This grant, offered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), is for establishing or enhancing collaborative programs that improve public safety by addressing the needs of individuals with mental illness or co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders who interact with the justice system. The BJA seeks applications from eligible partners to develop, implement, or expand innovative cross-system collaborations between criminal justice and mental health agencies. The primary goal is to foster coordinated efforts that divert individuals from the justice system when appropriate, provide effective treatment, and reduce recidivism. This initiative supports projects that demonstrate a clear strategy for integrated services, aiming to create safer communities through a more humane and effective response to these complex challenges.
