Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Juvenile Indigent Defense National Clearinghouse grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2740) is a discretionary federal funding initiative from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the awarding agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction, deliverables, or ongoing coordination rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The overall purpose of the opportunity is to strengthen juvenile indigent defense nationwide by supporting a central clearinghouse function that can raise the quality and consistency of legal representation for youth who cannot afford counsel.
At its core, the program is designed to improve juvenile indigent defense systems through a broad set of activities that address both day-to-day practice quality and larger systemic advocacy. The clearinghouse concept implies an entity that gathers, organizes, and distributes practical resources, promising practices, and technical assistance to the juvenile defense community. The opportunity emphasizes improving the overall level of systemic advocacy, meaning efforts that go beyond individual cases to address structural issues in juvenile defense services, such as standards of practice, training expectations, access to resources, and reforms that ensure youth receive fair, developmentally appropriate representation. A key component is also ensuring professional and ongoing technical support to the juvenile defense bar, suggesting sustained assistance such as guidance, consultation, toolkits, training materials, and other supports that help defenders maintain and improve performance over time.
Funding for this opportunity is limited to a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $500,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for organizations that may not have access to non-federal matching funds. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.540 (Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Allocation to States), indicating the broader federal assistance catalog classification under which this project is listed, even though this particular opportunity is discretionary and structured as a national clearinghouse initiative.
A wide range of applicants are eligible, reflecting the program’s national and cross-sector goals. Eligible applicants include state governments, city or township governments, county governments, independent school districts, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Both public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education may apply, along with nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that category). Public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities are also listed as eligible. This broad eligibility indicates OJJDP’s openness to different organizational models for housing a national clearinghouse, including government agencies, academic centers, and nonprofit technical assistance providers that have the capacity to support the juvenile defense field.
The timeline for the opportunity is clearly defined. The posting and creation date is May 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 24, 2010. The archive date is July 24, 2010, meaning the announcement was intended to be accessible for a short period after the closing date before being formally archived. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, aligning the project with legal representation, justice system improvement, and related technical assistance and policy support work.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Lou Ann Holland, Program Manager. The announcement provides a phone contact (202 2742) and indicates an email contact is available, along with an additional information link pointing to the solicitation URL. In practical terms, interested applicants would be expected to consult the full solicitation for specific deliverables, performance measures, required project components, and application instructions, but the summary purpose is straightforward: to support a national clearinghouse that helps improve the quality, consistency, and systemic strength of juvenile indigent defense and provides ongoing technical support to the juvenile defense community.
