FY24 Planning and Implementation Guide for Second Chance Act Smart Reentry: Housing Demonstration Program
This guide from The Council of State Governments Justice Center is intended to support recipients of Second Chance Act grants administered by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance.
