Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 Family Drug Court Programs grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2013 3452) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention designed to strengthen family drug courts that work with parents involved in the family dependency court system due to child abuse, neglect, or other serious parenting concerns. The core purpose is to expand or improve court based interventions for parents with substance use disorders, including people who have co occurring mental health disorders and trauma histories, while also ensuring that their children receive appropriate services and supports. In practical terms, the program is meant to help communities either start a new family drug court or enhance an existing one by improving the court team approach, treatment connections, case management, and coordinated services focused on family safety, stability, and recovery.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is explicitly framed as seed funding rather than ongoing operational support. OJJDP expects award recipients to use the grant period to build capacity and infrastructure, then develop and put into action a sustainability plan so the family drug court can continue once federal dollars end. This emphasis signals that applicants are expected to think beyond short term program launches and instead demonstrate how they will maintain staffing, partnerships, treatment access, and court operations through future state or local funding streams, reimbursement mechanisms, braided funding, or other long term strategies.
The solicitation is tied to CFDA 16.585 (Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program) and is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 3797u et seq. OJJDP anticipated making about four awards, with an award ceiling of $650,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor $0). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should plan for a required non federal contribution consistent with the terms of the solicitation. The opportunity was posted January 24, 2013, with an application deadline of March 25, 2013, and it was archived April 24, 2013.
Eligibility is limited to public sector entities: state governments, state and local courts, units of local government (such as counties or cities/townships), and federally recognized tribal governments. These eligible entities may apply directly or act through agreements with other public or private organizations. While nonprofit, faith based, community based, and for profit organizations cannot apply as the lead applicant, OJJDP encourages them to participate as partners or service providers when appropriate, which is often essential for treatment delivery, family supports, and other wraparound services. The program also allows an eligible applicant to designate a subunit of government (for example, a county probation department, district attorney office, or pretrial services agency) as the authorized representative for the application, as long as an authorization letter is submitted. Joint applications are welcomed as well, but one entity must be named as the primary applicant for award administration and communication, with others identified as co applicants.
Programmatically, applicants are required to provide direct services to youth under age 18 and to the parents participating in the family drug court, reflecting the family centered nature of dependency court drug court models. The funded work is intended to address both substance use and co occurring needs, with attention to trauma, and to improve outcomes tied to child safety, permanency, and family functioning by pairing accountability and judicial oversight with treatment and supportive services.
For applicants needing help with the solicitation requirements or access to the full announcement, OJJDP directed inquiries to the Justice Information Center (JIC) via phone at 1 877 927 5657, email at JIC@telesishq.com, or live web chat during posted business hours (with extended hours on the close date).
