Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Family Drug Court Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2548) is a discretionary grant program run by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention under CFDA 16.585, the Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program. Its central goal is to help jurisdictions strengthen their ability to respond to substance use disorders that are closely tied to child welfare and family dependency court involvement. In practical terms, the program supports either the launch of new family drug courts or the improvement and expansion of existing family drug courts that serve substance abusing adults whose involvement in dependency court stems from child abuse and neglect concerns. A key expectation is that funded projects address the family as a whole: applicants are required to provide services not only to the parents participating in the drug court process, but also to their children, reflecting the program focus on child safety, family stability, and recovery oriented outcomes.
The grant is designed as start up or enhancement funding rather than permanent operational support. OJJDP describes this as seed money, meaning the award is intended to help sites establish or strengthen the model, build infrastructure, and implement effective practices, but not to underwrite the court indefinitely. Because of that, OJJDP expects each successful applicant to create and carry out a sustainability plan during the grant period. That plan should show how the jurisdiction will maintain family drug court operations and services after federal funding ends, whether through state and local budget commitments, braided funding with child welfare and behavioral health systems, reimbursement mechanisms, or other long term resource strategies.
Eligibility is limited to governmental and court entities: states, state and local courts, units of local government (such as counties, cities, or townships), and federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior and published in the Federal Register). These eligible entities may apply on their own or act through formal agreements with other public and private partners. While nonprofit, faith and community based, and for profit organizations cannot apply as the direct applicant, OJJDP explicitly encourages them to participate as partners or service providers when appropriate. Joint applications from multiple eligible entities are permitted, but the application must clearly identify one primary applicant responsible for official correspondence, award management, and overall grant administration, with any additional eligible entities listed as co applicants. Applicants are also expected to demonstrate that they have the financial systems and management capacity necessary to carry out a project at the scale proposed in the announcement.
Financially, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $500,000, with no stated minimum award (award floor of $0). The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non federal resources according to the rules in the solicitation. The program is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 3797u et seq., which provides the legal basis for OJJDP to make these awards in support of drug court related initiatives.
From an application logistics standpoint, proposals were required to be submitted electronically through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (OJP GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The posted date for the opportunity was March 9, 2010, and applications were due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 27, 2010. The record was later archived on November 7, 2011. For technical issues accessing the full announcement or using the electronic system, the notice directs applicants to the GMS Helpdesk at 1 888 549 9901.
