Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2021 48001
The OJJDP FY21 Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), focused on strengthening how communities respond to youth involved in the justice system who are struggling with substance-related issues. The program is designed to build the capacity of states, state and local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized tribal governments to either start new Juvenile Drug Treatment Courts (JDTCs) or improve and expand existing JDTCs. The central goal is to support court-based interventions that can address substance use and related behavioral health needs in a structured, supervised setting that emphasizes treatment, accountability, and coordinated services rather than relying only on traditional punitive responses.
A key aspect of this opportunity is its emphasis on serving young people with substance use disorders and, often, co-occurring mental health disorders. The solicitation aligns its language with clinical standards by referencing the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), which uses the term "substance use disorder" to describe repeated alcohol and/or drug use that leads to significant impairment. That impairment can show up as health problems, disabilities, or difficulties meeting responsibilities at school, at home, or in other daily life areas. The program also explicitly recognizes that many youth affected by substance use may have histories of trauma, and it encourages approaches that account for trauma-related needs as part of effective treatment planning and court oversight. For additional general background on substance use disorders, the opportunity points applicants to SAMHSA resources at https://www.samhsa.gov/disorders/substance-use.
Administratively, this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) in the Law, Justice and Legal Services category, with CFDA number 16.585. The opportunity number is O-OJJDP-2021-48001, and it was created on December 21, 2020, with an original application closing date of February 5, 2021. OJJDP anticipated making about 15 awards under this solicitation. The listed award ceiling is $10,500,000, which reflects the maximum potential award amount referenced in the source information for this opportunity.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The eligibility list also includes "Others" with the note to consult the solicitation text under additional eligibility details, which typically means there may be specific court entities, state administrative offices of the courts, or other justice system partners that qualify depending on how the program rules define the applicant and required partnerships. Overall, the grant is aimed at jurisdictions and court systems that can demonstrate a clear plan to implement or enhance a juvenile drug treatment court model that integrates treatment services with judicial supervision, particularly for youth facing substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health needs, and trauma histories.Apply for O OJJDP 2021 48001
