Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2008 Nonparticipating State Program, Wyoming was a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), designed specifically to direct Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDP Act) resources into Wyoming even though the state was not participating in the JJDP Act Part B Formula Grants Program. Because Wyoming did not participate, it could not receive its normal FY 2008 formula allocation under Sections 221 to 223 of the JJDP Act (codified at 42 U.S.C. 5631 to 5633). Instead of returning or leaving those dollars unused, OJJDP retained the state’s FY 2008 allocation and made it available through a competitive process under the authority of Section 223(d) of the JJDP Act. The total amount associated with the opportunity was $570,000, which served as the award ceiling, and there was no required cost share or match.
The core purpose of the program was practical and compliance-focused: help Wyoming build and strengthen a continuum of options for juveniles in custody, including both secure and nonsecure alternatives, and support revisions to policies that would move the state toward compliance with the JJDP Act’s core requirements. The solicitation tied this work explicitly to the core requirements referenced in Sections 233(a)(11), (12), (13), and (22) of the JJDP Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. 5633(a)(11), (12), (13), and (22). In other words, the funding was meant to push systems change and program development that reduce inappropriate detention practices, expand appropriate placement and supervision options, and align state and local practices with federal juvenile justice standards.
The funding instrument for the award was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates OJJDP expected to have a more active role in oversight and partnership than it would under a standard grant. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary and aligned with community development and justice-related activities, and it was listed under CFDA 16.541 (Part E: Developing, Testing, and Demonstrating Promising New Programs). While the overall emphasis was statewide improvement, the competition itself targeted local capacity by soliciting applications from agencies operating within Wyoming rather than routing funds through a participating state agency structure.
Eligibility was broad in terms of organizational types but narrow geographically. Applicants had to be based in Wyoming, and eligible entities included local governments (such as city/township and county governments), state governments, tribal governments (including federally recognized tribes) and other tribal organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, independent school districts, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, and even for-profit organizations (including small businesses). This wide eligibility pool reflects the idea that juvenile justice reform and custody alternatives often require collaboration across courts, detention and corrections, schools, community providers, tribal systems, and treatment and service organizations.
Key logistics reflect a short application window typical of time-sensitive discretionary solicitations. The opportunity was posted and created on April 29, 2008, with an original and final closing date of May 29, 2008. It was later archived on June 28, 2008. The funding opportunity number was OJJDP 2008 1841, and the title was OJJDP FY 2008 Nonparticipating State Program, Wyoming. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice listed a technical support contact (Al Roddy) with a phone number (202-616-4506), indicating that the application materials and detailed requirements were hosted in the full announcement link referenced in the posting.
