Opportunity Information: Apply for OJJDP 2017 10980
The OJJDP FY 17 Smart on Juvenile Justice: Out of Home Placement funding opportunity (Opportunity Number OJJDP 2017 10980) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It focuses on juvenile justice system improvements that reduce the use of out-of-home placement for youth by strengthening and expanding community-based alternatives. In practical terms, the program is designed to help jurisdictions rely less on removing young people from their homes and placing them in facilities, and instead build local options that keep youth connected to families, schools, and supportive services whenever it is safe and appropriate to do so.
A key theme of the solicitation is shifting away from responses that are primarily about control and deterrence and moving toward approaches grounded in individualized treatment and services. That means the program emphasizes tailored interventions that match a young person s needs and risks, rather than defaulting to confinement or placement as a standard response. The goal is to support strategies that can safely reduce placements while still holding youth accountable, improving outcomes, and addressing underlying issues such as behavioral health needs, trauma exposure, family instability, or educational disruptions.
The grant falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 16.540. Eligible applicants include state governments, along with other eligible entities as described in the solicitation s additional eligibility information. The anticipated scale of the program is relatively targeted: OJJDP expected to make about three awards, with an award ceiling of $250,000 per grant. The opportunity was created on December 19, 2016, and the original application deadline was February 22, 2017.
Overall, this opportunity supports states and eligible partners that want to build or expand evidence-informed community alternatives to placing youth outside the home, while advancing a more treatment-oriented, individualized juvenile justice approach. It is aimed at helping systems reduce reliance on placement and improve youth outcomes by investing in services and interventions that are delivered in the community rather than in residential or institutional settings.Apply for OJJDP 2017 10980
