    Summary

    The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) was designed to streamline justice funding and grant administration. JAG funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel, equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice for any one or more of the following purpose areas:

    • Law enforcement.
    • Prosecution and court programs.
    • Prevention and education programs.
    • Corrections and community corrections.
    • Drug treatment and enforcement.
    • Crime victim and witness initiatives.
    • Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement programs

    ICJIA administers the federal Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program in Illinois. The JAG program provides states and units of local government with critical funding to support programs in a range of areas including: law enforcement, prosecution and courts, prevention and education, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment and enforcement, crime victim and witness assistance, and planning, evaluation, and technology improvement. 

    In 2022, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority is requesting proposals for Addressing Transportation Barriers in Illinois Communities. This funding opportunity will offer grants to local units of government in rural counties to support programs that address transportation barriers in Illinois communities, for justice-involved clients to meet their pre-trial, probation, and parole requirements or attend other needed programming.

    Funding will be used to support established programs whose clients are unable to connect to services due to lack of reliable transportation.

    This funding opportunity will favor programs that assist in transportation to court proceedings, court-ordered services, probation appointments, employment, community service, and treatment.
