BJA FY 2022 Improving Adult and Juvenile Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry Program

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 that the transition is more successful and promotes public safety. The FY 2022 Improving Adult and Juvenile Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry Grant Program is a new solicitation designed to implement programming and services in response to the Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry Act of 2020. It includes two categories for funding: Category 1: Adult and Juvenile Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry Programs — State and Local Governments Category 2: Adult and Juvenile Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry Programs — Nonprofit Organizations and Tribal Governments 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 and reintegration into the community. This solicitation is part of the SCA suite of programs in FY 2022. This year a range of programs for states, units of local government, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments are being competed, including: Community-based Reentry Program Improving Reentry Education and Employment Outcomes Program Improving Reentry Substance Use Disorder Treatment Outcomes Program Pay for Success Swift, Certain, and Fair Supervision and HOPE Institute Smart Reentry and Smart Supervision with Technical Assistance: New Tools to Facilitate Change Not all entities are eligible for all programs.
