The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking applications for funding to improve public safety and victim services in tribal communities.
Donor Name: Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA)
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 03/21/2023
Size of the Grant: $24,000,000
Grant Duration: 60 months
Details:
This solicitation provides federally recognized tribes and tribal consortia an opportunity to apply for funding to aid in developing a comprehensive and coordinated approach to public safety and victimization. The majority of DOJ’s existing tribal government-specific programs are included in and available through this single Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation.
CTAS combines many of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) existing tribal government specific competitive solicitations into a single solicitation requiring only one application from each tribe or tribal consortium. This approach reduces the number of applications required to access funding and provides federally recognized tribes, tribal consortia, and tribal designees the opportunity to develop a comprehensive approach to tribal justice, public safety, and victimization issues.
Purpose Areas
The DOJ-specific competitive grant programs outlined in this CTAS are referred to as “purpose areas.” Applicants may apply for funding under one or more purpose area(s) that best address tribal concerns related to public safety, criminal and juvenile justice, domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, and other crimes. Below is a list of the seven purpose areas and their components. Note: In FY 2023, Purpose Areas 5 and 7 are not included in CTAS.
