About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance is soliciting applications for the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Reallocation Funds Program with a hard deadline of June 10, 2026. Funding supports state, local, and tribal correctional agencies and facilities to prevent, detect, and respond to sexual abuse and sexual harassment while implementing the National PREA Standards.
Eligible applicants are state, local, and tribal correctional agencies and facilities. This is a reallocation funds opportunity, indicating availability of previously appropriated but unobligated resources.
The program operates under CFDA 16.738 (Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program). Recent Byrne awards have ranged from approximately $14,000 to $374,557 for project grants, with performance periods typically spanning two to three years. The source does not specify an award ceiling, floor, or expected number of awards for this specific PREA reallocation solicitation.
Eligible activities include hiring additional personnel, purchasing equipment and supplies, obtaining contractual support, providing training, and developing information systems to improve correctional facility functioning. All activities must directly support PREA compliance and sexual abuse prevention and response.
The review process includes eligibility and responsiveness, merit, programmatic, budget, and risk reviews. Final award decisions are made by the Assistant Attorney General. Successful applicants receive award packages in JustGrants; the Authorized Representative must accept or decline within 45 days of notification. Records must be retained for three years from the date of final expenditure report submission. Award periods may be extended if specific criteria are met.
