The U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services is issuing a funding opportunity for the FY26 Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act Program to support the emotional and mental well-being of law enforcement officers and their families. This initiative targets state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies through three distinct funding categories designed to build, enhance, and sustain mental health and wellness services. The first category provides start-up funding for agencies without established programs, with a focus on expanding access for small, rural, and understaffed departments to implement peer support, suicide prevention, stress reduction, clinical services, and family resources. The second category supports agencies with existing programs seeking to expand or improve their current offerings, ensuring continuous innovation and scalability of wellness efforts. The third category establishes a Community of Practice Initiative to foster collaboration, peer learning, and technical assistance among current and future grantees, creating a shared network for exchanging promising practices and strengthening statewide and national capacity. Funding is available to eligible law enforcement agencies through a competitive solicitation process with the official title FY26 Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act Program and solicitation number O-COPS-2026-172553. Applications must be submitted by July 30, 2026, and the program is administered under NAICS code 624190. The COPS Office emphasizes community policing as common sense policing and uses the terms interchangeably in all program materials. Interested applicants can access detailed guidance and application instructions via the official grants.gov portal, and technical inquiries may be directed to the COPS Office’s designated point of contact through email or phone. All projects must prioritize evidence-based or promising practices that lead to measurable improvements in officer well-being and organizational culture.

Full Description

The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is the component of the U.S. Department of Justice responsible for advancing the practice of community policing and the Administration’s priority of Making America Safe Again by supporting the nation’s state, local, territorial and Tribal law enforcement agencies through information and grant resources. This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the FY26 Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMHWA) Program. The mental health and wellness of law enforcement officers and their families is a priority of the Administration. Through the LEMHWA program, the Department of Justice supports this priority by providing funding directly to state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) law enforcement agencies to implement new or enhance existing programs that offer training and services to support officers emotional and mental health including, counseling programs, peer mentoring, suicide prevention, stress reduction, and police officer family services. As community policing is common sense policing, throughout the FY26 LEMHWA program NOFO materials, the terms “community policing” and “common sense policing” are used interchangeably, unless otherwise specified. The COPS Office seeks to increase the delivery of and access to mental health and wellness services through this NOFO in the following three funding categories:
Category 1: FY26 Start-up LEMHWA Implementation Projects • The purpose of this program is to provide funding to law enforcement agencies that do not have established law-enforcement specific mental health and wellness programming. These funds will serve as start-up funding to support the development of new mental health and wellness services and programming for employees of law enforcement agencies and their families. This program also serves to increase grant funding accessibility for small and understaffed departments, especially those in rural communities, to implement mental health and wellness programs. • Implementation of peer support, training, family resources, suicide prevention, stress reduction, clinical support, and other promising practices for wellness programs are highly encouraged. • Agencies that currently offer rudimentary or limited wellness services and are seeking to develop a comprehensive wellness program for their department are encouraged to apply.
Category 2: FY26 Enhanced LEMHWA Implementation Projects • The purpose of this program is to provide funding to law enforcement agencies who have current wellness programs in place and are seeking to enhance or expand upon those existing wellness programs.
Category 3: FY26 LEMHWA Community of Practice Initiative The purpose of this initiative is to provide support to current and future LEMHWA grantees, that include peer support and technical assistance through the development and facilitation of an innovative forum where grantees can learn from their peers and share promising practices.

DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE (DR) SERVICESThe County of Riverside Department of Public Social Services is seeking qualified providers to deliver Differential Response (DR) Services aimed at supporting families identified through child abuse or neglect reports that do not require formal child welfare intervention. This initiative offers a flexible, individualized approach to families assessed with low to moderate risk, focusing on preventative, community-based services that strengthen family functioning and ensure child safety without escalating to dependency proceedings or court oversight. The program is designed to reduce future referrals to the child welfare system by addressing underlying issues early through evidence-based practices and active family engagement, with the goal of keeping children safely at home and minimizing system involvement. Referrals are anticipated to range between 300 and 1,000 annually, though no guaranteed volume is provided. Providers must deliver targeted services that improve key outcomes including family depression, stress levels, and overall functioning, while also reducing recurrence and substantiation of allegations, new case openings, and child detentions. Success will be measured through both leading indicators—such as family well-being metrics—and lagging indicators, including comparisons between families who accept services and those who decline. The target population consists of Riverside County families referred to the Child Abuse Hotline where no imminent safety threat is present, and where voluntary, non-adversarial interventions can effectively mitigate risk. Proposals must be submitted by August 27, 2026, with inquiries directed to Monica Mathis of the Riverside County Purchasing Department.

Continuation of services for Subject Matter Expert I (Shenita-Ann Grymes)The contract supports the continuation of services for a Subject Matter Expert I to assist the District of Columbia’s Early Hearing Detection and Intervention program by ensuring newborns receive timely hearing screenings, diagnoses, and enrollment in early intervention services. The contractor will conduct follow-ups with families and healthcare providers to verify that infants are meeting critical milestones—screening by one month, diagnosis by three months, and intervention enrollment by six months—and will provide extended support to families of newborns identified as deaf or hard of hearing or with other newborn screening-related concerns. This includes guiding families through the next steps of care, offering resources, and maintaining consistent communication to reduce gaps in service delivery. The contractor will also manage and update the DC EHDI program’s tracking system, which monitors the entire pathway of newborn hearing screenings, including birth hospital records, outpatient tests, diagnostic evaluations, and follow-up outcomes. This role requires diligent data entry, oversight of system accuracy, and collaboration with the DC EHDI team to ensure all infants born in the District are properly tracked and no child falls through the cracks. The work is centered on improving health outcomes and equity in early childhood hearing care, with a focus on family engagement, system efficiency, and compliance with statewide EHDI benchmarks.

Phase II will extend the intervention to an additional ten communities selected by the Street and Working Children Taskforce, with two communities each from Clarendon, St. James, St. Catherine, St. Ann, and Kingston and St. Andrew. These locations were strategically chosen to address geographic disparities and target areas with high concentrations of street-connected children. A consultancy solicitation has been issued under reference number 2238/57, with a response deadline of August 7, 2026, inviting qualified professionals to support the delivery of community-based services.
