The Bureau of Justice Assistance is seeking applications for their Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 National Community Courts Site-based and Training and Technical Assistance Initiative, which provides support to state, local, and tribal court jurisdictions to support the creation of effective responses to low-level, non-violent offenses.
Under this funding opportunity, BJA is seeking applications under two categories. The first assists existing community court programs that address issues—such as substance abuse—using evidence-based practices. The second category funds national-scope organizations that support community court grantees and practitioners in addressing these types of low-level, non-violent offenses that enhance public safety, prevent crime, and address substance abuse.
The deadline for submissions for both categories is 11:59 p.m. ET on May 1, 2020.
