Opportunity Summary:
The Transition from Jail to the Community (TJC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 12CS16) was a discretionary funding solicitation issued by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) under CFDA 16.603, Corrections Technical Assistance/Clearinghouse. NIC sought to make a single award through a cooperative agreement lasting 30 months, with an anticipated maximum federal award amount (ceiling) of $450,000 and no stated minimum award (floor of $0). The work falls under a technical assistance focus specifically tied to the California jail system, rather than a traditional programmatic grant where funds are primarily passed through for direct services.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement was to provide hands-on assistance to at least two counties in California to implement the Transition from Jail to Community (TJC) model. The TJC model is a framework designed to improve reentry outcomes by strengthening how local jail systems, community partners, and supervision entities coordinate the transition of people leaving jail back into the community. In this solicitation, NIC emphasized that the implementation support was needed in direct response to California Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109) realignment, a major policy change that shifted certain correctional responsibilities from the state level to counties. In practical terms, this realignment increased the importance of county jail and community reentry systems, making structured transition planning, interagency collaboration, and evidence-informed practices more urgent and complex.
NIC structured the award as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial federal involvement in the project beyond standard grant oversight. That arrangement typically means the awardee would be expected to coordinate closely with NIC, align technical assistance deliverables with NIC expectations, and participate in collaborative planning, reporting, and iterative improvement during the 30-month project period. The solicitation anticipated one award in total, meaning a single selected applicant would serve as the primary provider of implementation assistance across the targeted counties.
Eligibility was broad and inclusive. NIC allowed applications from essentially any qualified public or private entity, educational institution, organization, individual, or team, as long as they could demonstrate expertise relevant to the areas described in the announcement. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers to entry for applicants who could bring subject-matter expertise, implementation experience, and the capacity to deliver sustained technical assistance over multiple years.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and specific: it was posted on July 11, 2012, with an application deadline (closing date) of July 27, 2012, and it was archived on July 28, 2012. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, NIC provided a point of contact: Pamela Davison, Administrative Assistant, reachable by phone at 202-353-0484, specifically for technical assistance related to access issues.
In short, this opportunity was designed to fund one expert provider to help multiple California counties put the TJC reentry implementation framework into practice in the wake of AB 109 realignment, using a 30-month cooperative agreement focused on technical assistance and system-level change rather than direct service funding.
