The Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) was awarded a $6,000,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) under the Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program (CFDA 16.838). The award will fund a subaward program for local project sites and the development of a national training and technical assistance (TTA) program. The overarching goal is to build the capability and capacity of diversion programs serving justice-involved youth with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health needs, preventing their entry into the formal justice system by diverting them to treatment, healing, and support services. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
