Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Community Based Violence Prevention Demonstration Program was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Its central purpose was to support community-based, place-focused efforts designed to reduce violence involving youth in targeted neighborhoods or communities. In practical terms, the program was framed as a demonstration initiative, meaning OJJDP intended to fund a small number of sites to implement and show how coordinated, locally grounded strategies could prevent and reduce youth violence, while also generating lessons that could inform broader practice.
This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2720 and used a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as providing guidance, facilitating coordination, or participating in program design or evaluation-related activities, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program fell under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category and was associated with CFDA number 16.123, identified as the Community Based Violence Prevention Program.
OJJDP anticipated making up to four awards under this solicitation. The estimated total funding amount was $2,200,000, and the listed award ceiling was also $2,200,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award, which can be important for communities or organizations with limited access to flexible local dollars.
Eligibility was broad and designed to accommodate the mix of local governmental and community partners typically involved in violence prevention work. Eligible applicants included city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, and state governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The solicitation also allowed applications from independent school districts, public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities), and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. This mix reflects an emphasis on implementation in real-world community settings where youth violence concentrates, and on the involvement of entities that can influence local systems, services, and neighborhood conditions.
Key dates show this was a time-limited FY 2010 competition. The opportunity was posted on April 27, 2010, and had an application closing date of June 18, 2010 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The archive date was July 18, 2010, indicating when the listing was formally moved into an archived status after the competition window ended.
