Bill > S1843

This bill reauthorizes and extends several existing federal programs designed to support prisoner reentry and rehabilitation through the Second Chance Act of 2007. Specifically, the bill extends funding authorization for multiple grant programs from the current period (2019-2023) to a new period of 2026-2030. The bill expands eligible activities for state and local reentry demonstration projects to include treating substance use disorders through peer recovery services, case management, overdose education, overdose reversal medications, and providing reentry housing services. The programs being reauthorized cover a range of support services, including family-based substance abuse treatment, educational improvements in prisons and juvenile facilities, career training demonstration grants, offender reentry substance abuse and criminal justice collaboration, and community-based mentoring and transitional service grants. By extending these programs, the bill aims to continue supporting individuals transitioning from incarceration back into their communities, with a focus on reducing recidivism and helping former inmates successfully reintegrate into society through comprehensive support services.
