Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program, FY2024

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is seeking applications for funding programs that support cross-system collaboration to improve public safety responses and outcomes for individuals with mental health disorders (MHDs) or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (MHSUDs). BJA provides grant funding to help organizations prepare, create, or expand comprehensive plans and implement these collaborative projects to target qualified people.

For the FY24 solicitation, the program will focus on pretrial, prosecution, courts, probation/parole, and addressing the needs directly related to the criminal activity of adults with mental health conditions, living in homelessness or marginalized communities with minimal access to treatment, needing wrap-around services, in the criminal justice system and leaving incarceration.

Eligible entities include state governments, special districts, and city and county governments.
