OJJDP: Second Chance Act Addressing the Needs of Incarcerated Parents and their Minor Children – US

Deadline: 6-Feb-25

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is seeking grant applications to support states, units of local government, Tribal communities, and community-based organizations to implement, develop, or expand programs within detention or correctional facilities to respond to the needs of incarcerated parents (juvenile or adult) who have children younger than age 18 to prevent violent crime, reduce recidivism, and provide support for minor children.

OJJDP recognizes that the term parent extends to a legal guardian, caregiver, or persons with a strong familial bond with a minor. This program supports activities that foster positive family engagement between incarcerated parents and their children within detention and correctional facilities, including juvenile detention and correctional facilities with young parents, and implements programs and services that support the children of incarcerated parents to reduce the likelihood of antisocial behaviors and future involvement in the juvenile justice system. 

In addition, OJJDP seeks applicants who will emphasize partnerships to support housing, mental health services, substance use treatment, and caregiver engagement and support (i.e., support groups, incentives to participate, etc.) to aid in both the reunification of families and the successful reentry of the parent.
