Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 Training and Technical Assistance for Tribal Juvenile Detention and Reentry Green Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) designed to fund one organization to deliver targeted training and hands-on technical assistance to federally recognized tribes that operate, or are served by, a tribal or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) juvenile detention center located on or near tribal lands. The purpose is not to directly run detention or reentry services, but to strengthen tribal capacity by supporting the tribes that receive awards under OJJDPs related Tribal Juvenile Detention and Reentry Green Demonstration Program. In practice, the selected provider would help these tribal grantees plan, implement, and sustain effective detention-to-reentry programming for tribal youth who are residing in custody or returning to their communities after release.
A central feature of this initiative is the integration of "green" technologies and environmentally sustainable activities into reentry planning. OJJDPs intent is to help tribes build partnerships with universities and other qualified organizations so that green practices are not an add-on, but an embedded part of reentry services. That can include environmentally focused projects, energy and resource efficiency practices, and other sustainability-oriented efforts that are appropriate to local community needs and tribal priorities. The program emphasizes that these partnerships should be built for long-term benefit, with the expectation that tribes can continue the relationships beyond the grant period and realize practical gains such as reduced operating costs, new skills development opportunities for youth, potential economic advantages, and positive environmental impacts in tribal communities.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have an active role in shaping or overseeing key aspects of the work, such as deliverables, coordination, and performance expectations. The maximum award amount listed is $600,000, with no stated minimum award floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding is connected to the Tribal Youth Program CFDA number 16.731, and the legislative authority cited is the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-8).
Eligibility is broad but specialized: applicants may include public or private agencies, organizations, institutions, and tribal organizations, as long as they can demonstrate experience providing training and technical assistance to federally recognized tribes and tribal juvenile detention facilities. In addition, applicants are expected to have the ability to assist tribes in forming and managing partnerships that support green technologies and environmentally sustainable activities within reentry programming. In other words, competitive applicants would likely bring both juvenile justice or reentry expertise and credible experience with sustainability-focused program development and cross-sector collaboration.
Administratively, applications were required to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS). The opportunity was originally posted May 8, 2009, with a closing date of June 15, 2009, and the submission deadline time extended to 11:59 p.m. on the same date. The record was later archived on November 7, 2011. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement at the time, OJJDP listed points of contact including the Tribal Youth Coordinator, Laura Ansera, and Research Coordinator, Janet Chiancone, along with phone numbers, and provided a GMS technical support hotline for submission-related issues.
