Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Second Chance Act Two Phase Juvenile Reentry Demonstration Program Planning and Implementation grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2014 3869) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It sits under the broader Second Chance Act of 2007 (Public Law 110-199), which was created to address the growing challenge of people leaving incarceration and trying to successfully return to their communities. In this specific solicitation, OJJDP focuses on juveniles returning from secure confinement and aims to strengthen both what happens while a young person is confined and what happens after release, so that reentry is safer, more organized, and more likely to lead to long-term positive outcomes.
At its core, the program is designed to reduce recidivism and improve youth outcomes by making sure three key pieces work together as a single reentry continuum: assessments and services delivered during secure confinement, a structured reentry planning process, and the services and supervision provided in the community after release. The secure confinement settings referenced in the solicitation include juvenile detention centers, juvenile correctional facilities, and staff-secure facilities. The emphasis is on ensuring that youth do not simply exit confinement with minimal planning, but instead move through a coordinated process where needs are identified, plans are built around those needs, and community-based supports are ready and able to engage the youth immediately upon reentry.
The eligibility rules for the youth served are clear and important. Participating youth must have been confined under the custody of a local or state juvenile correctional agency and must be admitted to the program before their 18th birthday. At the same time, OJJDP allows continuity of care beyond age 18: award recipients may continue implementing the juvenile reentry plan after a participant turns 18, and OJJDP does not impose a fixed cutoff date for ending services. Instead, services can continue as long as they are considered therapeutically necessary, which reflects a practical recognition that meaningful behavior change, stabilization, and family or community reintegration do not always align neatly with a birthday or administrative milestone.
The solicitation is structured as a "two phase" demonstration program, which signals a planned progression from preparation to action. In practice, that means grantees are expected to use an initial phase to build capacity, partnerships, and detailed operational plans, and then move into implementation of the reentry approach. The overall intent is not just to fund isolated services, but to support jurisdictions in developing a model that connects facility-based work with community supervision and supports, and then demonstrates that the approach can be executed in a real-world system with measurable results.
Funding is offered as a grant, with an award ceiling of $750,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. OJJDP anticipated making about 15 awards under this opportunity. The CFDA number is 16.812, associated with the Second Chance Act Reentry Initiative. The solicitation was posted on April 15, 2014, with an application closing date of June 2, 2014 (and an archive date of July 2, 2014), which places it as a time-limited competitive funding opportunity during the FY 2014 cycle.
Eligible applicants are limited to states (including territories), units of local government (such as city/township and county governments), and federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior). OJJDP explicitly welcomes applications that involve two or more entities, which is often necessary for reentry work because detention or corrections agencies, community supervision, schools, behavioral health providers, workforce partners, and community-based organizations typically all play a role. However, the solicitation requires that one eligible entity serve as the lead applicant, with primary responsibility for conducting and leading the program, while other participating organizations can be included as subrecipients.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed support resource is the Justice Information Center (JIC), available by phone at 1-877-927-5657, by email at JIC@telesishq.com, or through live web chat. JIC hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on weekdays, with extended hours until 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the solicitation close date.
