Bureau of Justice Assistance

Description

This NOFO will support the implementation and enhancement of veterans treatment court (VTC) operations. VTCs connect justice-involved veterans to treatment for substance use disorders (SUD), mental health disorders (MHD), co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (MHSUD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Funding supports service coordination, and recovery support services. VTCs integrate mandatory drug testing, incentives and sanctions, and transitional services in judicially supervised criminal court settings that have jurisdiction over veterans with behavioral health treatment needs. These courts aim to reduce recidivism and overdose fatalities, while increasing access to treatment and recovery support that leads to long-term recovery.

Who can apply

• State governments
• County governments
• City or township governments
• Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)
• Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized)
