OBJECTIVES:
Through this opportunity, BJA is seeking applications to support Second Chance Act (SCA) grantees and reentry practitioners in the field to improve reentry and reduce recidivism.
This program provides training and technical assistance (TTA) services to state, local, and tribal jurisdictions to facilitate the successful reentry of people from detention and incarceration to communities.
Through this solicitation, BJA and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention seek three providers to support site-based SCA grantees for each of the following categories:
Category 1: Corrections and Community Engagement TTA Provider
Category 2: Education, Employment, and Community Engagement TTA Provider
Category 3: Behavioral Health, Housing, and Family Support TTA Provider

Category 2: Education and Employment TTA up to $425,000
