About this funding opportunity

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the BJA FY2025/2026 Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) Formula Grant Program.

This program is a central element of the DOJ’s efforts to empower prosecutors and law enforcement to protect their communities from ongoing threats and to implement the core policy objectives of “Operation Take Back America.”
