Opportunity Summary:

The OJJDP FY 2014 Youth With Sexual Behavior Problems Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), designed to support community-based responses for youth who have engaged in problematic sexual behaviors. The core purpose is to fund agencies that can deliver a comprehensive, multidisciplinary model that combines intervention and supervision for the youth with coordinated treatment and support for the child victim(s) and the youth offender's parents or caregivers. Rather than focusing only on the youth, the program is structured around a family and victim-informed approach, recognizing that effective intervention often requires coordinated services across systems such as juvenile justice, behavioral health, child advocacy, and victim services.

A key feature of the program is its emphasis on screening and clinical appropriateness for community-based care. Youth served under the grant must receive a mental health evaluation to determine whether they are amenable to community-based treatment and intervention. The program is not aimed at youth with extensive histories of sexual offense adjudications; instead, it specifically targets youth offenders who have no prior history of court involvement for sexual misconduct. In practice, this prioritization signals that the program is intended as an early, treatment-oriented response that can divert suitable youth away from deeper justice system involvement while still maintaining accountability, supervision, and safety planning.

The solicitation is divided into two funding categories to reflect different applicant pools and community contexts. Category 1, Nontribal Project Sites, is open to states and territories, units of local government, and nonprofit or for-profit organizations. Category 2, Tribal Project Sites, is limited to federally recognized tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior) and tribal nonprofit or for-profit organizations. The structure indicates an intent to ensure tribal communities have a dedicated pathway for funding and program design that fits their jurisdictional and cultural realities. The announcement also allows collaborative applications involving two or more entities, but one eligible organization must serve as the lead applicant with primary responsibility for managing and directing the project, while partner organizations participate as subrecipients.

Funding is offered as a grant (not a cooperative agreement), and the solicitation lists an award ceiling of $400,000 with no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for jurisdictions and providers that may have limited capacity to provide nonfederal match. Eligible applicant types, as reflected in the listing, include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, public and private institutions of higher education, and for-profit entities including small businesses. However, for-profit applicants must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, reinforcing that funds must be used for program delivery rather than generating revenue.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP-2014-3818 and is tied to CFDA 16.543 (Missing Children's Assistance). The posting date was May 19, 2014, with an application closing date of July 17, 2014, and an archive date of August 16, 2014. The program is described as a collaboration between OJJDP and the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART Office), reflecting a blend of juvenile justice, victim services, and sex offender management expertise. The solicitation is authorized by the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113-76, 128 Stat. 5, 63-65), which establishes the legal and funding basis for DOJ to make these awards.

Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the Justice Information Center (JIC), with support available by phone, email (JIC@telesishq.com), and live web chat during specified business hours, including extended hours on the close date.
