Grant Description

The purpose of the Adult Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program (42 U.S.C. 3797u et seq.) is to provide financial and technical assistance to states, state courts, local courts, units of local government, and Indian tribal governments to develop and implement drug courts that effectively integrate evidenced-based substance abuse treatment, mandatory drug testing, sanctions and incentives, and transitional services in a judicially supervised court setting with jurisdiction over substance-abusing offenders. BJA is accepting applications for FY 2015 grants to establish new drug courts or enhance existing drug court services, coordination, and offender management and recovery support services. Funding for certain Veterans Treatment Courts are available through a separate appropriation in FY 2015.
