BJA FY 23 John R. Justice (JRJ) Formula Grant Program
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

States receiving funding administer statewide JRJ programs by soliciting applications from eligible beneficiaries at the state level.
Beneficiaries selected must commit to an additional 3 years of qualifying service in exchange for partial loan repayment directly to the beneficiary’s loan service provider.
