OpportunityTitle: OJJDP FY 16 Family Drug Court Statewide System Reform
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Applicants are limited to State Administrative Offices of the Court. The applicant must coordinate closely with the Court Improvement Program in the states. Although the Administrative Office of the Court is the applicant and lead agency, the state child welfare agency and state substance abuse treatment agency are required collaborating partners, and the application must include memorandums of understanding formalizing these partnerships. Iowa, Colorado, New York, Ohio, and Alabama, which have already received funding under this initiative, are not eligible to apply.
Description: The Family Drug Court program seeks to build the capacity of states, state courts, local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized tribal governments to either implement new or enhance pre-existing drug courts to provide services for individuals with substance use disorders or substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders who are involved with the family dependency court as a result of child abuse and neglect issues.
