## What the grant funds

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. Second Chance Act (SCA) grant funding is designed to help communities develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative strategies that address the challenges posed by reentry and recidivism reduction. "Reentry" is not a specific program but rather a process that starts from the moment an individual is incarcerated and continues throughout that individual’s transition from incarceration and reintegration into the community. This solicitation is part of the SCA suite of programs in FY 2023. This year, a range of programs for states, local units of government, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments is being competed, including: Community-based Reentry Incubator Program Improving Adult and Youth Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry Improving Reentry Education and Employment Outcomes Program Improving Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Outcomes for Adults in Reentry Program Pay for Success Swift, Certain, and Fair Supervision Smart Reentry Smart Supervision Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) Children of Incarcerated Parents Program OJJDP Youth Reentry Program OJJDP will be supporting youth reentry training and technical assistance under the OJJDP FY 2023 Second Chance Youth Reentry Program solicitation, Category 3: Youth Reentry Training and Technical Assistance.
