Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2021 47011
The OJJDP FY 2021 Delinquency Prevention Grants Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Its central purpose is to help young people avoid becoming involved in delinquent behavior by addressing the conditions that increase the likelihood of delinquency (risk factors) and strengthening the supports that help youth thrive (protective factors). The program is framed around prevention in the places that most shape youth outcomes, including schools, neighborhoods, and family environments.
A key structural feature of this opportunity is that awards are made to states, and states that receive funding are required to pass funding down through subgrants to units of local government. In other words, the state serves as the primary grantee, but the program is designed to drive prevention work at the local level where youth-serving systems and community conditions can be directly influenced. This emphasis on subgranting also signals that local prevention strategies and partnerships are expected to be a major part of how funded activities are carried out.
The solicitation provides a specific definition of what qualifies as a "unit of local government" for subgrant purposes. This includes standard general-purpose political subdivisions such as cities, counties, townships, towns, boroughs, parishes, villages, and similar entities. It also includes certain law enforcement or judicial enforcement districts, as long as they are created under state law and have independent authority to establish a budget and impose taxes. Additionally, for eligibility purposes tied to assistance, the definition extends to law-enforcement-function agencies of the District of Columbia government and certain federal government entities operating in and for the District of Columbia or any Trust Territory of the United States. This definition clarifies the types of local governmental bodies that can ultimately receive program funds through the state-administered subgrant process.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number "O-OJJDP-2021-47011" and is categorized as a discretionary grant. The funding activity area is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the associated CFDA number is 16.548. Eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other entities as referenced in the opportunity's additional eligibility notes (the summary text indicates that further clarification may appear in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section). The posting shows the opportunity was created on December 30, 2020, with an original application closing date of February 15, 2021.
In terms of scale, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,500,000 and anticipates making about 8 awards. Overall, the program is geared toward supporting evidence-informed or otherwise structured prevention approaches that reduce youth delinquency by improving the environments and supports surrounding young people, while ensuring that funded prevention efforts are deployed at the local government level through mandatory state subgranting.Apply for O OJJDP 2021 47011
