Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2022 171096
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), within the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (OJP), offered the FY 2022 grant opportunity titled "Improving Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Outcomes for Adults in Reentry" (Funding Opportunity Number: O-BJA-2022-171096). This is a discretionary grant program under CFDA 16.812, created on April 1, 2022, with an original closing date of May 27, 2022. The program sits within OJP's broader goals of advancing civil rights and racial equity, improving access to justice, strengthening public safety, supporting people harmed by crime or justice involvement, and building trust between communities and the justice system.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to improve substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery support for adults who are incarcerated and then returning to the community, with the long-term aim of reducing recidivism and supporting stable recovery after release. The solicitation emphasizes that reentry is a high-risk period for relapse and overdose, and it encourages applicants to strengthen the continuity of care from confinement to the community. It is designed to help corrections agencies and community-based service providers work together so that evidence-based treatment is available while a person is in custody and remains available and connected immediately upon release. The program also explicitly highlights the needs of particularly vulnerable groups within the reentry population, including parents of minor children and pregnant or postpartum women.
A major priority in this solicitation is expanding the use of evidence-based SUD treatment, especially medication-assisted treatment (MAT), described in the notice as the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies. Because of the ongoing opioid and overdose crises, BJA indicates it will prioritize applications that implement MAT for the first time or expand existing MAT capacity in both institutional settings and reentry contexts. In practice, this focus signals that competitive proposals are expected to do more than provide general counseling or referral lists; they should show a credible plan for delivering clinically appropriate treatment, coordinating behavioral health services, and ensuring people can continue the same treatment regimen as they transition from jail or prison to community care.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments); and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The award ceiling listed is $900,000, and BJA anticipated making about 8 awards, indicating a competitive national funding pool with relatively limited awards compared to likely demand.
This solicitation is also part of the FY 2022 Second Chance Act (SCA) suite of programs, meaning it aligns with a larger federal investment strategy focused on reentry and reducing reoffending. The SCA suite referenced in the description includes several parallel opportunities (such as community-based reentry, education and employment outcomes, Pay for Success, supervision models like Swift, Certain, and Fair and HOPE, smart reentry and supervision with technical assistance, and other change-oriented tools). The notice makes the point that not every applicant is eligible for every SCA program and encourages organizations to read each solicitation carefully to confirm eligibility and fit. Overall, this particular grant opportunity targets systems-level improvements and partnerships that can deliver effective SUD treatment during incarceration and sustain recovery supports through reentry, with MAT expansion positioned as one of the most important and preferred strategies.Apply for O BJA 2022 171096
