Grant Description

Grants to USA and territories government agencies, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and IHEs to expand services for incarcerated parents with minor children. Applicants must complete required registrations prior to submitting a proposal. Funding is intended to support family engagement strategies that promote communication and support reentry.

This program will provide funding to support states, units of local government, and community-based organizations to develop programs within detention or correctional facilities to respond to the needs of incarcerated parents who have children younger than age 18. This program supports activities that foster positive family engagement between incarcerated parents and their children within detention and correctional facilities, including juvenile detention and correctional facilities with young fathers, and implement programs and services that support the children of incarcerated parents to reduce the likelihood of antisocial behaviors and future involvement in the juvenile justice system.

This solicitation provides funding for two categories—Category 1: Addressing the Needs of Incarcerated Parents and Their Minor Children Programs and Services and Category 2: Addressing the Needs of Incarcerated Parents and Their Minor Children Training and Technical Assistance.
