About this grant

This NOFO supports the Tribal Justice Infrastructure: Physical Plant and Corrections Operations Support Program. Selected awardees will help jurisdictions implementing the Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) Tribal Justice System Infrastructure Program (TJSIP) and provide technical services and training to strengthen tribal justice system capacity by addressing operations and physical infrastructure needs, including renovating, expanding, or replacing existing tribal justice-related facilities or building new permanent tribal justice-related facilities to keep communities safe and hold people accountable for crimes on tribal lands.
