Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2023 171757
The BJA FY 23 Invited to Apply - Emergency Federal Law Enforcement Assistance (EFLEA) Program 2 is a targeted Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) grant opportunity under the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (OJP) intended to help cover law enforcement costs tied to a rare, high-impact emergency. The program is designed for situations that are not routine and that either are, or could become, serious or epidemic in scale, where state and local resources are not sufficient to protect people and property or to enforce criminal law effectively. In practical terms, this funding is meant to help jurisdictions respond to an extraordinary public safety event that overwhelms normal capacity, by reimbursing or offsetting expenses associated with mounting an adequate law enforcement response.
The opportunity reflects OJP priorities that emphasize civil rights and racial equity, improved access to justice, support for crime victims and others affected by the justice system, stronger community safety, protection from evolving threats, and efforts that build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. While EFLEA is fundamentally an emergency assistance mechanism, the framing of the solicitation highlights that funded responses are expected to align with these broader justice and community trust goals, rather than focusing solely on enforcement activity without regard to equitable, lawful, and community-centered outcomes.
This specific listing is an "Invited to Apply" opportunity, meaning it is not a broadly open, competitive solicitation for the general public. Eligibility is identified as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which commonly indicates that only certain jurisdictions or entities that have been contacted or pre-identified by BJA are expected to apply. The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is Law, Justice, and Legal Services, and the CFDA (assistance listing) number is 16.824, which corresponds to the EFLEA program.
Key administrative details indicate the opportunity was created on May 8, 2023, with an original closing date of May 17, 2023, reflecting a short application window consistent with emergency-response style funding. The award ceiling for this opportunity is $223,211, and BJA anticipated making one award, suggesting this was designed to address a specific incident or jurisdictional need rather than to fund multiple sites. Statutory authority for the program is provided under 34 U.S.C. 50101-50112, with appropriations authority referenced from Public Law 115-141 and Public Law 116-6, which together support BJA's ability to provide this emergency assistance when a jurisdiction faces an uncommon law enforcement challenge of significant magnitude.
In summary, this EFLEA opportunity is a narrowly scoped, invitation-based BJA grant intended to help a recipient manage extraordinary law enforcement costs arising from an uncommon and potentially severe public safety situation, when local and state resources are inadequate, and with an expectation that the response supported by federal funds is consistent with OJP priorities around equity, civil rights, access to justice, victim support, community safety, and public trust.Apply for O BJA 2023 171757
