The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) has recently
posted new funding opportunities, in a variety of subject areas,
on their website. A
brief description of the funding opportunities are located below.
Adult Reentry Grant (ARG)-
Funding will support California’s efforts in providing
resources to people formerly incarcerated in state prison.
Eligible applicants are Community-Based Organizations located
in the State of California that have 501(c)(3) status (i.e.,
nonprofit).
Youth Reinvestment Grant
(YRG)- Funding for programs and
services that will divert youth away from the juvenile justice
system. Funded grant programs will do so by partnering with
Community-Based Organizations (Non-Governmental Organizations)
to provide evidence-based, trauma-informed, culturally relevant
and developmentally appropriate diversion options at various
points of entry to the juvenile justice system (90%
pass-thru funding to CBOs).
Tribal Youth Diversion Grant (YRG
Tribal)- Funding for Indian tribes to
implement diversion programs for Indian children that use
trauma informed, community-based, and health-based
interventions.
JAG Byrne- Funding provides
critical funding necessary to support state and local
initiatives including: technical assistance, strategic
planning, research and evaluation (including forensics), data
collection, training, personnel, equipment, forensic
laboratories, supplies, contractual support, and criminal
justice information systems.
Prop 47- Funding to provide mental health
services, substance use disorder treatment and diversion
programs for people in the criminal justice system. The grant
program may also provide housing-related assistance and other
community-based supportive services, including job skills
training, case management and civil legal services. The grant
can fund programs that serve adults and/or juveniles.
All of these Request for Proposals (RFPs) are located on the
BSCC homepage. Each
individual RFP has different eligibility, grant
requirements and due dates. Additionally, each grant will
conduct a Bidders’ Conference beginning this week. It’s believed
that each of the grants will have a livestream opportunity for
those who cannot travel to the BSCC.
Finally, Title II has an estimated RFP release date of April
2019.
