2023 Second Chance Act Smart Supervision Program (US)

Deadline: 21-Mar-23

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) seeks applications for funding to improve outcomes for adults on community supervision.

This program furthers DOJ’s mission by providing resources to support states and units of local government in planning, implementing, or expanding effective supervision capacity to address individuals’ needs and reduce recidivism.

The Second Chance Act (SCA), reauthorized by the First Step Act of 2018, provides a comprehensive response to assist in the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to their communities so that the transition is more successful and promotes public safety. SCA and reentry-focused 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 an ongoing process that starts from the moment an individual is initially incarcerated and continues throughout that individual’s transition from incarceration and reintegration into the community.

The Smart Supervision Program is part of the Second Chance Act suite of program in FY 2023. This year, a range of programs for states, local government units, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations are being competed, including:
