About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking grant applications for emergency planning activities targeting juvenile justice residential facilities. This funding opportunity aims to support the development, implementation, and improvement of comprehensive emergency preparedness plans that prioritize the safety and well-being of youth and staff during crisis situations. Eligible applicants include state, tribal, county, and local governments, nonprofit organizations, independent school districts, and higher education institutions. The grant will focus on ensuring facilities can maintain operations, reduce risks, keep families informed, and develop robust emergency response strategies. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize the comprehensiveness of emergency plans, youth and family engagement strategies, and potential for operational continuity during emergencies. The grant application is due on October 27, 2025, with the funding opportunity officially posted on September 17, 2025.
While specific award amounts are not precisely defined in the opportunity, historical data suggests grants in this program typically range from $106,000 to $250,000, with performance periods spanning two years (October 1 to September 30). The funding will support activities such as developing emergency operations plans, purchasing critical infrastructure like generators, establishing youth and family advisory councils, and providing emergency preparedness training. Projects will be implemented at juvenile justice residential facilities across various jurisdictions, with a focus on creating localized, tailored emergency response strategies. Successful applicants will be notified through the DOJ's Justice Grants System (JustGrants) and must electronically accept the award through the platform.
