Bureau of Justice Assistance

Description

With this solicitation, BJA seeks to fund state, local, and tribal governments to enhance or implement evidence-based activities or services to improve reentry and reduce recidivism by expanding and/or increasing access to housing for people who are currently or formerly involved in the criminal justice system. Prior to the release of incarceration, individuals will be screened, assessed, and identified for program participation. The program will help jurisdictions assess their reentry systems, identify strengths and gaps, and then build capacity for improved housing options for adults released from prison or jail.

Who can apply

• State governments
• County governments
• City or township governments
• Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
• Public housing authorities / Indian housing authorities
• Others
