What about the other one, Reintegration of Ex-Offenders (RExO) Adult
Generation 5 ?

Hello all,

This was GOSO's conclusion as well.  All of our guys are adjudicated as
adults so we determined this was not for us.  We would be open to
supporting other organizations that are a better fit in any way.

Thanks.

Paul

Hi all - 

The issue that Jamilah raises is a really compelling one, and has been
an issue in New York for some years (with respect to jurisdiction).  

DCJS and OJJDP, over the last 20 years, have not funded programs that
were targeting JO's (Juvenile Offenders, ages 13 - 15, held in DJJ
custody, but prosecuted automatically as adults by virtue of crime
charged) nor programs focusing on 16 and 17's, because they were outside
the state's juvenile justice jurisdiction.  

Friends will not be applying directly to the Department of Labor rfp -
but would be a willing subcontractor/partner/collaborator/conspirator.

I think just about everyone is in RFP hell right now - but I'd be happy
to explore this further.  I will take a closer look at it and will email
any clever ideas. 
Thanks Jamilah.

PAL would also be interested in a possible collaboration for the
Juvenile program.

Has anyone looked at the RFP in depth. It sounds like one that came out
last year. NY orgs were excluded because of the clause that youth can't
be charged as adults before 18 and NY charges all our youth as adults at
16 irrespective of severity of offense.

Dear NYREN members, 
Many of you have probably seen the RFP, described below, from the US DOL
for educational interventions connected to reentry.  I looked at RFP,
and it seemed to me that it might provide an opportunity for at least
some of the NYREN organizations to collaborate in a concrete effort to
build collective impact, and in the process to increase funding to
members of the network.  I realize that this particular grant
opportunity may be too soon (proposals are due on March 13 for the
Reentry of Ex-Offenders Adult Generation and on April 17 for the
"Serving Young Adult Ex-Offenders through Training and
Service-Learning.")  It may also  be that some NYREN organizations are
already planning to apply for this grant.  I didn't want to miss the
opportunity to explore possibilities for collaboration among
organizations that might enhance collective impact and, in the process,
perhaps increase the scope and service alignment of any particular
proposal and thus the competitiveness of any proposals from NYREN
members.  If the Center can be helpful in facilitating those systems
linkages, we would be happy to do so.  Even if this particular
opportunity isn't one we are ready to pursue, I didn't want to miss the
chance to begin to explore how funding opportunities might enhance the
sustainability and support for NYREN orgs and the systemic impact of the
network itself. 

See the announcement below for more details. 

All best, 
Susan

US Department of Labor announces availability of funds to help young
adult former offenders get on right track through training and service
learning
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the
availability of approximately $30 million in grants through its Training
and Service Learning program for projects to help young adult
ex-offenders gain valuable jobs skills while giving back to their
communities through service. 
"We are a country that believes in second chances," said Secretary of
Labor Hilda L. Solis. "The grant competition announced today will fund
programs that give young people the chance to get their lives back on
track by serving their communities and learning new skills." 
Awarded through a competitive process, the grants will provide
participants with meaningful community service projects and service
learning opportunities, educational intervention to help them earn high
school diplomas and industry recognized credentials, a career
development component that seeks to place each participant in a job that
also teaches skills, and post-program support and follow-up. 
The department expects to award a minimum of 20 grants. Any nonprofit
organization, unit of state or local government, and Indian or Native
American entity eligible for grants under the Workforce Investment Act's
Section 166 may apply. 
Full eligibility information is included in a solicitation for grant
applications published in today's Federal Register that can be viewed
online at http://www.doleta.gov/grants/find_grants.cfm
<http://www.doleta.gov/grants/find_grants.cfm> . Information about other
Department of Labor employment and training programs also is available
