SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OJP

role in the Young Offender Initiative:

Reentry Grant Program is authorized in

DOJ by P.L. 106–553, 114 Stat. 2762A–

65 (2000); in SAMHSA by 509 and 520A

of the P.H.S. Act, as amended; and in

DOL by §§ 171 and 172 of P.L. 105–220,

112 Stat. 936 (1998). The program is

designed to enhance community safety

by successfully reintegrating young

offenders into the community by

helping them:

• Become productive, responsible,

and law-abiding citizens;

• Obtain and retain long-term

employment;

• Maintain a stable residence; and

• Successfully address their

substance abuse issues and mental

health needs.

Grantees may receive up to $3.1

million in funding and technical

assistance to establish diverse, publicprivate partnerships that help young

offenders attain these goals. Eligible

applicants must be State or local

agencies or units of government, Tribal

governments, public or private

nonprofit entities designated as

501(c)(3) (examples of which are

community-based organizations or faithbased organizations), or local Workforce

Investment Boards that have formed

partnerships with State and local

agencies as identified in the Young

Offender Initiative: Reentry Grant

Program Application Package.

Applicants must target a population of

young offenders within the age range of

14 to 35 years old who are returning to

the community from incarceration

(minimum of 12 consecutive months for

adults, 6 consecutive months for

juveniles) who pose a risk to community

safety. Additional guidance regarding

the identification of the target

population and the composition and

responsibilities of the applicant

partnerships is provided in the

Application Package.

This solicitation is one of two dealing

with young offenders. The other

solicitation under The Young Offender

Initiative is the Demonstration Grant

Program which will fund separate

awards totaling up to $11.5 million for

communities to target young offenders

ages 14–24 who are either already

involved in the criminal justice system,

gang members, or at risk of gang or

criminal involvement. This other

solicitation will be published in the

Federal Register and available on DOL’s

Web site, http://wdsc.doleta.gov/sga/.

Applicants may apply for both

solicitations, but are eligible to receive

only one award for the same or similar

populations.

held on Wednesday, June 6, 2001, at the

Radisson Hotel and Suites Downtown St.

Louis, 200 North Fourth Street, St. Louis, MO
