Details:
The overall goals of the FY 2022 SCA Pay for Success Initiative are to enhance public safety, lower recidivism, and improve the lives of those individuals leaving the criminal justice system. The goals for each category are to increase access to programming for and reduce recidivism in the target reentry population.
Objectives
- Enhance already established performance-based and outcomes-based contracts to provide individualized reentry services or PSH for people leaving incarceration who are identified through a validated risk tool as being at moderate to high risk to reoffend in the community.
- Manage the performance-based or outcomes-based reentry service or PSH contract, including data and report collection, regular performance and outcome reviews between the governments and service provider, on- and offsite monitoring, outcomes validation, and incentive payment approvals.
- Ensure government staff and service providers have adequate training on performance-based or outcomes-based procurement, reentry services, PSH, data collection, and outcomes validation.
Funding Information
- The funding during the initial period (no longer than 12 months from the date of final budget approval) prior to service contract finalization should include only costs to support contract initialization and support planning activities followed by 36 months of implementation activities. Implementation may begin after BJA reviews and approves the contract and services begin. The final 6 months will be used to validate the performance targets and outcomes and develop and submit the final report.
- Up to $200,000 of each award may be used to research, price, write, negotiate, and finalize the service contracts, and the rest must be used to fund either performance-based or outcomes-based contracted services.
Eligibility Criteria
- State governments
- Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities
- Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
