This fact sheet provides information on a grant program, the Pay for Success Initiative, which is authorized by the Second Chance Act (SCA). The SCA supports federal grants for vital programs and systems reform aimed at improving the reentry process for youth and adults who are leaving detention or incarceration. SCA grants are administered and funded by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP). This factsheet lays out the purpose of the Pay for Success Initiative, an outcomes-based contracting (OBC) that ties payment for services to reaching agreed-upon program goals. The grant program supports OBC for reentry services and permanent supportive housing (PSH); it has two categories: performance-based and outcomes-based contracting for reentry services; and performance-based and outcomes-based contracting for PSH. The factsheet lists entities that are eligible to apply, objectives, funding amount, and award period.
