Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant - Ohio

Grant Details:
Application Due Date: TBA

Description: 

Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG)

Proposed to streamline justice funding and grant administration, the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states, tribes, and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime based on their own local needs and conditions. JAG blends the previous Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant programs to provide agencies with the flexibility to prioritize and place justice funds where they are needed most.

Eligibility

  • The state of Ohio requires a 25% match

  • This project runs from January through December

  • All JAG applicants must have an organization, or subgrantee, that will serve as the fiduciary agent and assume overall responsibility for the grant. Eligible JAG subgrantees include:

    • A unit of local government or council of governments. A unit of local government has legislative autonomy, jurisdiction, and authority to act in certain circumstances. Units of government include a city, county, township, or village. If two or more jointly apply, they must designate one body to take the lead role and identify that agency's fiscal officer; or

    • State agencies, state-supported universities; or

    • Statewide and local nonprofit or faith-based associations. Projects implemented by courts, law enforcement agencies, and mental health boards may not act as their own subgrantees.

    • Per Ohio Revised Code Section 5502.62 (C)(6), all law enforcement agencies must be compliant with reporting crime statistics, using either the Ohio Incident-Based Reporting System or Uniform Crime Reporting, in order to receive funding through OCJS.
