1. BASIC INFORMATION

Purpose of the Funding

The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is committed to advancing work that furthers the

U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) mission to keep our country safe and secure and uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of American citizens. OJP provides federal leadership, funding, and other critical resources to directly support law enforcement, combat violent crime, protect American children, provide services to American crime victims, and address public safety challenges, including human trafficking and the opioid crisis.

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the BJA FY2026 Adult Treatment

Court Program. This opportunity supports the implementation and enhancement of

Adult Treatment Court (ATC) operations to prevent overdoses and reduce the use of opioids, stimulants, and other substances by high-risk/high-need adults in the criminal justice system.

Adult Treatment Courts (ATCs) combine judicial supervision, substance use disorder treatment, mandatory and random drug testing, case management, sanctions and incentives, and recovery support services to improve participant outcomes and public safety.

The Adult Treatment Court Program statute (34 U.S.C. §§ 10611–10619) identifies the following allowable uses of funding:

• Developing or enhancing an adult treatment court that integrates evidence‑based substance use disorder treatment and coordinated supervision.

• Conducting clinical screening and assessment to identify substance use disorders and other treatment needs among participants.

• Providing access to evidence‑based treatment services, including medication‑assisted treatment when clinically appropriate.

• Administering mandatory and random drug testing as part of program monitoring.

Implementing graduated sanctions, incentives, and judicial supervision to support participant accountability and recovery.

• Providing recovery support services such as peer support, relapse prevention services, housing assistance, employment support, or other services that facilitate long‑term stability.

BJA’s Adult Treatment Court Program strengthens public safety by helping jurisdictions address substance use and reduce recidivism through structured treatment and supervision. Activities that go beyond the allowable uses of funding as described above will not be funded.

U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Bureau of Justice Assistance | 4

This NOFO provides three categories of funding:

• Category 1: Planning and Implementation: six-month planning phase followed by launch of a new ATC

• Category 2: Enhancement: projects to support or expand services provided by a fully operational ATC.

• Category 3: Statewide: funds enabling state applicants to implement one-time projects that sustainably improve, enhance, or expand statewide ATC services.

Violent Offender Prohibition

Under the Adult Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program authorization, BJA funds may not be used to serve persons who are “violent offenders.” This prohibition applies to programs or activities funded by the BJA award, including match funds contributed by the grantee.

A person who is presently charged with an offense as described in 34 U.S.C. §

10613(a)(1) would be ineligible to participate.

Disqualifying convictions are only those convictions indicated in 34 U.S.C. §10613(a)(1) that occur after the initiation of proceedings that led to the person’s consideration for participation in the drug court program, whereas 34 U.S.C. § 10613(a)(2) only speaks to those convictions that occurred prior to the initiation of those proceedings.

Note: Not included in the “violent offender” definition are charges that are dropped or reduced to a nonviolent offense or charged prior to a person’s participation in the program, or convictions punishable by less than one year of incarceration. Answers to questions about the “violent offender” prohibition can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions from BJA's funding website.

Note: Grantees may use other funds for their treatment court programs and serve these participants using those other funds. Grantees must be able to track these expenditures to ensure the separation of funds. Documentation must be maintained for audit purposes as necessary.

Controlled Substances Act

Award recipients are prohibited from using federal funds to support programs or activities that violate the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 801, et seq., regardless of local or state practices or laws. Programs or activities funded under a BJA ATC award must ensure that participants are periodically tested for the use of controlled substances.

Note: Dedicated funding for Veterans Treatment Courts (VTCs) is available through a separate BJA Veterans Treatment Court Program NOFO. Applicants whose primary focus is planning, implementing, or enhancing a VTC should apply under that opportunity.
