OJJDP FY 19 Family Drug Court Program

Additional information on eligibility (from the notice)

Eligible applicants are limited to states, territories, State courts, local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior) acting on behalf of a single jurisdiction drug court. Faith and community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations), and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions of higher education) are ineligible as applicants; however, OJJDP encourages these entities to partner with eligible applicants as a community provider of services, if applicable and appropriate. This solicitation is composed of three grant categories. Applicants must clearly designate the category for which they are applying. Category 1: Enhancing Family Drug Courts Category 2: Serving Veterans Through Family Drug Courts Category 3: Establishing New Family Drug Courts Category 1: Enhancing Family Drug Courts and Category 2: Serving Veterans Through Family Drug Courts are available to jurisdictions with a fully operational family drug court. Courts applying for funding under category 1 or 2 must be fully operational for at least 1 year, as funding is intended to enhance services of existing family drug courts. Category 3: Establishing New Family Drug Courts grants are available to jurisdictions that are ready to implement a new family drug court. These grants 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).

A quick check against the listed applicant types — other requirements in the notice still apply.
