Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 Community Based Violence Prevention Demonstration Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2013 3451) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. It was designed to help communities with serious youth violence problems strengthen and expand comprehensive, community-based violence reduction efforts. The core idea behind the program was that communities seeing persistent violent crime affecting young people need more than a single intervention; they need coordinated, multi-strategy, multi-disciplinary approaches that bring together law enforcement, schools, local government leadership, community partners, and other systems. Funding was intended to support localities in building and sustaining federal, state, and local partnerships to replicate proven, community-based strategies that reduce violence and improve neighborhood safety for youth and families. The solicitation noted that the program would be authorized through an act appropriating FY 2013 funds for DOJ.
Awards were to be made as cooperative agreements, which generally means OJJDP expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, through collaboration, oversight, technical assistance expectations, or close coordination on implementation). The activity category was Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA listing associated with the program was 16.123 (Community Based Violence Prevention Program). OJJDP anticipated making about six awards under this solicitation. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $250,000 up to a ceiling of $1,500,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning applicants were not required to provide a formal match as a condition of funding.
Eligibility was limited to governmental entities: state governments (including territories) and units of local government, including federally recognized tribal governments as determined by the Secretary of the Interior. A key eligibility threshold was the requirement to demonstrate a significant, ongoing crime and violence problem affecting youth, specifically characterized by high levels of aggravated assaults, shootings, and killings over an extended period of time. In other words, the program was not aimed at areas with only emerging or isolated incidents; it targeted jurisdictions facing sustained, serious youth violence challenges.
The solicitation emphasized local government commitment and coordination as central to being competitive. OJJDP indicated it expected strong support within local government, and successful applications were 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. Applicants also needed to show how their proposed comprehensive, community-based violence prevention strategy fit into the jurisdiction's broader youth violence prevention plan, signaling that OJJDP was looking for efforts embedded in an existing strategic framework rather than standalone projects. Joint applications from two or more eligible applicants were welcomed, but one entity had to be clearly identified as the primary applicant for communication, award administration, and management, with the other participating jurisdictions listed as co-applicants. The solicitation also noted that OJJDP might conduct site visits to designated locations prior to making final award decisions, reflecting an added level of due diligence to verify local readiness, partnership strength, and the practical feasibility of the proposed approach.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on February 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 22, 2013, and an archive date of May 22, 2013. For access to the full announcement or help with application requirements, the solicitation provided support through the Justice Information Center (JIC), including phone, email, and live web chat, with extended hours on the closing date.
