Second Chance Reauthorization Act of 2024

This bill extends funding for existing reentry programs through 2029, updating previous expiration dates from 2023 to 2029. It specifically adds new provisions requiring funded programs to address substance use disorders through peer recovery services, case management, overdose education, and access to reversal medications, as well as provide reentry housing services. The bill directly affects state and local reentry demonstration projects, family-based substance abuse treatment programs, prison/jail educational initiatives, job training grants, and nonprofit mentoring services. These changes maintain current program structures while expanding access to critical health and housing supports for individuals reentering communities after incarceration.
