Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2016 Second Chance Act Strengthening Relationships Between Young Fathers, Young Mothers, and Their Children grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Its focus is on helping young parents who have been in detention, out-of-home placement, or incarceration successfully transition back into their families and communities. The core intent is to reduce the likelihood of reoffending while strengthening family stability, improving parenting capacity, and supporting healthier outcomes for both the young parents and their children.
The program is built around coordinated, comprehensive strategies rather than standalone services. Applicants are expected to braid together three main components into one cohesive approach. First, projects should deliver mentoring and transitional reentry supports that have evidence or a track record of reducing recidivism. This can include structured mentorship, case management, service navigation, and other reentry planning elements that address practical barriers young parents face when returning home. Second, funded work must include parenting skills development and intentional efforts to strengthen parent-child relationships, specifically tailored to young fathers and young mothers. This emphasizes hands-on engagement, relationship-building, and skills that help young parents play a consistent, positive role in their childrens lives. Third, the initiative requires strong partnerships with private and community-based service providers, reflecting the idea that public safety and long-term family success depend on coordinated local networks rather than any single agency working alone.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity number is OJJDP 2016 9135 and the associated CFDA number is 16.831, which is tied to juvenile justice and delinquency prevention activities. Awards are grants, with an award ceiling of $350,000 per project. OJJDP anticipated making 8 awards under this solicitation, making it a competitive national opportunity with a limited number of funded slots.
Eligibility includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The solicitation also lists "Others" as potentially eligible, with clarification referenced in the original eligibility text field, indicating there may have been additional eligible entity types depending on the specific guidance in the full announcement.
The opportunity was created and posted on December 21, 2015, and the application deadline was March 3, 2016 (with the original and current closing dates matching). Overall, this grant was designed to help communities implement reentry programs for justice-involved young parents that combine proven reentry supports, practical parenting and relationship services, and strong community partnerships to improve public safety while supporting healthier family reunification and child well-being.
