What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community.

With this solicitation, BJA seeks to make funding available to state agencies designated by the governor to improve the retention of local, state, and federal public defenders and local and state prosecutors ("beneficiaries"). States receiving funding administer statewide JRJ programs by soliciting applications from eligible beneficiaries at the state level. Beneficiaries selected must commit to an additional 3 years of qualifying service in exchange for partial loan repayment directly to the beneficiary's loan service provider.
