This federal Project Grant award of $550,000 was provided by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the Criminal and Juvenile Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (CFDA 16.745).

Specifically, the grant will fund courtroom assessments and a program evaluation in partnership with the Center for Justice Innovation, with the goal of informing system-wide changes to the justice system in Orange County and beyond. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
