Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2023 171505
The BJA FY 23 Second Chance Act Smart Supervision Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), intended to help jurisdictions improve outcomes for adults on community supervision. It sits within the larger Second Chance Act (SCA) framework, first enacted in 2007 and later reauthorized under the First Step Act of 2018, which focuses on helping people transition successfully from incarceration back into the community in ways that strengthen public safety and reduce recidivism. The solicitation frames "reentry" as an ongoing process rather than a single program, emphasizing that effective reentry work begins at the start of incarceration and continues through release and reintegration.
At a policy level, the opportunity is aligned with OJP priorities that include advancing civil rights and racial equity, increasing access to justice, supporting crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and communities. Within that broader mission, this specific Smart Supervision solicitation is geared toward improving how community supervision is delivered for adults, which can include probation, parole, or other local supervision structures. The underlying idea is that smarter, more tailored supervision approaches can improve compliance and stability for participants while also supporting public safety goals, especially when supervision strategies are coordinated with services that address criminogenic needs and barriers to successful reintegration.
Funding is offered as a grant under CFDA 16.812. The funding opportunity number is O-BJA-2023-171505, and it was posted January 26, 2023, with an original application closing date of March 20, 2023. BJA anticipated making about 5 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $850,000 per award. The opportunity category is discretionary, meaning awards are competitively selected rather than distributed by formula.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and federally recognized tribal governments, with a note that additional applicant types may be eligible depending on the solicitation's "Additional Information on Eligibility" language. The Smart Supervision Program is also described as one piece of a larger FY 2023 Second Chance Act "suite" of reentry-related solicitations. That larger set includes competitions focused on community reentry, adult and juvenile crisis stabilization and community reentry, improving adult reentry education and employment outcomes, improving substance use disorder treatment and recovery outcomes for adults in reentry, pay for success, smart supervision, and other supervision models such as swift, certain, and fair supervision and the HOPE Institute. Because not every entity is eligible for every one of these related solicitations, applicants are encouraged to read each solicitation carefully and consider whether applying to another SCA opportunity could complement a broader, more comprehensive local reentry strategy, particularly for individuals with substance use disorders or co-occurring needs who have had contact with the justice system.Apply for O BJA 2023 171505
