BJA FY25 State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP)

The Bureau of Justice Assistance is seeking applications for payments under the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) to eligible states and units of local government that incurred qualifying incarceration costs related to undocumented criminal aliens. The program provides formula-based support for costs associated with the July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 reporting period. The opportunity is open to eligible local governments, does not require cost sharing, and is intended to reimburse qualifying incarceration-related expenses under the federal program. Applications are due June 23, 2026, and questions may be directed to SCAAP@usdoj.gov.
