'Public Safety'

The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in the U.S. Department of Justice announced several available FY2023 federal grant opportunities related to substance abuse, mental health, reentry, and veterans. Below are the grants where municipalities are eligible to apply, along with a description, applicable webinars, and application deadlines. Please note that these grant opportunities require a two-step application process through separate federal grant systems administered by grants.gov and justgrants.gov. 

In the final week of December, the House and Senate passed a $1.7 trillion FY2023 federal budget through September 30, 2023. President Biden signed the bill on December 29. Below are New Jersey-specific provisions and other provisions of interest to municipalities. Due to the length and breadth of information, this is the second of two blog posts. The first blog post focuses on New Jersey Specific Provisions; Transportation and Infrastructure; Healthcare; and Environment. This blog focuses on housing, community, and economic development; science and innovation; public safety and justice; finance services and general government; veterans; and community-directed spending.
