Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 Second Chance Act Juvenile Reentry Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2013 3619) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It was created and posted on May 3, 2013, with an application deadline of June 17, 2013, and an archive date of July 17, 2013. The program sits within the Law, Justice, and Legal Services funding category and is tied to CFDA 16.812, the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support juvenile reentry efforts that help young people transition successfully from secure confinement back into the community while also promoting public safety. It is rooted in the Second Chance Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-199), which was designed as a national response to the growing number of incarcerated people, including juveniles, who return to their neighborhoods after time in custody. In this juvenile-focused solicitation, the emphasis is on reentry planning and services that reduce the likelihood of reoffending, stabilize youth as they return home, and strengthen coordination between juvenile justice agencies and community-based supports.
The youth served under this program must be juveniles who were confined under juvenile court jurisdiction and are transitioning out of secure confinement facilities. The announcement clarifies that "secure confinement" can include juvenile detention centers, juvenile correctional facilities, or staff-secure facilities. In practical terms, the target population is youth leaving residential placement where movement is restricted and who need structured support to reestablish themselves in school, work, family life, and community supervision successfully.
Funding is offered in the form of grants, with anticipated awards totaling 16 awards. Individual award amounts range from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $750,000. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to document and meet the required match as described in the full solicitation and the applicable Second Chance Act and appropriations requirements.
Eligibility is limited to governmental entities: states, territories, and units of local government, including federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior). The solicitation also allows joint applications from two or more eligible applicants, but it requires that one entity be designated as the primary applicant for official correspondence, award administration, and grant management, with the remaining entities listed as co-applicants.
A key eligibility and compliance feature applies to applicants that previously received a Second Chance Act award. Under 42 U.S.C. 3797w(l), those repeat applicants must provide information showing they have adopted a juvenile reentry plan that reflects input from nonprofit organizations when relevant and appropriate. They also must demonstrate that the plan includes performance measures aimed at achieving a 10 percent reduction in recidivism over a two-year period, that they will coordinate with DOJ, nonprofit partners, and other experts on selecting and implementing those measures, and that they have made adequate progress toward the 10 percent recidivism reduction benchmark as determined by DOJ. This structure signals that OJJDP is not only funding services, but also pushing applicants to operate with a clear reentry strategy, measurable outcomes, and documented collaboration.
For applicants needing help during the application process, the solicitation provides support through the Justice Information Center (JIC). Assistance is available by phone at 1-877-927-5657, by email at JIC@telesishq.com, or via live web chat. The JIC service hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on weekdays, with extended availability until 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the solicitation close date. The full announcement is referenced through an additional information link for complete program requirements, match details, and application instructions.
