BJA FY 22 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program - Local Solicitation

By law, for purposes of the JAG Program, the term “units of local government” includes a town, township, village, parish, city, county, borough, or other general-purpose political subdivision of a state; or it may be a federally recognized American Indian tribal government that performs law enforcement functions (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior). A unit of local government also may be any law enforcement district or judicial enforcement district established under applicable state law with authority to independently establish a budget and impose taxes; for example, in Louisiana, a unit of local government means a district attorney or parish sheriff. The eligible allocations by state for the fiscal year (FY) 2022 JAG Program can be found at: https://bja.ojp.gov/program/jag/fy-2022-allocations. Eligible allocations under JAG are posted annually on the JAG web page. See the allocation determination and “Units of Local Government” requirements section for more information.  Applicants with eligible allocation amounts of less than $25,000 will apply to Category 1, and applicants with eligible allocation amounts of $25,000 or more will apply to Category 2. All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee.
