BJA FY 2026 Justice Reinvestment Initiative: Strengthening State and Local Operations to Reduce Crime and Recidivism

This grant supports state, local, and tribal governments in reducing wasteful spending and redirecting resources to target crime and public-safety challenges. It funds projects that use existing data to identify urgent justice-system issues and refocus resources on strategies and populations most likely to lower crime, across areas such as law enforcement, courts, sentencing, corrections, probation, and parole.
