Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC), Arizona's state administering agency, is applying for funding to advance Arizona's goal of reducing overdose deaths by providing services to people involved in Arizona's local justice system.
The ACJC will make a total of nine competitive sub-awards to local sites to implement law enforcement diversion programs or virtual peer recovery services. The ACJC will work collaboratively with the nine sites to serve the unique needs of each community, while leveraging the state's resources, training experience, and expertise to implement impactful, evidence-based strategies.
The ACJC will also build the capacity of the local justice system, including jails and local law enforcement agencies, to implement these programs through robust training and technical assistance, including peer-to-peer learning and cross-site coordination.
Priority considerations addressed in this application include making sub-awards to communities with a high rate of primary treatment admissions for heroin, opioids, and stimulants, high rates of overdose deaths, a lack of accessibility to treatment providers, facilities, and emergency medical services, and providing services to a high poverty area.
Applicants will also be asked to demonstrate how their sub-award will further OJP's priority of building trust between law enforcement and the community.
