Grant Description

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is pleased to announce that it is seeking applications for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ("Recovery Act"). The Recovery Act - Correctional Facilities on Tribal Lands Program provides resources to allow eligible American Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages to construct correctional facilities on tribal lands, with consideration given to the detention bed space needs and the violent crime statistics of the applicant tribe or village. The grant program will allow eligible applicants to apply for a grant within one or more of five categories: 1) construction of tribal detention facilities; 2) construction of multipurpose justice centers; 3) renovation of existing detention facilities; 4) construction of alternative sentencing facilities; and 5) provision of training and technical assistance on national-level. Applicants for Categories I-IV are limited to federally recognized Indian tribes, including Alaska Native villages and corporations, and authorized intertribal consortia. For Category V, applicants are limited to tribal and non-tribal for-profit (commercial) organizations, non-profit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher learning, and consortiums with demonstrated national level experience in working with tribal representatives to plan, renovate, and construct correctional facilities that serve local and regional needs. Applicants will be encouraged to partner with other tribes, local government agencies, state government agencies, and training and technical assistance providers. The Recovery Act Correctional Facilities on Tribal Lands Program will solicit applications from tribes or villages that can document that they have been through a facility construction and/or renovation planning process, and priority will be given to projects that are prepared to begin construction and/or renovation of a facility within 180 days. The announcement will also solicit applications for a national training and technical assistance provider to support tribal efforts in construction of correctional facilities. Applications for funding should be submitted through the on-line OJP Grants Management System (GMS).
