Description
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. Community- and faith-based organizations (CBOs) provide critical reentry services for people returning from incarceration to their communities. However, many CBOs face significant barriers directly accessing and managing federal grants. With this solicitation, BJA seeks to fund two intermediary organizations that will design and administer a competitive incubator initiative for community- and faith-based reentry providers. These intermediary organizations will provide subawards, oversight, and comprehensive training and technical assistance (TTA) services to help build capability, capacity, and sustainability among CBO subawardees to meet the needs of people returning home from incarceration and to apply for and manage private and public grant funding in the future.
