Mayor Sharon Weston Broome and Dr. Joyce M. Plummer, RCBR Project Director present the following grant opportunities for your information and use:

6/9/2020	DOJ-BJA	BJA's STOP School Violence Program	No	150	Up to $2m	$71.5m	Yes	Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Independent school districts Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) County governments Public and State controlled institutions of higher education City or township governments Special district governments State governments	Prison populations across the country have been severely impacted by the increased incarceration of individuals with mental illness. Individuals with mental illness are often associated with higher recidivism rates due to their limited access to mental health and other support services upon release. In many states, a shortage of mental health resources directly correlates to the overcrowding of prison systems. Under this initiative, BJA will select one application to establish a statewide pilot program that partners with the appropriate agencies within the state, such as the Department of Mental Health/Behavioral Health and Department of Corrections, to establish a collaborative prison anti-recidivism effort to provide comprehensive care before, during, and after incarceration for persons with serious mental illness, with a goal of reducing recidivism.
