Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Family Drug Court Statewide System Reform grant was a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), focused on taking proven family drug court practices that were working in individual communities and building them into lasting, statewide systems. The central idea was to move beyond isolated, local family drug courts and instead embed those approaches across the larger state child welfare, substance abuse treatment, and court infrastructures so that families involved with child welfare due to parental substance use disorders could be served more consistently, more comprehensively, and at a much larger scale. The authorization for the program was cited as 42 U.S.C. 3797u, et seq., and the funding activity category was listed under law, justice, and legal services.
At a practical level, the opportunity aimed at statewide systems reform rather than simply launching another court program in one county. OJJDP emphasized two related goals: increasing scale and increasing scope. “Scale†meant raising the penetration rate of family drug court practices across the broader child welfare and treatment systems, so that more families across the state could access coordinated, court-involved substance use disorder interventions rather than only those who happened to live in a jurisdiction with a strong local program. “Scope†meant expanding the range and coordination of services available to families, with the intent of improving outcomes not only for parents in treatment but also for children and overall family stability. The grant was framed around improving child, parent, and family outcomes by strengthening how courts, child welfare agencies, and treatment providers work together statewide.
Funding was offered as a grant, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $0, and OJJDP anticipated making about three awards. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project in addition to the federal funds. The funding opportunity number was OJJDP 2014 3926, and it was associated with CFDA number 16.585, the Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program. The solicitation was posted on June 23, 2014, with an original and final closing date of July 23, 2014, and it was later archived on August 22, 2014.
Eligibility was narrow and specifically structured to ensure the project would be led at the state system level rather than by local entities. Applicants were limited to the state Administrative Office of the Court (AOC), and the AOC was expected to work in conjunction with and coordinate closely with the state Court Improvement Program (CIP). Even though the AOC was the designated lead agency, the application itself was required to be developed jointly with two key statewide partners: the state child welfare agency and the state substance abuse treatment agency. OJJDP indicated that joint applications were welcome, but one eligible entity had to serve as the official applicant, while the other partners would typically be included as subrecipients. The applicant also needed to be the organization with primary responsibility for leading and carrying out the project, reinforcing the expectation that the effort would be managed centrally and aligned with statewide reform authority.
Another notable feature of the announcement was that OJJDP reserved the option to make awards from applications submitted under this solicitation in future fiscal years, depending on the quality of applications and the availability of funding. For applicants and state partners, that language signaled that strong proposals could remain competitive beyond the immediate fiscal year if appropriations allowed.
For support during the application process, the solicitation directed applicants to the Justice Information Center (JIC) for help with solicitation requirements and access issues. The contact methods included phone, email, and web chat, with extended hours on the solicitation close date to accommodate last-minute submission questions.
