About this program
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs funds school-justice collaboration initiatives under CFDA 16.829 (Assistance Listing 16.829), with the most recent grant awards dated October 2014. This program has not issued new grant awards in the past 12 years, making current funding activity unclear and pursuit risky without confirmation of program status from the program office.
The program supports implementation of the Department of Justice/OJJDP component of a federal interagency initiative involving the Department of Health and Human Services/SAMHSA and Department of Education. It funds school diversion and reentry efforts, including diversion programs, restorative justice responses, court-led problem-solving approaches to keep students out of law enforcement and juvenile justice systems, and proactive school reentry support when youth are referred to justice. The statute contemplates both formula and discretionary awards; grants are structured for 24- to 36-month project periods.
All five awards in the recent portfolio are Cooperative Agreements, with combined federal dollars obligated at $2.9 million. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs obligated $1.9 million across two awards, while the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention obligated $1 million across three awards.
Recent award examples include the Philadelphia School Diversion Program ($444,269.72), Mahoning County Juvenile Court and Mahoning County High School's "Keeping Kids in School and Out of Court" program ($587,010.88), and a national training and technical assistance component ($1,910,177.00). Typical awards ranged from roughly $400 thousand to $1.9 million.
No recent grant opportunities are posted. Applicants must submit via the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System or grants.gov. The program office must be contacted to confirm renewal status and current solicitation plans.
