Opportunity Information: Apply for BJA 2018 13632
The BJA FY 18 Improving Reentry for Adults with Co-occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Illness grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), focused on strengthening reentry services for adults leaving incarceration who have both substance use disorders and mental health conditions. The core purpose is to improve access to treatment and the overall delivery of coordinated supports during the transition from jail or prison back into the community. BJA is targeting a well-documented challenge in corrections and community supervision: many returning individuals have overlapping clinical needs that, if left unaddressed, make it harder to comply with probation or parole requirements, increase instability, and raise the risk of recidivism. By funding improved reentry planning and service linkage, the program aims to reduce repeat involvement with the justice system and support broader public safety outcomes.
A central theme of the opportunity is collaboration across systems that too often operate separately. BJA emphasizes coordination among corrections agencies, substance use treatment providers, mental health treatment providers, correctional health programs, and community supervision (parole and probation). The intent is to move beyond fragmented referrals and instead build collaborative, comprehensive case planning that is shared across partners. These case plans are expected to address three interconnected areas at once: criminogenic risk factors (the drivers of criminal behavior and reoffending), substance use needs, and mental health needs. In practice, this means grantees are expected to support approaches where reentry planning starts before release, continuity of care is maintained after release, and supervision strategies align with treatment and recovery goals rather than working at cross-purposes.
In terms of who can apply and what the funding looks like, eligible applicants include state governments and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is categorized under several public-service areas that reflect its cross-cutting nature, including law and justice, health, education, employment and training, and community development. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.812. The opportunity was created on May 2, 2018, with an original application deadline of June 18, 2018. BJA anticipated making about six awards, with an award ceiling of up to $750,000 per award, signaling an expectation of fairly robust, multi-partner projects capable of coordinating services and building sustainable reentry workflows.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to help jurisdictions improve the way they identify, plan for, and respond to the needs of adults with co-occurring disorders at the most vulnerable point in the justice process: the handoff from incarceration to the community. The program is built on the idea that reentry outcomes improve when corrections, treatment, health, and supervision partners jointly develop and carry out an integrated plan that supports treatment engagement and reduces the likelihood of reoffending.Apply for BJA 2018 13632
