CCJBH is excited to announce the opening of one (1) new State Lived Experience Project (LEP) RFPs. These projects seek to fulfill CCJBH’s mission by supporting innovative projects that elevate the voices of individuals with lived experience (LE) in the behavioral health (BH) and criminal justice systems. Focusing on the BH and justice-involved (BH/JI) population, these activities will help increase community awareness of the needs of the BH/JI population through education, training, and technical assistance; foster and facilitate multi-disciplinary collaborations across the different systems that serve the BH/JI population; promote evidence-based practices for prevention, deflection, diversion, and reentry services and programs that serve the BH/JI population; and provide technical assistance to CCJBH and the State-level LEP Contractors as needed.
Who Can Apply:
This RFP is designed for organizations that are ready to implement projects that will make a significant impact in the areas of advocacy, education, and collaborative partnerships. Successful applicants will receive funding and technical assistance, as needed, to support their projects over the specified contract period. This is a remarkable opportunity to contribute to meaningful change, and we encourage all eligible organizations that are passionate about making a difference in the lives of the BH/JI population to apply.
