Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2021 44004
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) FY 21 Kevin and Avonte Program: Reducing Injury and Death of Missing Individuals with Dementia and Developmental Disabilities is a discretionary federal grant designed to help communities prevent serious injury or death when people with dementia (including Alzheimer’s disease) or developmental disabilities (including autism) wander away from safe settings. The program focuses on practical, local solutions that strengthen prevention, speed up searches, and improve rescue outcomes when a person goes missing due to cognitive or developmental conditions that increase wandering risk.
A central purpose of the opportunity is to fund the use of locative technologies that can help public safety quickly find missing individuals. In addition to technology, the program supports the development or operation of proactive, locally based initiatives that reduce wandering incidents and improve safety planning. These efforts can include partnerships between law enforcement/public safety agencies and nonprofit organizations to build community-facing prevention programs, improve coordination and response procedures, and create systems that help locate at-risk individuals more efficiently.
The solicitation includes two eligibility categories. Under Category 1, eligible applicants include health care agencies; state or local law enforcement agencies; tribal law enforcement or other public safety agencies; and nonprofit organizations (including tribal nonprofits). There is a stated preference for nonprofit organizations that work with these public agencies in planning, designing, establishing, or operating proactive local programs aimed at locating missing individuals and preventing wandering among people with dementia or developmental disabilities. Under Category 2, eligible applicants include health care agencies; state or local law enforcement, tribal law enforcement, or other public safety agencies; and federally recognized Indian tribal governments that carry out public safety activities. The solicitation notes that additional details are provided in the Eligibility Information section.
