OJJDP FY 2007 High-Risk Youth Offender Reentry and Family Strengthening Initiatives: The High-Risk Youth Offender Reentry and Family Strengthening Initiative is designed to support innovations and enhancements of juvenile justice related practice at the local, state and tribal government levels as authorized by the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 2002, 42 U.S.C. 5665-5667. Under this initiative, OJJDP will fund (1) high risk youth offender reentry strategies and programs designed to promote collaboration among Departments of Juvenile Corrections, faith-based and community-based organizations and providers committed to providing opportunities, resources and services for youth offenders who are returning to their families and communities, school systems, and/or workforce environments, following a period of confinement in a juvenile residential facility, and (2) family strengthening strategies and programs that focus on improving family economic success, family support systems, and building thriving and nurturing communities in which healthy families can purse long-term goals. OJJDP will give priority to family strengthening programs that focus on strengthening the families of youth at risk of becoming involved in the juvenile justice system. OJJDP is particularly interested in programs or strategies that address family strengths and needs in an integrated, comprehensive, communitywide approach that focuses on change, not only at the individual level, but also at the family and community levels.
