About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, is soliciting cooperative agreement applications to provide specialized training and technical assistance (TTA) to awardees of the FY2025 Public Safety and Mental Health Initiative. The initiative will deliver targeted support across four core implementation areas: Crisis Stabilization, Treatment Services, Housing, and Electronic Health Record (EHR) Systems and Technology Modernization. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, for-profit organizations, small businesses, higher education institutions, and other qualified entities. The primary objective is to help grantees effectively implement comprehensive service networks that address individuals with untreated mental illness and substance use across community, justice, and behavioral health systems through actionable resources and targeted skill development. Proposals will be evaluated based on merit, programmatic effectiveness, budget appropriateness, and organizational risk factors, with selection criteria detailed in the formal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The application deadline is April 20, 2026, with the opportunity posted on March 26, 2026.
While specific award amounts are not stated in the primary opportunity description, historical awards under related programs (Criminal and Juvenile Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program and Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and other Substances Use Program) typically range from $250,000 to $8.9 million over project periods of 12 to 36 months, with three-year periods being most common. The TTA initiative will support multiple grantees across the nation simultaneously, requiring the selected applicant(s) to provide sustained technical assistance and capacity-building support throughout the entire performance period. Place of performance will include federal, state, local, and tribal jurisdictions across the United States where PSMHI awardees are implementing their comprehensive behavioral health and public safety initiatives.
