OJJDP FY 2016 Family Drug Court Implementation and Enhancement Program: The Family Drug Courts program builds the capacity of states, state and local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized tribal governments to either implement new drug courts or enhance pre-existing drug courts for individuals with substance abuse disorders or substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, including histories of trauma, who are involved with the family dependency court as a result of child abuse, neglect, and other parenting issues. Applicants must provide services to the parents in the program and their children. This program provides seed money, not long-term support. OJJDP expects successful applicants to develop and implement a sustainability plan during the grant period to continue operation of the family drug court when the grant ends.

Applicants Eligible for this Grant: State governments - County governments - City or township governments - Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) - Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification.)
Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible applicants under both categories are limited to states (including territories), state and local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior). Faith- and community-based, nonprofit, and for-profit organizations are ineligible as applicants, but OJJDP encourages them to partner with eligible applicants as a community provider of services, if applicable and appropriate. Eligible applicants must provide direct services to youth who are younger than 18 years of age and to their parents. An eligible applicant may designate a subunit of government (for example, county probation department, district attorney’s office, or pretrial services agency) as the authorized representative. Another example, the county executive may designate the county probation or district attorney’s office as its representative when applying for this grant. In such cases, the applicant must submit an authorization letter from the eligible agency or organization. OJJDP welcomes applications that involve two or more entities that will carry out the funded federal award activities; however, one eligible entity must be the applicant and the others must be proposed as subrecipients. The applicant must be the entity that will administer the funding and manage the entire project. OJJDP will consider only one application per lead applicant; however, subrecipients may be part of multiple proposals. This solicitation is composed of two grant categories. Applicants must clearly designate under which category they are applying. Category 1: Implementation. Implementation grants are available to jurisdictions that are ready to implement a family drug court. These are for jurisdictions where either no family drug court currently exists or a family drug court has been operational for less than 1 year. Jurisdictions may already have other types of drug or treatment courts (such as adult drug or mental health courts). Category 2: Enhancement. Enhancement grants are available to jurisdictions with a fully operational (for at least 1 year) family drug court that wish to enhance the operation of the court.
