JMHCP Grant | PMHC Toolkit | Bureau of Justice Assistance Police-Mental Health Collaboration (PMHC) Toolkit Delivering Behavioral Health Responding to Homelessness Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (JMHCP) Grant The Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (JMHCP) provides grants directly to states, local governments, and federally recognized Indian tribes to improve responses to people with mental illnesses who are involved in the criminal justice system.
JMHCP funding requires collaboration with a mental health agency. Launched in 2021, the Connect and Protect: Law Enforcement Behavioral Health Response Program is a new funding opportunity available under the JMHCP program. Awards will help communities improve collaborative law enforcement responses to people with behavioral health needs.
This program aims to reduce unnecessary law enforcement contact, connect people to needed treatment and supports, and improve public safety. Allowable Uses of JMHCP Funding In recent years, the JMHCP grant opportunity has made law enforcement-driven initiatives a priority. JMHCP grants can be used to design or implement a new PMHC initiative or to expand an existing one.
JMHCP grantees receive funding, training and technical assistance (TTA), as well as access to national resources and experts to guide or enhance their efforts. JMHCP-funded efforts can also promote appropriate diversion from the criminal justice system and increase access to community-based health care.
Examples of how grant funds have been used include the following: Developing and facilitating mental health and crisis de-escalation training for law enforcement Developing or expanding PMHC programs (e.g., hiring a coordinator or extending hours of operation for crisis response teams) Developing or enhancing computerized systems to support information sharing and data collection and program evaluation Developing an engagement center/”receiving center” and other diversion-related resources.

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
