FY15 Second Chance Act Reentry Program for Adults with Co-Occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Disorders
Agency: Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance
Deadline: March 31, 2015
Available funding: $6 Million (Award range: $0 - $600,000)
Estimated number of awards: 10
Description: The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides a comprehensive response to the increasing number of incarcerated adults and juveniles who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.2 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through tribal and local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all people incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The coordination of reentry of members of Native American tribes is even more complex given that they can return from federal, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state, local, and tribal facilities. The Second Chance Act helps to ensure that the transition individuals make from prison, jail, or juvenile residential facilities to the community is successful and promotes public safety. The Second Chance Act Programs are 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 a process that starts when an individual is initially incarcerated and ends when he or she has been successfully reintegrated in the community as a law-abiding citizen. The reentry process includes screening and assessment in a pre-release setting, the delivery of evidence-based programming in a pre-release setting, and the delivery of a variety of evidence-based programming for every program participant in a post-release setting designed to ensure that the transition from prison or jail to the community is safe and successful.
The Reentry Program for Adults with Co-Occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Disorders is designed to improve outcomes for adults with co-occurring substance abuse and mental disorders through the screening and assessment of incarcerated individuals, availability of some pre-release programming, leading to the provision of appropriate evidence-based services and treatment after incarceration.

Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Adult and Family Drug Courts
Agency: Department of Health and Human Services, SAMHSA
Deadline: March 27, 2015
Available funding: $11.3 Million (Award range: $0 - $325,000)
Estimated number of awards: 35
Description: The purpose of this program is to expand and/or enhance substance abuse treatment services in existing adult and family “problem solving” courts, which use the treatment drug court model in order to provide alcohol and drug treatment (including recovery support services supporting substance abuse treatment, screening, assessment, case management, and program coordination as well as family-focused services in the case of Family Treatment Drug Courts) to defendants/offenders. Grantees will be expected to provide a coordinated, multi-system approach designed to combine the sanctioning power of treatment drug courts with effective treatment services to break the cycle of criminal behavior, child abuse and neglect, alcohol and/or drug use, and incarceration or other penalties.
Grant Management Uniform Guidance: D +4 Weeks
The new federal grant management Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) went into effect on December 26, 2014. Are your organization’s policies, procedures and systems aligned with the new regulations?
This change impacts all non-federal organizations.
The Grant Doctors offers two options to help you prepare for the transition:
- Have us perform a Grant Management Assessment to review your organization’s systems and to make recommendations for improvement if necessary.
- DIY: Use our Federal Grant Management Assessment tool to perform your own internal analysis. Our assessment covers 110 standards in the Uniform Guidance (i.e., administrative requirements, cost principles and audit requirements) and internal controls guidelines; and provides ample space to cite your current practices and to make notes regarding findings, action items and next steps. And, because the tool is a .pdf form, you can save your responses and re-use the assessment anytime. Click here to purchase and download the assessment tool. Price: $350.
