Opportunity Summary:
The Young Offender Planning Grants/Implementation Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SGA DFA PY 08 09) is a discretionary federal grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration under CFDA 17.261 (WIA Pilots, Demonstrations, and Research Projects). A total of $17.3 million is made available to support efforts focused on improving reentry outcomes for youth returning to communities from correctional and detention settings. The agency anticipated making about 14 awards overall, with individual awards ranging from $300,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $5,000,000, depending on the project category and scope.
The funding is organized into three distinct project categories. First, Young Offender Planning Grants are intended for city and county governments and are designed to help selected communities develop a comprehensive, coordinated blueprint for serving both juvenile offenders and young adult offenders who are returning from correctional facilities. The emphasis for these planning awards is on building a clear, community-wide strategy rather than immediately launching full-scale services. A key requirement tied specifically to these planning grants is that applicants must bring leveraged resources at a one-to-one level. In practice, this means the locality must demonstrate that it can match the federal investment with equivalent support from sources such as local or national foundations, local or state government, other federal funds, or other allowable resources, signaling local commitment and readiness to move from planning to action.
Second, Juvenile Offender Implementation Grants are aimed at putting strategies into practice and are structured around partnerships between state juvenile justice departments and local juvenile justice agencies. These grants are meant to support a comprehensive approach to serving youth returning home from juvenile correctional or detention facilities within a defined local area. Eligibility is limited to these state-local partnerships, and either the state juvenile justice department or the local juvenile justice agency partner may serve as the applicant on behalf of the collaboration. The competition also sets important limits: each state may submit only one application, and that application must focus on juvenile offenders returning to only one county within the state, which concentrates resources and accountability in a single locality rather than dispersing effort statewide.
Third, the Juvenile Offender Reentry Grant is designed for an intermediary organization with demonstrated experience conducting multi-site demonstrations across several localities. Unlike the planning and implementation grants, which are tied directly to government applicants or government partnerships, this category is intended for an organization capable of designing, coordinating, and implementing a model reentry program across multiple cities. The announcement specifies a four-city model, with those cities potentially selected competitively after the grant is awarded, reinforcing the idea that the intermediary will manage a structured demonstration approach and replicate a core model in multiple places.
Across all three categories, the overarching purpose is to strengthen how communities plan for and deliver employment- and training-relevant reentry supports for young people, with an emphasis on coordination between justice agencies and community systems. The opportunity was posted on November 17, 2008, created on January 15, 2009, and ultimately carried a current application deadline of January 29, 2009, with applications due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time as described in the solicitation's submission instructions. While the listing indicates no general cost-sharing or matching requirement, the planning grant category uniquely requires one-to-one leveraged resources as a threshold condition for award.
