Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 10 Family Based Prisoner Substance Abuse Treatment grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), authorized under the Second Chance Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-199). It is designed to respond to the high volume of people leaving prisons and jails and returning to their communities by strengthening substance use disorder treatment for a specific, high-impact population: incarcerated parents of minor children. The program recognizes that addiction, criminal behavior, and family instability often reinforce each other, and that improving treatment access and continuity during incarceration and after release can reduce relapse and recidivism while also supporting the well-being of children and other family members.
The opportunity is grounded in national data showing both widespread substance abuse among incarcerated individuals and the scale of parental incarceration. BJS statistics cited in the announcement note that, in 2004, 53 percent of state inmates were abusing or dependent on drugs in the year prior to admission, and 32 percent reported committing their current offense while under the influence of drugs. On the family side, the announcement highlights that in 2007, 52 percent of state inmates reported being parents, representing an estimated 1.7 million children under age 18, an increase of 80 percent since 2001. Longer-term trends are also emphasized: since 1991, the number of children with a mother in prison rose by 131 percent, and the number with a father in prison rose by 77 percent. Among state prisoners incarcerated for drug-related offenses, majorities were parents (59 percent of males and 63 percent of females). These figures are used to justify an approach that treats substance abuse recovery and family support as connected parts of successful reentry.
Funding under Section 113 of the Second Chance Act supports planning, implementing, or expanding substance abuse treatment programs that operate both inside prisons and jails and continue after reentry into the community. A defining feature of this solicitation is its family-based focus: applicants are expected not only to treat the incarcerated parent but also to incorporate outreach to families and provide treatment and other supportive services to children and other family members of participating inmates. In practical terms, this frames reentry as a family system issue rather than an individual-only intervention, with an aim of improving recovery outcomes while helping stabilize the home environment that participants will return to.
Eligible applicants include state governments, city or township governments, county governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The program is listed under CFDA 16.812, Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative, within the law, justice, and legal services category. BJA anticipated making about 30 awards, with an award ceiling of $300,000 and no required cost sharing or match. The funding instrument is a grant.
Key timeline details from the posting show it was posted and created on April 19, 2010, with an application closing date of June 3, 2010, and an archive date of July 3, 2010.
