Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2021 44001
The Restrictive Housing Reform Implementation Assistance Program is a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), U.S. Department of Justice discretionary funding opportunity designed to help state correctional agencies reduce their reliance on restrictive housing by improving day-to-day policy, training, and operational practice. The core purpose is implementation support, not just research or planning: BJA is looking for a single organization (supported by subject matter experts) that can provide hands-on training and technical assistance to help agencies make real changes in how they manage housing decisions, respond to behavioral issues, and use safer, more effective alternatives.
The funded organization would serve as a national training and technical assistance provider focused on restrictive housing reform. That work is expected to include helping state corrections agencies assess current practices, revise or create policies, update staff training curricula, and adopt alternative strategies that can reduce or replace restrictive housing use while maintaining facility safety. In addition to direct assistance to selected agencies, the provider is also expected to develop practical tools and resources that can be shared broadly across the corrections field, so that lessons learned and usable materials are available to all correctional agencies, not only those receiving direct support.
This opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal government typically has substantial involvement in shaping and overseeing the work during the award period, more so than under a standard grant. The program sits within the Law, Justice and Legal Services category and is associated with CFDA 16.738. The solicitation reflects DOJ priorities around civil rights, access to justice, community trust, and public safety, positioning restrictive housing reduction as part of broader justice system improvements.
Eligible applicants are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other than small businesses), and other eligible entities as further clarified in the solicitation. The wide eligibility suggests BJA is open to applicants with the operational capacity to deliver nationwide training and technical assistance, whether that capacity is housed in a university-based center, a nonprofit technical assistance organization, or a qualified private provider.
Funding details indicate an anticipated single award with a maximum (award ceiling) of $2,100,000. The opportunity was created on June 24, 2021, with an original application deadline of August 10, 2021. The funding opportunity number is O-BJA-2021-44001, and the administering agency is the Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance.Apply for O BJA 2021 44001
