Broad Eligibility

State governments are the listed direct applicants for this formula opportunity. Healthcare, behavioral-health, local-government and public-safety organizations should pursue implementation or partnership roles through the relevant state administering agency rather than apply directly unless the controlling state process provides a subaward pathway.

Atlas Analysis

This formula program supports state implementation of crisis-intervention strategies authorized under Byrne SCIP. Direct eligibility rests with state governments, while healthcare, behavioral-health, local-government, and public-safety organizations may participate through state implementation or subaward structures where the state permits. Any project role should be tied to the state's approved crisis-intervention plan and the solicitation's allowable activities.

The U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance is accepting FY 2026 Byrne State Crisis Intervention Formula Program applications from state governments. The formula program supports state crisis-intervention and public-safety strategies and is relevant where states use their allocations for behavioral-health crisis response, intervention, treatment coordination or related justice-system initiatives.

Atlas should treat this as a state-led opportunity. N9+ may be a supporting fit only when a state’s allowable implementation plan specifically includes telehealth-enabled assessment, mobile crisis, community paramedicine or other legitimate clinical-access components.
