About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance is soliciting applications for the FY 2026 Adult Treatment Court Program to support implementation and enhancement of court operations that reduce substance use and prevent overdoses among high-risk adults in the criminal justice system, with an SF-424 submission deadline of October 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET. All applicants must satisfy a mandatory 25 percent cost-sharing requirement.
Three funding categories are available with distinct award ceilings and eligible applicants. Categories 1 and 2 are open to state governments, county governments, city and township governments, federally recognized Native American Tribal governments, and other units of local government. Category 1 (Planning and Implementation) supports a six-month planning phase followed by new adult treatment court launch, with an award ceiling of up to $950,000 and nine anticipated awards. Category 2 (Enhancement) supports services at fully operational treatment courts, with an award ceiling of up to $1,025,750 and 30 anticipated awards. Category 3 (Statewide) is limited to state agencies and provides up to $2,500,000 for sustainable statewide improvement projects, with four anticipated awards. The total anticipated funding across all three categories is approximately $49.3 million.
