Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 Community Based Violence Prevention Demonstration Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2011 2967) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), focused on reducing serious youth violence through comprehensive, community-driven strategies. The program is built around the idea that communities seeing persistent, high levels of shootings and killings among or affecting youth can make meaningful reductions in violence when they use coordinated, multi-strategy, multi-disciplinary approaches rather than relying on a single intervention or agency. In practice, the grant is meant to help localities strengthen and align federal, state, and local partnerships so they can replicate approaches that have already shown results in other places, and tailor those proven elements to local conditions. The funding is tied to an authorizing act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice, signaling that it is part of a broader federal commitment to community-based public safety and youth violence prevention.
Eligible applicants are limited to states (including U.S. territories) and units of local government, which explicitly includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior). The solicitation encourages collaboration: two or more eligible entities may submit a joint application, but one organization must be clearly designated as the primary applicant for official correspondence, award administration, and ongoing grant management, with any partner governments listed as co-applicants. A key eligibility requirement is that the applicant must be able to demonstrate a significant crime and violence problem affecting youth, described specifically as high levels of shootings and killings over an extended period of time. This is not a general youth development grant; it is targeted at places experiencing sustained, serious violence that is harming young people, families, and neighborhoods.
A major feature of the competition is the emphasis on local leadership buy-in and integration with existing youth violence prevention efforts. OJJDP indicates it will give preference to applicants with strong support within local government. In practical terms, competitive applications are expected to include signed letters of support from, at minimum, the mayor or chief executive officer, the chief of police, and the local school superintendent. Beyond simply collecting endorsements, applicants are expected to show how the proposed comprehensive, community-based violence prevention strategy fits into the locality's broader youth violence prevention plan or plans. That alignment requirement underscores that the grant is intended to reinforce a coordinated local agenda rather than fund a standalone project operating on the margins of city or county policy.
The award instrument is a grant under the public safety and justice assistance area (Funding Activity Category: Law, Justice and Legal Services), and it is associated with CFDA number 16.123 (Community Based Violence Prevention Program). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which can lower the barrier for high-need jurisdictions that may not have flexible local dollars available for match. The award ceiling is $2,200,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating that award amounts may vary depending on the scope of the proposed work and available funding, up to the stated maximum.
Key dates for the FY 2011 competition include a posted date of March 22, 2011, a closing date of May 23, 2011 (both the original and current closing date), and an archive date of October 1, 2011. The listing also shows a creation date of April 8, 2011, reflecting when the opportunity record was established or updated in the system. Applicants needing the full announcement were directed to the "Full Announcement" link in the posting, and those who had trouble accessing it electronically could contact the Justice Information Center for assistance via email at JIC@telesishq.com. The contact center hours were 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on weekdays, with extended hours on the solicitation close date (open until 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time), which highlights the expectation of timely submission and last-day applicant support.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at communities facing entrenched youth violence and seeking resources to implement a comprehensive prevention and intervention framework supported by strong cross-system partnerships. The program prioritizes demonstrated need, documented local government commitment, and strategies that are both evidence-informed and integrated into existing local plans to prevent youth violence.
