The Justice Department recently announced the opening of the 2024
Coordinated Tribal Assistance
Solicitation (CTAS) period for comprehensive funding to
American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes. CTAS funding supports
crime prevention activities, victim services, and corresponding
community responses to violence in Indian Country.
Administered by the department’s Office of Justice Programs (OJP)
and Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), the
solicitation includes guidance on how federally recognized Tribal
governments and Tribal consortia can apply for funding to aid in
the development of a comprehensive and coordinated approach to
public safety and victimization.
The funding from OJP’s Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and Office for
Victims of Crime, along with funding from the COPS Office, can be
used for a range of public safety and justice-related projects
and services. These include improving law enforcement, evolving
fair and effective adult and juvenile justice systems and
reducing juvenile delinquency, and improving youth results.
Additionally, the grants serve American Indian and Alaska Native
victims of child abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence and
elder abuse.
The
grants.gov application deadline for CTAS is March 5,
2024, at 8:59 p.m. ET, and the JustGrants deadline is
March 12, 2024, at 8:59 p.m. ET. Lastly, the
department will also facilitate a series of webinars to guide
applicants through the application process. Details, including
how to register for these webinars, will be made available online
in the coming weeks
here.
