Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Second Chance Act Comprehensive Statewide Juvenile Reentry Systems Reform Planning Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), designed to help states strengthen how they support youth returning to the community after confinement. Grounded in the Second Chance Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-199), the program recognizes that juvenile reentry is complex and that many systems struggle to consistently deliver the mix of assessment, services, supervision, and accountability that research shows can reduce reoffending and improve long-term outcomes for young people.
The purpose of this solicitation is planning, not full implementation. OJJDP is offering 12-month planning grants for state or local juvenile justice leaders to bring key partners together, take a hard look at current practice, and produce a comprehensive statewide juvenile reentry systems reform strategic plan. During the grant period, the funded agency is expected to convene a reentry task force and use that group to guide the development and finalization of the strategic plan. The plan is intended to be practical and action-oriented, providing a roadmap to reduce the historical baseline recidivism rates among youth released from state- or locally run and/or managed juvenile correctional facilities and to improve broader youth outcomes after release.
OJJDP highlights several core reform areas the strategic plan should address. First, it should strengthen assessment policies and practices so that decisions about placement, treatment, supervision, and supports are driven by better information about risk, needs, and responsivity. Second, it should promote a more integrated approach across the full reentry timeline, connecting prerelease planning and services inside facilities with postrelease services and supervision in the community. This reflects the broader evidence base that continuity of care, coordinated case planning, and strong community-based supports are critical for successful transitions. Third, the plan should build a stronger performance and accountability infrastructure, including improved program and policy monitoring, quality assurance processes, implementation supports, and clear accountability practices. A major emphasis is also placed on building the capacity to collect, analyze, report, and use youth outcome data for decision-making, so the system can track what is working, identify gaps, and adjust strategies over time.
The funding parameters reflect the planning-focused nature of the program. OJJDP anticipates making up to 8 awards, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and no stated award floor. The program is listed under CFDA 16.812 (Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative) and includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the solicitation rules. The activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the funding instrument type is a grant.
Eligibility is limited to specific public agencies with authority over juvenile corrections and reentry. Eligible applicants include state juvenile correctional agencies, juvenile justice agencies that oversee the reentry process for youth placed in local correctional facilities post-disposition, and the state planning agency. OJJDP notes that applications may involve two or more entities, but one eligible entity must serve as the primary applicant and lead agency, while other partners are included as subrecipients. This structure is meant to ensure clear responsibility for organizing the task force, managing the planning process, and delivering the required strategic plan and related products.
A key incentive built into this opportunity is the pathway from planning to implementation. After grantees complete the strategic plan and associated deliverables, OJJDP intends to invite them to apply for separate implementation funding in the range of $1 million to $2 million to carry out their reform plans. Those later implementation awards are not automatic; they will be competitive, and OJJDP indicates that future funding decisions will heavily weigh the quality and comprehensiveness of the strategic plan produced during the planning grant period.
Administrative details for this FY 2014 solicitation include Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2014 3826, a posted date of March 28, 2014, and an application closing date of May 13, 2014 (the same as the original closing date). The opportunity was archived on June 12, 2014. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, OJJDP directed them to the Justice Information Center (JIC) for phone, email, or web-chat support during standard business hours, with extended hours on the closing date.
