The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced its fiscal year 2014 Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS). This solicitation allows federally recognized tribal governments and tribal consortia to submit a single application for all funding opportunities supporting public safety, victim services, and crime prevention in tribal communities. The Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), the Office for Victims of Crime, and the Office on Violence Against Women each administer tribal programs. Funding in several purpose areas is available for eligible applicants, including accountability programs for delinquent tribal youth (OJJDP’s Tribal Juvenile Accountability Discretionary Grant Program) and initiatives to prevent and reduce delinquency and strengthen tribal juvenile justice systems (OJJDP’s Tribal Youth Program). Applications are due by 7 p.m. ET on March 24, 2014.
