BJA FY 2025/2026 Project Safe Neighborhoods Formula Grant Program

The Bureau of Justice Assistance is offering funding under the FY2025/2026 Project Safe Neighborhoods Formula Grant Program to support coordinated violent crime reduction efforts across all 94 federal judicial districts in the United States and its territories. This initiative, aligned with Operation Take Back America, empowers U.S. Attorney’s Offices to lead multi-agency collaborations involving federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement, prosecutors, and community partners. The program prioritizes targeted enforcement against criminal organizations, dangerous offenders, and threats such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, transnational criminal organizations, and violent criminal aliens, aiming to enhance public safety through strategic, data-driven interventions. Funding for this program combines appropriations for both fiscal years 2025 and 2026, distributed as formula grants to ensure consistent support for local priorities within the federal framework. The solicitation, identified as O-BJA-2026-172654, was posted on July 13, 2026, with a response deadline of August 20, 2026. Applicants must align their proposals with the core objectives of PSN, emphasizing collaboration, accountability, and community engagement. All applications must be submitted through Grants.gov, and inquiries should be directed to the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s designated point of contact at the provided email and phone number. There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity, and it is open to eligible entities operating within the scope of the federal judicial districts.
