##   OJJDP FY 2022 Supporting Vulnerable At-Risk Youth and Youth Transitioning Out of Foster Care

06/30/2022

08/15/2022

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. OJJDP envisions a nation where children are free from crime and violence. Youth contact with the justice system should be rare, fair, and beneficial to them. The OJJDP FY 2022 Supporting Vulnerable At-Risk Youth and Youth Transitioning Out of Foster Care solicitation supports the establishment of a pilot demonstration program to develop, implement, and build replicable treatment models for residential-based innovative care, treatment, and services. The primary population served by such pilot programs shall include adolescents and youth transitioning out of foster care who have experienced a history of foster care involvement, child poverty, child abuse or neglect, human trafficking, juvenile justice involvement, substance use or misuse, or gang involvement. Eligible applicants can provide services to youth and young adults up to and including age 25. Consistent with the Family First Prevention Services Act of 2018 (Family First), OJJDP believes that children should be kept safely with their families to avoid the trauma that results when children are placed in out-of-home care. To increase the number of children who can remain safely at home with their families, Family First provides families with greater access to mental health services, substance use treatment, and/or improved parenting skills. This law significantly shifts how the country provides services for families and youth. In particular, it changed the role of community service providers, how courts advocate and make decisions for families, and the types of placements that youth placed in out-of-home care experience. Similar to Family First, the 2018 reauthorization of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act also emphasizes the value of keeping youth in their homes and families, over out-of-home placements and incarceration. Other common values between the two Acts include: commitment to evidence-based and promising practices, increasing access to education and workforce development opportunities, and a focus on prevention. This solicitation recognizes the need to offer high quality services and treatment to help put youth who are transitioning from foster care on a track for success. Funding may not be used to expand the capacity of residential- facilities through construction of additional units or bed capacity. Category 1: Project Sites. Funding under this category will support the efforts of eligible applicant organizations to develop or enhance their capacity to support at-risk and vulnerable youth transitioning out of foster care by funding implementation of replicable models for residential-based innovative care, treatment, and services. Funds may not be used for construction of new units or increased bed capacity for youth. Category 2: Training and Technical Assistance. Funding under this category will support a training and technical assistance provider to support the Category 1 project sites and increase awareness of innovative treatment models for vulnerable and at-risk youth transitioning out of foster care for other interested communities.

##   OJJDP FY 2023 Supporting Vulnerable and At-Risk Youth Transitioning Out of Foster Care

03/01/2023

04/19/2023

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. OJJDP's guiding philosophy is to enhance the welfare of America’s youth and broaden their opportunities for a better future. To bring these goals to fruition, OJJDP is leading efforts to transform the juvenile justice system into one that will Treat Children as Children; Serve Children at Home, With Their Families, in their Communities; and Open Up Opportunities for System-Involved Youth. OJJDP encourages all proposed applications that work with youth to highlight how the proposed program aligns with these priorities. OJJDP envisions a juvenile justice system centered on the strengths, needs, and voices of youth and families. Young people and family members with lived experience are vital resources for understanding and reaching persons involved or at risk of involvement with youth-serving systems. OJJDP asks stakeholders to join us in sustainably integrating bold, transformative youth and family partnership strategies into our daily work. OJJDP believes in achieving positive outcomes for youth, families, and communities through meaningful partnership and active partnerships, ensuring they play a central role in collaboratively developing solutions. Applicants must describe how their proposed project/program will integrate and sustain meaningful youth and family partnerships into their project plan and budget. Depending on the nature of an applicant’s proposed project, youth and family partnership could consist of one or more of the following: Individual-level partnership in case planning and direct service delivery (before, during, and after contact with youth-serving systems). Agency-level partnership (e.g., in policy, practice, and program development, implementation, and evaluation; staffing; advisory bodies; budget development). System-level partnership (e.g., in strategic planning activities, system improvement initiatives, advocacy strategies, reform efforts). With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to support the establishment of a pilot demonstration program to develop, implement, and build replicable treatment models for residential-based innovative care, treatment, and services. The primary population served by such pilot programs will include adolescents and youth transitioning out of foster care who have experienced a history of foster care involvement, child poverty, child abuse or neglect, human trafficking, juvenile justice system involvement, substance use or misuse, or gang involvement.

##   OJJDP FY 2023 Family-Based Alternative Justice Program

System-level partnership (e.g., in strategic planning activities, system improvement initiatives, advocacy strategies, reform efforts). One in ten of the nation’s children have a parent under criminal justice control—in jail or prison, or on probation or parole.[1] Separation due to incarceration can cause trauma and long-lasting harm to children, their parents and caregivers, families, and communities. With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to keep families together by helping states and communities implement new, or enhance existing, community-based alternative justice programs that divert justice-involved parents/primary caregivers from incarceration, promote the unification of families, prevent children from entering the foster care and/or juvenile justice systems, and allow parents or primary caregivers involved with the justice system to remain united with their children to improve family outcomes.

##   OJJDP Combined FY 2021 and FY 2022 Invited To Apply - Prison Rape Elimination Act Reallocation Funds

04/26/2023

06/12/2023

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community Congress passed the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) in 2003 and intended that the Act would provide for the analysis of the incidents and effects of prison rape in federal, state, and local institutions and provide information, resources, recommendations, and funding to protect individuals from prison rape (see 34 U.S.C. § 30301-30309). In addition to mandating research on sexual assault in confinement facilities, PREA provided funding that the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and the National Institute of Corrections administer to support efforts across the nation to establish zero-tolerance cultures for sexual assault in confinement facilities. The law also directed the Attorney General to promulgate national standards for all such facilities, including prisons and local jails, police lockups, community confinement facilities, and youth facilities. Among other things, PREA provides that unless the Governor certifies full compliance with the standards, a state may lose 5 percent of any DOJ grant funds that it would otherwise receive for prison purposes. In this case, the Governor may submit an assurance that the state will use the 5 percent only to achieve and certify full compliance with the standards in future years (34 U.S.C. § 30307(e)). OJJDP’s Title II, Part B, Formula Grants Program is one of the DOJ grant programs subject to this requirement. Pursuant to PREA, the Governor has three options: (1) submit a certification that the state is in full compliance, (2) submit an assurance that the state will use not less than 5 percent of its DOJ funding for prison purposes (including its Title II, Part B, Formula Grant award) to adopt and achieve full compliance with the Standards, or (3) accept a 5-percent reduction in such grants (including its Title II, Part B, Formula Grant award). Each state’s status of compliance with PREA, including certification letters signed by the Governor (as well as assurances), may be found at http://www.prearesourcecenter.org/. OJJDP will calculate the PREA reallocated amount by reducing the state-retained portion of its Title II, Part B, Formula Grant funding by 5 percent. Funding for state advisory groups and funds passed through for local youth justice programming will not be subject to the 5-percent penalty. Statutory Authority: 34 U.S.C. § 11131; 34 U.S.C. § 30307(e)
