Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2023 171722
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), under the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (OJP), offered this FY 2023 National Public Safety Partnership (PSP) Capacity Building Grant as a limited competition discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number: O-BJA-2023-171722; CFDA: 16.738). The core purpose is to help selected jurisdictions that have already participated in the National PSP secure practical resources identified through PSP assessments, so they can better carry out their PSP Strategic Plan goals, reduce crime, strengthen public safety, and build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Consistent with broader OJP priorities, the solicitation emphasizes work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, improves access to justice, supports victims and people impacted by the justice system, and addresses evolving public safety threats while strengthening legitimacy and community confidence in the justice system.
This funding is specifically designed as a capacity-building boost for agencies that have already been engaged in PSP work long enough to have clear assessment findings and recommended improvements. Eligibility is restricted to state or local prosecutors and local law enforcement agencies that participated in the National PSP and have completed at least two years in the program, or that finished the program within the prior year. The intent is not to start new PSP sites, but to help existing PSP participants implement recommendations and close gaps identified during their assessment and strategic planning process. In practice, this means the grant targets tangible needs that can accelerate implementation and improve performance in areas the PSP process has already prioritized.
The competition is limited to applicants from a defined list of cities, and applicants must be the police department, a local prosecutorial agency, or another governmental agency serving as the fiscal agent on behalf of those entities in the eligible jurisdiction. The listed eligible cities are: Anchorage, Alaska; Antioch, California; Aurora, Colorado; Baltimore, Maryland; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Charleston, South Carolina; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Cleveland, Ohio; Davenport, Iowa; Gary, Indiana; Miami, Florida; Kansas City, Missouri; Louisville, Kentucky; North Charleston, South Carolina; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Phoenix, Arizona; Richmond, Virginia; Shreveport, Louisiana; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Wichita, Kansas. Only those agencies tied to these jurisdictions, and meeting the PSP participation/time-in-program requirement, are eligible under this solicitation.
From an award standpoint, the opportunity is structured as a grant with an award ceiling of up to $500,000 per award. The solicitation posting date was April 10, 2023, and the original application closing date was June 5, 2023. While the synopsis does not list a specific number of expected awards, the limited-competition design and the defined city list indicate that awards were intended for a narrow set of qualified PSP participant sites to fund targeted, assessment-driven capacity improvements rather than broad nationwide expansion.Apply for O BJA 2023 171722
