Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 Second Chance Act Juvenile Offender Reentry Program for Planning and Demonstration Projects is a discretionary federal grant opportunity designed to improve how youth transition from secure confinement back into their communities. Backed by the Second Chance Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-199; 42 U.S.C. 3797w), the program responds to the large number of youth held in juvenile residential placements nationwide (roughly 100,000 on any given day) and focuses on reducing the likelihood of reoffending while strengthening public safety. The central idea is to support jurisdictions in building and testing reentry approaches that begin while a young person is still confined and continue after release, so that services, supervision, and supports are coordinated rather than fragmented.
Funding is provided as a grant under CFDA 16.812 (Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative). The opportunity was posted June 10, 2011, with an application deadline of July 11, 2011, and an archive date of August 10, 2011. The maximum award amount listed is $750,000, with no stated minimum (award floor $0). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources according to the rules described in the full announcement and authorizing statute.
Eligible applicants are limited to governmental entities: states and territories, units of local government (including city/township and county governments), and federally recognized Indian tribal governments. OJJDP allows joint applications from multiple eligible agencies, but one entity must be designated as the primary applicant for official communication, award issuance, and overall grant management, while other participating agencies are listed as co-applicants. For tribal applicants, the target youth may be held in tribal, regional, county, or local detention centers as allowed under state or tribal law, which reflects the reality that detention arrangements vary across jurisdictions.
The program is specifically aimed at juveniles who have been confined under juvenile court jurisdiction in a secure confinement facility. OJJDP defines secure confinement broadly to include juvenile detention centers, juvenile correctional facilities, and staff-secure facilities. Youth served must be admitted to the program before their 18th birthday, but the grant recognizes that effective reentry often requires continuity into early adulthood. Recipients are allowed to continue implementing a youth’s reentry plan after the person turns 18, for as long as continued services are considered therapeutically necessary, rather than being forced to stop at a fixed age cutoff.
A key eligibility and design requirement is that projects must focus on a clearly defined medium- to high-risk subset of confined youth rather than the entire confined population. Applicants have to identify exactly who they plan to serve and justify that selection with documentation and reasoning. Examples of acceptable targeting strategies include focusing on a particular demographic group (such as age or gender), youth returning to a specific neighborhood or zip code, youth housed in a particular facility, or youth assessed and classified as high risk. This emphasis on a well-defined target population signals that OJJDP expects funded sites to use risk information, local data, and operational realities to concentrate resources where they can have the greatest impact.
In practical terms, the grant supports planning and demonstration activities that strengthen reentry systems and promote successful reintegration. While the short synopsis does not list required program components, the stated purpose makes clear the funding is meant to help jurisdictions build coordinated transition processes that connect confinement-based preparation with community-based services and supports after release. The outcome OJJDP is driving toward is a reentry process that improves youth stability and community safety by reducing reoffending and increasing the chances that young people return to the community with structured plans, appropriate supervision, and access to interventions that address their needs.
For applicant support, OJJDP directed people who could not access the full announcement electronically to seek assistance and provided the Justice Information Center contact options: phone at 1-877-927-5657, email at JIC@telesishq.com, and live web chat. The help desk operated Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with extended hours on the closing date (8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time).
