About this opportunity
The Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention is soliciting grant applications for the Youth Gang Prevention and Intervention Program, with applications due May 22, 2026.
Eligible applicants include tribal governments (federally recognized), county governments, state governments, city and township governments, special district governments, and other entity types. The program supports implementation of intervention and suppression strategies designed to prevent youth from joining gangs, facilitate disengagement from gang involvement, and reduce youth gang violence while promoting public safety.
Recent awards under the parent Delinquency Prevention Program (CFDA 16.548) have ranged from approximately $37,670 to $1.54 million, with cooperative agreements typically valued between $223,200 and $825,000 and project grants between $50,000 and $480,000. Project periods have spanned 18 months to five years. The source does not specify an award ceiling, award floor, or expected number of awards for this specific solicitation.
Funded activities include planning and assessment processes to develop community-based continuums of care, implementation of evidence-based prevention and intervention programs, arts-based programming for justice-involved youth, and youth violence prevention initiatives. The program prioritizes meaningful youth and family partnerships, data-informed decision-making, and sustainable community-based approaches that keep youth in their homes, families, and communities.
Place of performance typically aligns with the applicant jurisdiction's geographic boundaries. Review procedures include eligibility and responsiveness, merit, programmatic, budget, and risk reviews, with the Assistant Attorney General making final award decisions. Authorized representatives must accept or decline awards within 45 days of notification.
Synopsis
