Grants and funding

Administered by BJA in partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, this initiative provides funding to state, local, and tribal government entities that are experiencing precipitous increases in gun-related violent crime.

This initiative supports state, local, and federally recognized tribal governments to establish and enhance community courts, which are neighborhood-focused court programs that combine the power of the community and the justice system to address local problems.

This initiative provides support to prosecutors, defense counsel, and the judiciary on implementing improvements throughout the field of capital case litigation, while supporting litigators with the tools and resources to mitigate risk for error.

This formula grant program is the leading federal source of criminal justice funding to states, territories, local governments, and tribes. It provides critical funding necessary to support a range of program areas.
