The SAMHSA-CMHS Jail Diversion Program Grants are intended for programs that divert individuals with mental illness from the criminal justice system to mental health treatment and appropriate support services. These grants or cooperative agreements are made as part of the SAMHSA/CMHS Targeted Capacity Expansion (TCE) program. This GFA on Jail Diversion, based on the Public Health Service Act, section 520G, is coordinated with the Department of Justice's solicitation "Mental Health Court Grants Program," authorized in P.L. 106-515, Part V, Section 2201. It is the intention of both agencies to collaborate on both the implementation and analysis of these two programs. The overall goal of this collaboration is to improve policy and practice for addressing the needs of persons with a mental illness or co-occurring disorder who become involved with the criminal justice system. To this end, each agency will fund programs that do not overlap by type of diversion model implemented. SAMHSA will fund diversion programs for pre- and post-booking diversion that do not involve continuous judicial supervision for treatment and case disposition. In contrast, the Department of Justice will fund Mental Health Courts that will be limited to models where continuous judicial supervision is a key design component. The SAMHSA-CMHS Jail Diversion Program will offer an estimated $4.0 million to support as many as 10 Capacity Expansion Site Awards and one Technical Assistance and Policy Analysis (TAPA) Center Award. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Applicants with questions on program issues should contact Susan Salasin at 301-443-3653 or ssalasin@samhsa.hhs.gov.
