Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 13 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) grant (Funding Opportunity Number: BJA 2013 3530) is a mandatory, formula-based federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Its purpose is to help states and, through state administration, support local and tribal partners in building, expanding, or improving residential substance use disorder treatment services for people housed in correctional and detention settings. In addition to treatment delivered inside facilities, the program also supports the creation and maintenance of community-based aftercare services that continue once an individual leaves custody, reflecting the program's emphasis on treatment continuity and reentry success.
RSAT is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 3796ff et seq. and is tied to CFDA number 16.593 (Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners). The funding activity category is listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the funding instrument is a grant. The opportunity was posted and created on March 5, 2013, with an application closing date of May 2, 2013. The opportunity was later archived on June 1, 2013, which signals that this specific FY 2013 solicitation is no longer accepting applications, even though the RSAT program itself continues in other fiscal years under separate announcements.
Eligibility for this specific announcement was limited to state governments, meaning applications were expected to come from a state administering agency designated to manage RSAT funds. While local governments and tribal entities are referenced in the program description, they typically participate through state-managed subawards or state-coordinated implementation rather than applying directly to BJA under this particular eligibility structure. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated in the source information, so states were not required to provide a match as a condition of receiving these funds under this solicitation.
Award amounts varied by state allocation, with a listed award ceiling of $865,205 and an award floor of $0. The ceiling indicates the maximum potential award amount for a recipient under the FY 2013 allocation structure, while the $0 floor is a standard listing that effectively means there is no guaranteed minimum award size disclosed in the summary. As a mandatory opportunity, the funding distribution is generally driven by statutory or formula considerations rather than purely competitive scoring, though applicants still must submit required documentation, meet program requirements, and demonstrate an approvable plan for the use of funds.
From an implementation standpoint, RSAT funding is aimed at developing and implementing evidence-informed residential treatment services within correctional environments, which can include structured therapeutic programming, clinical services, relapse prevention, and recovery supports tailored to justice-involved populations. A core feature is the allowance for aftercare: community-based supports that begin before release and continue post-release to reduce relapse risk and improve reintegration outcomes. Aftercare can include case management, referrals to community treatment, peer recovery supports, coordination with supervision agencies, and other services that help sustain treatment gains outside the facility. The inclusion of aftercare funding recognizes that treatment effects are often undermined if there is no planned handoff to community services at release.
For applicants needing help during the submission process, the opportunity directed technical questions about electronic submission to the DOJ Grants Management System (GMS) Support Hotline at 888-549-9901 (option 3) or by email at GMS.HelpDesk@usdoj.gov. The full announcement was referenced via an additional information link, which would have contained the detailed program rules, allowable and unallowable costs, application components, reporting expectations, and other compliance requirements that typically accompany BJA grant programs.
