BYRNE STATE CRISIS INTERVENTION PROGRAM (SCIP) FY2022-2023 REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS SPECIALIZED COURT-BASED PROGRAMS

CACJ and CJCC are accepting applications for the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program.

Applicants are limited to units of local government in the State of Georgia to apply on behalf of accountability courts that provide criminal justice and civil proceeding services for the “less-than-$10,000 jurisdictions” within Georgia. To qualify as a “less-than” jurisdiction, the court must provide services to a local government that was not eligible to receive a direct JAG award fund due to not meeting federal formula thresholds in FY 2021 and FY 2022. A list of eligible localities is listed in the Appendix.

For this project, grant funds can be used by eligible accountability courts to expand the capacity of existing accountability courts to assist participants who may be most likely to become involved with violent crime and support the implementation of peer support programing, which is a vital part of the continuum of care for efforts to combat the effects of violence. Funding will specifically support the implementation (including specialists’ certifications and training) of peer support programing, which is a vital part of the continuum of care for efforts to combat the effects of gun violence.

Applicants are limited to existing accountability courts.  The application, budget detail worksheet, and submission link are each located on the CJCC website by accessing the provided link below.

On Thursday, September 19, 2024, at 2 p.m., the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council will host a virtual webinar for the RFA. To register for the webinar, please email [email protected] with your full contact information.

Applications are due by 5:00pm, October 11, 2024.
