OJJDP FY 19 Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Program

Eligible applicants are limited to states, territories, State courts, local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior) acting on behalf of a single jurisdiction drug court. Faith- and community-based, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations are ineligible as applicants, but OJJDP encourages them to partner with eligible applicants as a community provider of services, if applicable and appropriate. An eligible applicant may designate a subunit of government (for example, county probation department, district attorney’s office, or pretrial services agency) as the authorized representative. As another example, the county executive may designate the county probation or district attorney’s office as its representative when applying for this grant. In such cases, the applicant must submit an authorization letter from the eligible agency or organization. Eligible applicants who propose to provide direct services must not include the provision of services to any person who is older than age 18. All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee. This solicitation is composed of two grant categories. Information regarding the specific eligibility requirements for each Category identified below can be found below. Applicants must clearly designate the category for which they are applying. Category 1: Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Planning OJJDP-2019-15033 Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Planning grants are available to jurisdictions that want to establish a juvenile drug treatment court. These grants are for jurisdictions where no juvenile drug court currently exists or a juvenile drug court has been operational for less than a year. Category 2: Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Enhancement OJJDP-2019-15034 Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Enhancement grants are available to jurisdictions with a fully operational (for at least 1 year) juvenile drug treatment court to enhance the operation of the court. Jurisdictions applying for funding under this category must have courts that have been fully operational for at least 1 year.
