Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 Family Drug Courts Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2009 2225) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) under CFDA 16.585, the Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program. Its central goal is to expand the ability of states, courts, local governments, and federally recognized tribal governments to create and put in place family drug courts that serve substance-abusing adults who are involved in family dependency court because of child abuse or neglect matters. In practice, this means supporting court-led, treatment-focused interventions that address parental substance use as a driver of unsafe home conditions, while keeping the child welfare and court oversight pieces tightly coordinated.
A key feature of this program is that it is not designed to serve only the adults in the dependency case. Funded projects are expected to provide services to both the parents and their children, reflecting the idea that improving child safety and family stability requires addressing the needs of the entire family system. While the announcement summary does not list specific service models, the framing signals an integrated approach that combines court supervision with treatment and supportive services, aiming to reduce substance use, improve compliance with dependency court requirements, and support healthier outcomes for children affected by abuse, neglect, and parental addiction.
The grant is described as seed money rather than ongoing operational funding. OJJDP makes it clear that awards are intended to help communities launch or establish family drug courts and build early capacity, not to bankroll them indefinitely. Because of that, applicants are expected to develop and implement a sustainability plan during the grant period so the family drug court can keep operating after the federal funds end. This typically implies planning for longer-term funding streams, institutional commitments from justice and child welfare partners, and operational strategies that allow the program to continue as a stable part of the local court and service landscape.
Eligibility is limited to states, state and local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments. These entities may apply directly or act through agreements with other public or private organizations, which allows collaboration with treatment providers, child welfare agencies, nonprofit partners, or other community-based service organizations, as long as the eligible governmental or court entity remains the applicant of record.
From an administrative standpoint, the award ceiling is listed at $500,000, with an award floor of $0, and the opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement. Applications were required to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The original posted date was May 5, 2009, and the closing date remained June 15, 2009, with the submission deadline time extended to 11:59 p.m. on that date (from an earlier 8:00 p.m. cutoff). For technical help with GMS submissions, applicants were directed to the GMS Support Hotline at 1 888 549 9901, option 3, available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
The program’s legal authority is cited as 42 U.S.C. 3797u, et seq., placing it within the broader federal statutory framework supporting drug courts and related justice initiatives. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed program contact was Jennifer Tyson, Program Manager, at 202 305 1598.
