Office: Office of Justice Programs Grant 5 Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations (including faith-based, tribal, and community nonprofit organizations) and federally recognized Indian tribes with a demonstrable history of providing community-based reentry programs and services for Latino/a youth. Applicants who do not have a demonstrated history of providing community-based reentry programs and services for Latino/a youth may partner with a community-based nonprofit that has experience and expertise working with this population. Applicants must submit letters of support or memoranda of understanding demonstrating this relationship. Applicants may choose to partner with other community-based agencies to provide some reentry services, including the mentoring component. However, one eligible entity must be the applicant and the others must be proposed as subrecipients. The applicant must be the entity with primary responsibility for conducting and leading the project. Award recipients should provide program services to youth who were adjudicated prior to their 25th birthday. Further, applicants may continue to implement a reentry plan for these individuals beyond their 25th birthday. OJJDP does not have a set timeline for terminating these services; they can continue as long as is deemed therapeutically necessary. 06/01/2015 This program does not have cost sharing or matching requirements.
