Overview
The Behavioral Health Information and Data Sharing Grant Program is a funding opportunity offered through the Office of Adult and Juvenile Assistance (OAJJA) in consultation with the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice Office of Research and Statistics, Governor’s Office of Information Technology, and the Colorado Integrated Criminal Justice Information System.
The intent of the Behavioral Health Information and Data Sharing Grant Program as established by SB22-196 is to exchange behavioral health, housing, and demographic information with the Colorado Integrated Criminal Justice Information System (CICJIS) in order to maintain continuity of care as persons detained in a jail transfer between criminal justice agencies and the community.
These funds are part of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) which are part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). Pursuant to ARPA and related federal regulations, when providing behavioral health services, government recipients may presume that the general public was impacted by the pandemic, and they can therefore use ARPA funds to provide a broad range of behavioral health services to the public.
These SLFRF Funds fall within - Expenditure Category 1: Public Health, 12: Behavioral Health (EC 1.12).
About the Funding Agency: The mission of the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) is to improve the public safety of the community, the quality of services to crime victims, and the effectiveness of services to offenders. This program is being implemented by the Office of Research and Statistics in coordination with the Office of Adult and Juvenile Justice Assistance.
