|
| LINK FOR ONLINE SUBMISSIONS | https://cjcc.formstack.com/forms/fy22_23_byrnescip_behavioralhealth |
| OVERVIEW | The Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP), authorized by the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022, provides formula funds to support gun violence reduction programs and initiatives. This project will facilitate a comprehensive, multi-system collaboration among local entities statewide including first responders, community service boards, health departments, local court representatives, treatment providers, local child welfare offices, local prosecuting and public defender offices, non-profits, and community that offer gun violence reduction programs and services. Grant funding will focus on behavioral health deflection, which refers to strategies and programs within the criminal justice system designed to redirect individuals with behavioral health needs away from traditional punitive measures (such as incarceration) and towards rehabilitative and supportive services. These strategies aim to address the underlying issues of behavioral health and reduce potential violence by providing alternatives to prosecution and promoting interventions that support recovery and reintegration into society. |
| ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS | Applicants are limited to community service boards, health departments, treatment providers, local child welfare offices, non-profits, and community representatives addressing gun violence reduction programs and initiatives through behavioral health deflection. Units of local government in the State of Georgia are also eligible to apply on behalf of first responders, public defender offices, courts, school systems, and local prosecuting and public defender offices. All proposals must aim to adopt or expand promising and/or evidence-based programs that prevent or reduce crime and violence, with a particular focus on gun violence, and target the risk factor of behavioral health needs that may be more likely to lead to this kind of violence. |
| HOW TO APPLY | Interested applicants should review the Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program FY2022-2023 Behavioral Health Deflection Request for Applications in its entirety, and submit the completed application, including the requested information and all required attachments. Please click here to apply. This form and provided budget detail are the only acceptable formats for submitting the narratives and budget for the funding year.
