Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2024 172135
The BJA FY24 Second Chance Act Improving Reentry Education and Employment Outcomes opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: O-BJA-2024-172135) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). The overall purpose is to support reentry services and programs that help people returning to their communities after incarceration improve their education and employment outcomes. In practice, this means funding initiatives that increase access to education and training, build job readiness, connect participants to employment opportunities, and strengthen the support systems that make it more likely someone can secure work and continue learning after release.
This is a grant funding instrument, listed under the “Humanities” funding activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 16.812. Awards are intended to help communities implement or expand evidence-informed reentry approaches that address common barriers faced by returning individuals, such as limited educational credentials, gaps in work history, difficulty obtaining industry-recognized certifications, and challenges navigating job placement and retention. Programs supported through this solicitation are generally expected to focus on practical, outcome-driven services that translate into measurable improvements in educational attainment and employment stability.
Eligible applicants include a broad set of public and nonprofit organizations. Government entities may apply, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Nonprofit organizations are also eligible, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). This eligibility range is designed to allow reentry-focused agencies, community-based providers, and local or tribal governments to lead programming, often in collaboration with corrections agencies, workforce partners, and service providers.
The solicitation anticipated making approximately 22 awards, with an award ceiling of $900,000 per award. The opportunity was created on May 16, 2024, and the original application closing date was July 11, 2024. Applicants typically use this type of funding to deliver direct reentry services, coordinate education-to-employment pipelines, and build partnerships that connect incarcerated or formerly incarcerated individuals to training, credentials, and jobs in the community.Apply for O BJA 2024 172135
