Additional information on eligibility (from the notice)
Eligible applicants are limited to states (including territories), local governments, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of Interior) in partnership with interested persons (including Federal corrections and supervision agencies), service providers, and nonprofit organizations. A determination by the Secretary of the Interior is not required for tribes to which federal recognition was extended by virtue of Public Law 115-121, the Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act of 2017.All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee. OJJDP welcomes applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award; however, only one entity may be the applicant. Any others must be proposed as subrecipients (subgrantees). The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for carrying out the award, including administering the funding and managing the entire program. Under this solicitation, only one application by any particular applicant entity will be considered. An entity may, however, be proposed as a subrecipient (subgrantee) in more than one application. For additional information on subawards, see the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide. Please note that in order to be eligible for funding under this solicitation, applicants must have a documented plan in place for providing comprehensive reentry program services for youth developed in close collaboration with interested persons (including Federal corrections and supervision agencies), service providers, and nonprofit organizations. The plan should address the mandatory requirements and be submitted as an attachment to the application. Attach with the application a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that clearly demonstrates a collaborative relationship between the applicant, interested persons (including Federal corrections and supervision agencies), service providers, and nonprofit organizations. The MOU should specify how the applicant will coordinate with community and faith-based organizations and other stakeholders to address significant issues facing youth as they reenter the community. Describe the roles and responsibilities of the youth reentry task force members and the extent to which the applicant will have access to youth participants within residential facilities prior to release.
