Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2023 171782
The BJA FY 2023 Invited to Apply - Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Reallocation Funds Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). It is designed to help confinement facilities and related justice stakeholders strengthen and sustain a "zero tolerance" culture for sexual abuse and sexual harassment in custody settings. The overall purpose aligns with OJP priorities that emphasize protecting civil rights, advancing racial equity, improving access to justice, supporting victims and justice-involved individuals, strengthening public safety, and building trust between communities and the justice system.
At its core, the program aims to support efforts nationwide that prevent, detect, and respond appropriately to sexual misconduct in confinement environments. While the notice does not list specific activities in the excerpt provided, the program focus suggests funding is meant to help agencies and facilities implement or enhance PREA-aligned practices that reduce risk, improve safety, and ensure accountability. This typically connects to operational reforms that promote safer conditions for people in custody as well as for staff, contractors, and volunteers, and reinforces professional standards that treat sexual abuse and sexual harassment as unacceptable and actionable.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number O-BJA-2023-171782 and is categorized as a grant under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity area. The associated CFDA number is 16.738. The agency expected to make about 26 awards, with an award ceiling of $424,806 per award. The opportunity was created on June 30, 2023, and the original application closing date was August 11, 2023, indicating it was time-limited and tied to FY 2023 funding availability.
Eligibility is described as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being located in the solicitation's "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. The title "Invited to Apply" also indicates the applicant pool may have been limited or targeted, commonly meaning only certain entities identified by BJA were eligible to submit an application under this reallocation funding round.
The statutory authority for the program is grounded in federal law supporting PREA implementation and justice assistance authorities. Specifically, it cites Pub. L. No. 108-79, sec. 8(e), codified at 34 U.S.C. 30307(e), along with provisions from Pub. L. No. 90-351, Title I, Part E, Subpart 1, codified at 34 U.S.C. 10151-10158. These authorities support BJA's role in providing assistance to improve justice system functions and advance PREA-related goals in confinement facilities.
Overall, the opportunity can be summarized as a federal grant mechanism used to direct reallocated funds toward strengthening PREA-related prevention and response efforts in confinement settings, reinforcing a consistent national expectation of zero tolerance for sexual abuse and sexual harassment, and supporting broader DOJ priorities around rights, equity, safety, and trust.Apply for O BJA 2023 171782
