The Second Chance Act (SCA) supports efforts to help formerly incarcerated individuals successfully reintegrate into society. Administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, this grant provides millions in funding each year.

Eligible organizations include:

  • Nonprofits with a history of reentry work

  • State and local governments

  • Tribes and tribal consortia

Grants support:

  • Transitional housing and employment programs

  • Mental health and substance use services

  • Mentoring and case management

  • Family reunification support

With awards often exceeding $750,000, Second Chance grants require strong partnerships and a proven track record of success with justice-involved populations.
