Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2016 Juvenile Justice Emergency Planning Demonstration Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to help juvenile justice residential facilities and the agencies and organizations that oversee or support them become better prepared for emergencies by creating, improving, and putting into practice facility-specific emergency preparedness plans. The program is framed as a demonstration effort, meaning the intent is not only to fund planning work, but also to support practical implementation that can be replicated and inform broader juvenile justice emergency preparedness efforts.
The core purpose of the funding is to ensure that emergency planning for juvenile facilities is grounded in recognized best practices, specifically the principles described in the guidance document Emergency Planning for Juvenile Justice Residential Facilities. Applicants are expected to use those principles as the foundation for their plans and to tailor them to local risks and conditions. A central emphasis is that juvenile facilities have unique operational realities and populations, so plans should directly address the distinct needs of children and youth in custody, as well as their families and caregivers, during emergencies. In practice, this implies planning that accounts for youth safety, supervision, medical and mental health needs, communication with families, continuity of education and services, transportation and evacuation logistics, and coordination with external partners such as emergency management, public health, law enforcement, courts, child welfare, and community-based providers.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of entities that may operate, oversee, or partner with juvenile justice facilities. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, cities or townships, federally recognized tribal governments, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities under that category), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and other entities as clarified in the solicitation. This wide eligibility reflects the reality that juvenile justice emergency preparedness often requires collaboration across government, tribal systems, facility operators, researchers or technical experts, and community organizations.
The grant is offered as a standard grant funding instrument under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category and is associated with CFDA number 16.823. OJJDP anticipated making up to six awards, with an award ceiling of $150,000 per award. The solicitation was posted on April 12, 2016, with an application closing date of May 31, 2016. The opportunity number for reference is OJJDP 2016 9720.
