation, BJA seeks to fund units of local government and federally recognized Indian tribal governments to plan, implement, or expand effective reentry practices and service delivery systems within local correctional facility (nonprison) settings, including jails, and for incarcerated persons transitioning from these facilities to the community. This funding is available to support the development and provision of innovative evidence-based reentry programming and services that address individuals' needs of individuals returning to the community from jail and that reduce recidivism for the local population. Services can be provided in a wide range of local correctional settings, including jails, halfway house, and in the community. Smart Reentry: Expanding Jail Programs and Services is part of the Second Chance Act suite of programs in FY 2023. This year, a range of programs for states, local government units, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations are being competed, including: Community Reentry Community-based Reentry Incubator Initiative Improving Adult and Youth Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry Improving Adult Reentry Education, and Employment Outcomes Improving Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Outcomes for Adults in Reentry Pay for Success Smart Supervision Swift, Certain, and Fair Supervision and HOPE Institute OJJDP Children of Incarcerated Parents Program OJJDP Youth Reentry Program
