OJJDP FY 2023 Second Chance Act Youth Reentry Program

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's (OJJDP's) Second Chance Act Youth Reentry Program encourages collaboration between state agencies, local government, and community- and faith-based organizations to address the challenges that reentry and recidivism reduction pose for moderate- to high-risk youth returning to their communities from juvenile residential or correctional facilities.

This program will provide funding to support states, units of local government, and community-based organizations to develop programs to provide comprehensive reentry services for moderate- to high-risk youth before, during, and after release from confinement; support transitional services to assist youth's successful reintegration into the community; deliver relevant training to key stakeholders positioned to impact youth’s reentry process; and support a robust training and technical assistance program. 

This solicitation provides funding for three categories: 

• Category 1: Improving Youth Reentry
• Category 2: Strengthening Community-Based Youth Reentry Programs
• Category 3: Youth Reentry Training and Technical Assistance
