The email chain is really encouraging, both for this particular RFP and as
an indicator of your appetite for collaboration! It seems like it would
be helpful to have an ad hoc meeting among organizations that might be
interested in participating, and also to identify one or two organizations
that might be interested in taking a lead. I would be happy to help
facilitate this conversation to explore the opportunities to build
collective impact into this proposal. So, I will assume that people who
responded are interested in participating in the meeting. If you didn't
respond, feel free to join in now. Also, please indicate any interest in
playing a leadership role. Thanks.
Best,
Susan

Great idea Jamilah.
Last year the City sent a similar letter to the DOL in response to another
RFP. I believe the DOL issued an amendment that allowed for providers to
serve 16 year olds who have been involved in the adult justice system.

Hello All,
I have a suggestion. Maybe we are not ready for this yet but...in terms of
the part of our mission that supports advocacy maybe we should give it a
try.
How about drafting something from the network that speaks to how this
clause discriminates against all NY orgs? This is the second RFP that has
been written in a way that means that orgs in NY state are not eligible
simply due to that fact that NY prosecutes 16 year olds as adults.
Just a thought....

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

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.

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. Information about
other Department of Labor employment and training programs also is
available at http://www.doleta.gov.
