Los Angeles County Justice, Care and Opportunities Department (JCOD) and United Way of Greater Los Angeles Grant Writing Tips

DOJ Began Merging Its Three Grant Offices This Month. Congress Told It Twice Not To, and a Statute Says OVW Cannot Be Subsumed. Applicants Should Prepare for the Paperwork Anyway.

The Justice Department's timeline put September 2026 as the month it starts executing the Bureau of Justice Grants consolidation, folding OJP, COPS, and OVW into one component under a Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General. Phase 1 is a single NOFO template and a uniform review framework. The FY2027 request cuts BJG discretionary funding 30.3 percent to $3.057 billion while eliminating $939.4 million in earmarks. Here is what changes for applicants, what the legal fight does not change, and how to plan a FY2027 pipeline through it.

On August 7, 2026, Judge Mary S. McElroy vacated HUD's FY2026 Continuum of Care NOFO in full, finding the agency violated the Administrative Procedure Act by skipping notice-and-comment before setting aside roughly $1.3 billion — nearly a third of CoC funding — for new projects. HUD has appealed and been denied an emergency stay. Here is what the ruling actually does to renewals, what Congress already guaranteed, and what CoC leads and subrecipients should be doing during the pause.
