THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Family Support, Substance Abuse, Youth Welfare, Justice
Deadline: May 6, 2024
“With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to build the capacity of state courts, local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized Tribal governments to establish new family treatment courts, enhance existing family treatment courts, or expand family treatment courts at the larger state and county levels. This program furthers the Department’s mission to expand access to evidence-based prevention and treatment by supporting states and communities as they develop and implement effective and coordinated substance use intervention programs.
Category 1: Establishing New Family Treatment Courts: Available to jurisdictions that are ready to implement a new family treatment court. These grants are for jurisdictions where either no family treatment court currently exists or a family treatment court has been operational for less than 1 year. Jurisdictions may already have other types of drug or treatment courts (such as adult drug or mental health courts).
Category 2: Enhancing Family Treatment Courts: Available to jurisdictions with a fully operational family treatment court. Courts applying for funding under Category 2 must be fully operational for at least 1 year, as funding is intended to enhance services of existing family treatment courts. OJJDP encourages applicants to partner with community providers of services, if applicable and appropriate.
Category 3: Statewide or Countywide Family Treatment Courts Expansion: The following entities are eligible to apply:
(1) State Administrative Office of the Court, working in conjunction with and coordinating closely with the state’s Court Improvement Program. Applicants are required to partner with the state child welfare agency and state substance use treatment agency, and must include with the application draft or fully executed letters of intent or memorandum of understanding or agreement (MOU/MOA) formalizing these partnerships.
(2) Eligible county applicants are limited to the county superior court (or similar authority) or judicial districts with populations at or above 1 million. Applicants are required to partner with the county child welfare agency and county substance use treatment agency, and must include with the application draft or fully executed letters of intent or memorandum of understanding or agreement (MOU/MOA) formalizing these partnerships.
Applicants must describe how their proposed project/program will integrate and sustain meaningful youth and family partnerships into all sections of the proposal narrative – including the description of the issue, project design and implementation, capabilities and competencies, plan for collecting data — and the budget.”
