Opportunity Summary:

The Attorney General's Children Exposed to Violence Demonstration Program Phase I was a FY 2010 U.S. Department of Justice funding opportunity designed to help communities build a coordinated, community-wide plan to prevent and reduce the harm caused when children are exposed to violence at home, in school, or in the broader neighborhood. Rather than funding a single service or isolated project, the focus of this phase was strategic planning: bringing together key local systems and partners to design a comprehensive approach that covers prevention, early intervention, treatment, and effective response for children and their families. The underlying intent was to strengthen a community's capacity to address childrens exposure to violence in a structured, cross-agency way, and to reduce the short- and long-term negative impacts that exposure can have on safety, health, development, and well-being.

This program was structured as a demonstration effort and was jointly funded across several DOJ components, reflecting its emphasis on collaboration and system alignment. The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) coordinated the effort through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), with joint funding support from the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). In addition, it was supportively managed by a department-wide committee that included OJJDP, OVC, OVW, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA), and other OJP offices. That mix of partners signals that DOJ viewed childrens exposure to violence as both a public safety issue and a victim services issue, requiring coordination between law enforcement, prosecution, victim advocacy, schools, child-serving agencies, and community-based providers.

The award instrument for this opportunity was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a closer working relationship with the federal funder than a standard grant, often including ongoing technical assistance, structured milestones, or federal involvement in key aspects of implementation. The opportunity anticipated making up to 8 awards, with an award ceiling of $160,000 per recipient, and it did not require cost sharing or a matching contribution. The activity fell under CFDA 16.730, Reduction and Prevention of Childrens Exposure to Violence, and was categorized under "Other" to reflect the planning-centered nature of the work (developing and supporting comprehensive community-based strategic planning), rather than fitting neatly into a single traditional service-delivery category.

Eligible applicants were governmental and quasi-governmental entities positioned to convene multiple systems and lead community planning efforts. Eligibility included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, special district governments, and public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities). This range suggests DOJ expected applicants to have the authority, reach, and partnerships needed to coordinate across sectors that routinely encounter children affected by violence, such as schools, housing, child welfare, courts, and public safety agencies.

Key logistics for the FY 2010 competition were straightforward. The funding opportunity number was OJJDP 2010 2600, it was posted on March 31, 2010, and the application deadline (original and final) was June 1, 2010, with an archive date of July 1, 2010. The listing identified OJJDP as the administering agency for applications.
