Judiciary Courts Of The State Of New Jersey

The Judiciary Courts of the State of New Jersey, operating through its Management Services Division, is a state government entity that serves as a child entity within New Jersey's judicial system. Headquartered at the Richard J. Hughes Justice Complex in Trenton, the organization has maintained federal SAM.gov registration since August 2004. Through its federal grant awards, the Judiciary Courts provides essential services focused on family support, child welfare, and specialized court interventions that strengthen New Jersey's judicial capacity to address critical social service needs.

The Judiciary Courts has demonstrated a consistent track record of federal grant funding across multiple HHS programs since fiscal year 2022. The organization has been a prime recipient of formula grants under the Grants to States for Access and Visitation Programs (CFDA 93.597), administered by the Office of Child Support Enforcement, with successive awards in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, most recently receiving $196,896 for the period spanning October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. These grants support the development and implementation of mediation, counseling, education, and parenting plan services designed to facilitate meaningful connections between non-custodial parents and their children while promoting healthy family dynamics. Additionally, the Judiciary Courts has been a prime recipient of State Court Improvement (SCIP) Basic Program formula grants from the Administration on Children, Youth and Families for fiscal years 2023 through 2025, funding specialized court interventions and child welfare proceeding improvements across the state. As a sub-grantee, the organization has partnered with entities including Legal Services of New Jersey to deliver the Family Stability and Preservation Project, which provides civil legal services to income-eligible families involved with New Jersey's Division of Child Protection and Permanency, addressing poverty-related legal issues and facilitating family stabilization. The Judiciary Courts has also served as a sub-grantee under awards from the New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety for Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) programming and has partnered with New York University on recovery court initiatives focused on improving outcomes for individuals on community supervision through transportation assistance and housing support services.
