## What the grant funds

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. The Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI) Program is a strategic approach to crime reduction that leverages community knowledge and expertise and focuses efforts on neighborhoods where crime is concentrated, which may also have crime "hotspots," micro-locations where crime is focused. After years of disinvestment, these neighborhoods have faced increasing crime and a range of challenges that contribute to increased risk for crime problems, so BCJI employs a multifaceted approach that addresses root causes of crime in order to generate sustainable long-term impacts. With this solicitation, BJA seeks to fund one provider to support community leaders from BCJI sites and their law enforcement partners by delivering a wide range of training and technical assistance (TTA) services designed to build trust and promote coordination of community-based crime prevention and reduction efforts with enforcement strategies. The selected TTA provider will support all current BCJI grantees to plan and implement data-driven, cross-sector strategies to reduce crime and violence, and will also work with current and former leaders and researchers in BCJI sites to document lessons learned and research supported over the last decade of this initiative. The results of the BCJI sites’ efforts will be shared widely to assist other communities with improving and enhancing their crime reduction efforts. This program focuses on high crime communities experiencing increases in crime in locations that are distressed and hotspots of crime.
