Description
BJA
seeks applications for the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program. This
program furthers the Departments mission by leading efforts to enhance the
capacity of local and tribal communities to effectively target and address
significant and violent crime issues through collaborative cross-sector
approaches that are linked with broader neighborhood development goals.
Eligible applicants are limited to states, institutions of higher education
(including tribal institutions of higher education), units of local government,
nonprofit organizations (including tribal nonprofit organizations), and
federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary
of the Interior) as fiscal agent. The goal of BCJI is to reduce crime, increase
trust, and improve community safety as part of a comprehensive strategy to
advance neighborhood revitalization. Through a broad cross-sector partnership
team, including neighborhood residents, BCJI grantees target neighborhoods with
hot spots of violent and serious crime and employ data-driven, cross-sector
strategies to accomplish this goal.
