Description: 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. The Justice for All Act (JFAA), originally enacted in 2004, was reauthorized and updated in 2016 through passage of the Justice for All Reauthorization Act (JFARA). BJA launched the JFARA training and technical assistance (TTA) programs in 2016 in response to the new areas of authority described in the act. This included support for the development of statewide strategic planning to inform resource allocation under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, and TTA for state and local governments to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The purpose of this solicitation is to select up to three providers to deliver TTA services to state and local governments requesting services under the two areas described above. In Category 1, the selected TTA providers will assist BJA JAG grantees and other state and local jurisdictions in completing the required strategic planning consistent with the goals of the initiative. In Categories 2 and 3, the selected TTA partners will assist the field to build their capacity to ensure the provisions of the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution, with a focus on courts&#8217; responsibilities and right to counsel.
