Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 16 Family Drug Court Statewide System Reform grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2016 9193) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding category (CFDA 16.585) and is intended to help jurisdictions strengthen how family drug courts operate and how they are supported across a state or court system. At its core, the opportunity is aimed at improving the response of the family dependency court system when child abuse or neglect cases are closely tied to parental or caregiver substance use, including situations where substance use co-occurs with mental health disorders.
This program focuses on building capacity at multiple levels of government and the court system. Funding is meant to help states, state courts, local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized tribal governments either start new family drug courts or enhance existing ones. The emphasis is not just on creating a courtroom program, but on improving the broader system that surrounds it so that families involved in dependency proceedings can access structured, coordinated services. The model centers on individuals with substance use disorders, or substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health needs, whose involvement with the family court is driven by allegations or findings related to child abuse and neglect. In practical terms, the grant supports efforts that better connect the court process with treatment and recovery services, improve case management and coordination among partners, and strengthen the ability of court-led teams to respond effectively and consistently to these cases.
The funding parameters show a competitive program with a limited number of awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $650,000, and OJJDP expected to make about 5 awards under this solicitation. The opportunity was posted and created on March 17, 2016, and the application deadline (original and current) was May 17, 2016. As a discretionary grant, awards are made through a competitive selection process rather than by formula allocation.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to drive statewide or system-level reform in how family drug courts are implemented and improved, with the goal of better outcomes for children and families affected by substance use and related behavioral health conditions. By supporting the development or enhancement of family drug courts within dependency systems, OJJDP is funding a court-involved approach that aims to address the underlying substance use issues contributing to unsafe home environments, while promoting more coordinated services and more consistent court practices across participating jurisdictions.
