Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 10 Second Chance Act Reentry Demonstration Program Targeting Offenders with Co occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Health Disorders is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Bureau of Justice Assistance designed to strengthen reentry services for people leaving prisons and jails who struggle with both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. The program is rooted in the Second Chance Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-199), which was created in response to the large and growing number of individuals returning from incarceration to the community and the public safety and public health challenges that come with that transition. This particular solicitation emphasizes the reality that treatment needs are widespread in correctional populations, citing Bureau of Justice Statistics findings that more than half of jail and prison inmates were abusing or dependent on drugs in the year before admission, and that a significant portion were identified as having mental illness. It also highlights research showing especially high overlap between severe mental disorders and substance use, including estimates as high as a 72 percent co-occurring substance use rate among jail detainees with severe mental disorders.
The grant authority comes specifically from Section 201 of the Second Chance Act, which focuses on improving drug treatment for offenders during incarceration and continuing through the completion of parole or other court supervision after release. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to support jurisdictions that want to implement new programs or expand existing ones that deliver coordinated, evidence-informed treatment and reentry supports across the incarceration-to-community boundary. The intent is to reduce relapse and recidivism risks by ensuring that people with co-occurring disorders do not lose access to care at the moment of release, when risk is often highest. While the notice does not spell out every program model, its core message is continuity of care: effective treatment inside facilities, planning for release, and sustained services and supervision in the community.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is law, justice, and legal services. The program is part of CFDA 16.812, the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative. Up to 20 awards were expected under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of $600,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically indicates that award sizes may vary depending on the proposal and available funds, up to the stated maximum.
Key dates for this FY 2010 opportunity include a posted and creation date of April 19, 2010, and an application closing date of June 3, 2010 (with the archive date listed as July 3, 2010). The funding opportunity number is BJA-2010-2701. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the contact listed was Al Roddy for technical application support at 202-353-1881.
