The U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) has opened a solicitation to fund state, local, and tribal governments to enhance or implement evidence-based activities or services to improve reentry and reduce recidivism by expanding and/or increasing access to housing for people who are currently or formerly involved in the criminal justice system. Prior to release from incarceration, individuals will be screened, assessed, and identified for program participation. The program will help jurisdictions assess their reentry systems, identify strengths and gaps, and then build capacity for improved housing options for adults released from prison or jail. Public housing authorities are eligible to apply for funds directly. Up to $1 million is available for the demonstration, and an estimated 7 grants will be awarded. The application deadline is July 25. BJA held a webinar to provide a detailed overview of this solicitation.
