Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2022 171346
The BJA FY 22 Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) grant (Funding Opportunity Number: O-BJA-2022-171346) is a mandatory, nationwide Department of Justice initiative administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). Its core purpose is to reduce violent crime and improve community safety by bringing key partners to the same table and focusing resources on the most urgent violence problems in each community. PSN is designed as a coordinated strategy rather than a single-program approach, emphasizing joint planning, shared accountability, and locally tailored interventions that are grounded in data and community input.
PSN is organized around collaboration across federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement; prosecutors; community-based organizations; and other stakeholders who can influence violence trends and public trust. A defining feature of the program is that it is coordinated through the U.S. Attorneys' Offices (USAOs) in each of the 94 federal judicial districts across the 50 states and U.S. territories. That structure is meant to ensure consistent federal leadership while still allowing each district to concentrate on the specific violence drivers in its jurisdiction, whether those involve firearms violence, gang or group-involved conflicts, repeat violent offenders, or other local patterns.
The opportunity reflects OJP priorities that go beyond enforcement outcomes alone. The program description explicitly ties PSN work to advancing civil rights and racial equity, increasing access to justice, supporting crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and the community. In practical terms, that framing signals an expectation that funded strategies should be comprehensive and balanced: pairing targeted enforcement and prosecution with prevention, intervention, and community engagement approaches, while also paying close attention to fairness, legitimacy, and the experiences of communities most affected by violence and criminal justice involvement.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a grant with an activity category labeled "Humanities (see Cultural Affairs in CFDA)" and is tied to CFDA number 16.609. The posting date is May 18, 2022, with an original application deadline of July 14, 2022. The award ceiling is $915,514, and DOJ anticipated making 93 awards, aligning closely with the 94 judicial districts and suggesting that PSN funding is broadly distributed across districts with amounts that can vary by location and need.
Eligibility is listed as "Others," with clarification referenced in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section (not included in the excerpt). In general, that kind of eligibility label typically indicates the program may be limited to specific designated entities or requires coordination with the USAO-led PSN structure in each district, rather than being open to any organization applying independently without that alignment. Overall, this funding opportunity supports district-based, partnership-driven violent crime reduction plans that combine enforcement, community partnership, and trust-building, while reflecting DOJ and OJP priorities around equity, justice access, and victim and community support.Apply for O BJA 2022 171346
