OpportunityTitle: OJJDP FY 18 Drug Treatment Courts Program
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants are limited to states (including territories), units of local government,  and federally recognized tribal governments as determined by the Secretary of the Interior. Faith- and community-based, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations are ineligible as applicants, but OJJDP encourages them to partner with eligible applicants as a community provider of services, if applicable and appropriate.     Eligible applicants who propose to provide direct services to youth under Category 1: Juvenile Drug Treatment Courts must not include youth who are older than age 18. Eligible applicants under Categories 2 and 3: Family Drug Courts Enhancement and Family Drug Courts Implementation must provide direct services to youth who are younger than age 18 and to their parents.    Category 1: Juvenile Drug Treatment Court grants are available to jurisdictions with a fully operational (for at least 1 year) drug court.    Category 2: Family Drug Courts Enhancement grants are available to jurisdictions with a fully operational (for at least 1 year) family drug court to enhance the operation of the court.    Category 3: Family Drug Courts Implementation grants are available to jurisdictions that are ready to implement a family drug court. These are for jurisdictions where either no family drug court currently exists or a family drug court has been operational for less than 1 year. Jurisdictions may already have other types of drug or treatment courts (such as adult drug or mental health courts).    An eligible applicant may designate a subunit of government (for example, county probation department, district attorney&#146;s office, or pretrial services agency) as the authorized representative. As another example, the county executive may designate the county probation or district attorney&#146;s office as its representative when applying for this grant. In such cases, the applicant must submit an authorization letter from the eligible agency or organization.
Description: This program will provide funding to support states, units of local governments, and tribes to support juvenile drug treatment courts and family drug courts. Category 1 will provide funding to juvenile drug treatment courts to implement enhancements based on the Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Guidelines. Category 2 will support family drug courts to address the complex needs of children who have been prenatally exposed to opioids, or have experienced post-natal exposure to opioid use (living with a parent/caregiver with an opioid use disorder), and identify specific services that best improve child, parent and family outcomes.
