The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is offering a discretionary grant opportunity titled "OJJDP FY24 Second Chance Act Ensuring Public Safety and Improving Outcomes for Youth in Confinement and While Under Community Supervision - Invited To Apply Administrative Funding Adjustment." This funding is connected to the Second Chance Act and is focused on strengthening reentry and community supervision efforts for justice-involved youth, especially those transitioning out of secure confinement or being managed in the community through probation and related supervision arrangements. The goal is to improve youth outcomes while also supporting public safety by reducing the factors that contribute to reoffending and instability after release.

The program emphasis is on practical reentry strategies and supports that address specific high-need youth populations. A major focus is improving access to treatment services for youth with co-occurring substance use problems and mental health disorders, recognizing that these issues often overlap and can make successful reintegration much harder without coordinated care. Another key priority is reentry services for gang-involved youth, which typically requires specialized approaches that account for safety risks, social networks, and the challenges youth face when trying to exit gang involvement and stabilize in school, work, and family settings. The solicitation also highlights training and technical assistance to improve community supervision practices for juveniles, including youth on probation and youth being released from secure confinement, which can include improving case planning, risk and needs assessment practices, service matching, engagement strategies, and supervision approaches that are effective for adolescents.

This specific posting is labeled "Invited To Apply" and references an "Administrative Funding Adjustment," which usually indicates the agency is not running a broad open competition. Instead, it typically signals that a particular applicant is being asked to submit materials to adjust, supplement, or otherwise modify an existing award arrangement or project funding level. In the source information provided, the Alaska Department of Family and Community Services is identified in the description, and the solicitation anticipates a single award, which aligns with an invited, targeted action rather than a nationwide competitive call for proposals.

In terms of basic grant details, the opportunity is administered by OJJDP under CFDA 16.812, within the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services. The funding instrument type is a grant, the opportunity category is discretionary, and the listing shows an expected number of awards of 1. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $212,127. The opportunity was created on 2024-09-06, with an original closing date of 2024-09-09, reflecting a very short turnaround that is common for invited or administrative adjustment actions. The opportunity number is listed as O-OJJDP-2024-172245, which can be used to locate the official posting in grant systems and to reference the correct solicitation when preparing or reviewing application materials.

Overall, this funding opportunity is aimed at improving the effectiveness of juvenile reentry and supervision by expanding or refining services for youth with complex behavioral health needs, supporting targeted reentry pathways for gang-involved youth, and strengthening the practice capacity of agencies and practitioners responsible for supervising youth in the community or supporting their transition from confinement. The structure and metadata suggest it is intended for a specific applicant to make an administrative adjustment rather than inviting broad public applications.
