About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking grant applications for the FY25 Strategies To Support Children Exposed to Violence program. The primary objectives are to develop support services for children exposed to violence in homes, schools, and communities, and to implement violent crime reduction strategies focusing on juvenile offenders. Key program goals include reducing violence through offender accountability, responding to child victimization, and increasing protective factors to prevent juvenile violence and delinquency. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, governmental entities (state, county, tribal, city), educational institutions, and special district governments. The grant opportunity requires applicants to develop comprehensive approaches to help children and families impacted by violence, with a focus on building resilience, restoring safety, and healing trauma. The application deadline is October 21, 2025, and proposals will be evaluated based on their alignment with OJJDP's policies, program priorities, and applicable laws.
Historical data suggests that cooperative agreements for this program typically range from $825,000 to $972,406 and span three-year performance periods. The funding will support developing trauma-informed mental health services, creating violence prevention programs, and providing direct support to children and families in underserved communities. Recipients will be expected to implement multi-disciplinary collaborative teams and provide therapeutic interventions for children exposed to violence. Awards will be processed through the DOJ's Justice Grants System (JustGrants), with successful applicants notified upon approval by the Assistant Attorney General. The place of performance will be determined by the specific community or organization receiving the grant, with a focus on local and regional implementation of violence prevention and support strategies.
