Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Youth Gang Prevention and Intervention Program was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), under CFDA 16.544 (Youth Gang Prevention). It was designed to help communities respond to the harmful effects of youth gangs on public safety and youth development by supporting structured, evidence-informed local efforts. The core idea behind the program is that gang activity is best reduced through multi-strategy and multi-disciplinary approaches, meaning communities should be coordinating prevention, intervention, and broader anti-gang actions across multiple partners rather than relying on a single agency or tactic.
The program specifically focused on funding localities to replicate selected secondary gang prevention and intervention models that are considered promising or effective. In practice, this means applicants were not being asked to invent entirely new approaches from scratch; instead, they were expected to implement established programs with a track record or strong evidence base, and to do so in a way that stays faithful to the key elements that made those programs successful elsewhere. The emphasis on "secondary" prevention and intervention generally points to youth who are already at elevated risk of gang involvement or who may already be involved, rather than broad, universal prevention aimed at all youth regardless of risk.
A major requirement was that the proposed prevention and intervention programming had to be embedded within an existing community-based comprehensive anti-gang initiative. In other words, OJJDP was not funding stand-alone projects operating in isolation. The expectation was that communities already had a coordinated anti-gang framework in place, and this grant would strengthen that framework by adding or expanding proven prevention and intervention components. As a related eligibility condition, OJJDP invited applications only from communities that had completed a comprehensive community gang assessment (referenced in the solicitation as "Community Gang Assessment"), signaling that applicants needed to demonstrate a clear, data-informed understanding of their local gang problem and the specific gaps their chosen program replication would address.
Eligible applicants included a broad mix of public and private entities. On the public side, this included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. On the private side, eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and the solicitation also referenced faith-based, community, and tribal organizations as eligible private entities. The listing also included an "Others" category with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, reinforcing that eligibility was expansive but still tied to communities that had completed the required gang assessment and were working within a comprehensive anti-gang initiative.
Funding details reflect a relatively moderate project scale intended for local implementation. The award ceiling was $325,000, with an award floor listed as $0 (which typically means there was no stated minimum award amount in the posted data). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide a formal match as a condition of funding, which can make participation more feasible for smaller jurisdictions or community organizations with limited unrestricted funds.
The opportunity was posted on March 31, 2010, with an application deadline of May 20, 2010, and applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (OJP GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The source text includes two versions of the deadline time on the closing date (one stating 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time and another stating 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time), which typically means applicants would have needed to follow the time stated in the final, controlling solicitation instructions in GMS or the full announcement. The funding opportunity number was OJJDP 2010 2637. The opportunity was later archived on November 7, 2011.
Finally, the program authority was tied to the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117), which is the legislative basis cited for making these funds available. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, applicants were directed to the GMS Helpdesk at 1-888-549-9901, with email support also referenced.
