Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) FY 11 Correctional Systems and Correctional Alternatives on Tribal Lands Training and Technical Assistance (CSCATL TTA) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity focused on helping American Indian and Alaska Native tribes strengthen correctional systems and expand practical alternatives to incarceration. The program is built around providing training and technical assistance rather than directly funding construction or operations. Its purpose is to support tribes as they assess justice system needs, plan for facility projects, and improve community-based responses for adult and juvenile offenders under tribal jurisdiction.
A central part of the program is assistance with the early, high-impact stages of correctional facility work. This includes helping tribes identify gaps and priorities in their justice systems and navigate the planning process for renovating or constructing correctional facilities, multi-purpose justice centers, or facilities that support correctional alternatives. In practice, this kind of technical assistance can include needs assessments, space and program planning, guidance on design considerations, support in aligning facility planning with operational requirements, and other pre-development activities that help tribes move from an identified need to a realistic, well-supported plan.
The second major focus is helping tribes develop, implement, or enhance community-based correctional alternatives, meaning programs that address offender needs outside of institutional detention settings. The announcement emphasizes approaches that reduce unnecessary incarceration while still addressing accountability, public safety, and rehabilitation. Examples listed include diversion programs, substance abuse and mental health treatment services, holdover or sobriety centers, and other problem-solving strategies. The intent is to help tribes build or strengthen local and regional options that can better match responses to risk and need, particularly for individuals whose underlying challenges involve addiction, behavioral health, or other treatable factors.
Legally, the program is authorized under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (Title II, Subtitle A, Public Law 103-322; 42 U.S.C. 13701 et seq.). The announcement also notes that the Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA) of 2009 expanded the scope of Section 20109 of that Act (42 U.S.C. 13709), broadening the underlying Correctional Facilities on Tribal Lands (CFTL) program area that this training and technical assistance effort supports.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity number is BJA-2011-3028 and it is associated with CFDA 16.596, Tribal Justice Facilities Grant Program for Indian Tribes. BJA anticipated making two awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) listed is $850,000, and there is no required cost sharing or matching. The grant was posted May 5, 2011, with an application closing date of June 20, 2011, and an archive date of July 20, 2011.
Eligibility is broad but specialized: applicants may be tribal or non-tribal for-profit organizations, nonprofit organizations (including those with or without 501(c)(3) status), institutions of higher education (both private and public/state-controlled), and consortiums. The key eligibility requirement is demonstrated experience working effectively with tribal representatives on correctional issues, specifically in planning, renovation, and construction of correctional or justice facilities and/or in developing and strengthening community-based correctional alternatives that meet local and regional needs. For-profit applicants are allowed, but they must agree to waive any profit or fees for services, reinforcing that the funded work must be provided on a non-profit basis even if delivered by a commercial entity.
Finally, the announcement provides application support information rather than programmatic guidance: applicants needing technical help with submission were directed to the Grants.gov support hotline at 800-518-4726 or by email at support@grants.gov.
