Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Coordinated Assistance for States opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), designed to strengthen how states and communities prevent and respond to juvenile delinquency. The central idea behind the program is OJJDPs broader vision that youth should be healthy, educated, and free from violence, and that any involvement with the juvenile justice system should be uncommon, equitable, and ultimately helpful rather than harmful. To move that vision into day to day practice, the grant supports a coordinated package of resources, training, and technical assistance that helps jurisdictions plan, build, operate, connect, and evaluate delinquency prevention, intervention, and juvenile justice system improvement efforts.
This funding is authorized under Section 221 of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 5601 et seq., which specifically allows OJJDP to provide training and technical assistance to states, tribes, local governments, and certain organizations that help the justice system address juvenile delinquency. In practical terms, the program is structured to deliver guidance that aligns with the Title II Formula Grants program areas, with the solicitation highlighting several priority areas where states and localities often need hands on support. One major emphasis is on reducing ethnic and racial disparities in the juvenile justice system through state and local strategies that address disproportionate impacts. Another key focus is helping states monitor and maintain compliance with the JJDPA core requirements, including deinstitutionalization of status offenders (DSO), separation of youth from adult inmates, jail removal (keeping youth out of adult jails and lockups), and addressing disproportionate minority contact (DMC). Beyond compliance and equity, the program also aims to build the capacity of State Advisory Groups (SAGs) established under the JJDPA, support state, local, and tribal juvenile justice and corrections agencies (along with service providers and private organizations operating juvenile facilities), and improve information sharing across juvenile justice, child welfare, mental health, and education systems so that youth are not forced to navigate fragmented services. The solicitation additionally calls out emergency preparedness planning for juvenile justice residential facilities, referencing principles laid out in OJJDPS Emergency Planning for Juvenile Justice Residential Facilities guidance.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial federal involvement during implementation, often including close coordination with OJJDP on deliverables, timelines, and technical assistance priorities. The solicitation anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and no stated award floor. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants needed to be prepared to document and meet match obligations consistent with the programs rules. The CFDA listing associated with this opportunity is 16.540 (Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Allocation to States), and the activity category is Law, Justice, and Legal Services.
Eligibility was broad and included states (including territories), units of local government, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations), for profit organizations, and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). The solicitation encouraged collaborative applications involving two or more entities, but required that one eligible entity serve as the primary applicant and lead, with other partners included as subrecipients as appropriate. For profit applicants were permitted, but only if they agreed to waive any profit or management fee, reinforcing that grant funds should be used strictly for program purposes rather than earnings.
Key administrative details included the Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2014 3920, a posted date of May 19, 2014, and an application deadline of July 3, 2014 (with the same date listed as the original and current closing date). The opportunity was later archived on August 2, 2014. For applicant support, the solicitation directed technical access questions to the Justice Information Center (JIC), providing phone, email, and web chat options and listing extended hours on the close date.
