Source: GAO analysis of grant solicitations.We also found greater variation, and thus less overlap, when assessing
the primary services these nine grant programs fund, as shown in table 5.
Across the nine programs, one grant program covered a wide range of
reentry services; two programs' primary services were mental health and
substance abuse; one program's primary services were employment and
life, family, and parenting skills; and the remaining five programs had one
or no primary use of funding. For example, DOJ's Residential Substance
Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners primarily funded substance abuse
treatment for state prisoners, and Labor's RExO program primarily funded
services for employment assistance. Analyzing the data from the vantage
point of the primary services, the greatest number of programs-four of
the nine-focused funding primarily on substance abuse treatment, a
different grouping of three programs focused its funding for health issues,
another set of three focused on mental health and substance abuse
treatment, and another set of three focused on employment. Because of
the range in primary services that these programs fund, the overlap in this
area is minimal as well.GAO-13-93 Inmate Reentry Programs
