Application Deadline: May 9, 2023

Sponsor

Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP)

Purpose

Provides funding to support juvenile courts working to establish new juvenile drug treatment courts (JDTC) or to strengthen existing JDTCs. Offers access to treatment and recovery services, case management, and other supports in combination with judicial supervision for youth with substance use disorder (SUDs) or co-occurring mental health disorders (CODs), including those with histories of trauma. Aims to reduce substance use and recidivism, and improve outcomes for youth involved in the justice system and their family members.

The JDTC program consists of two grant categories:

• Category 1: Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Planning and Implementation Program are grants available to jurisdictions that want to establish a juvenile drug treatment court. These grants are for jurisdictions where no juvenile drug court currently exists or a juvenile drug court has been operational for less than a year.
• Category 2: Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Enhancement Program are grants available to jurisdictions with a fully operational juvenile drug treatment court to enhance the operation of the court. Jurisdictions applying for funding under this category must have courts that have been fully operational for at least 1 year.

Category specific goals, objectives, and deliverables can be found in the funding announcement.
