Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2023 171833
The OJJDP FY 2023 Invited to Apply - Community-Based Alternatives to Youth Incarceration Training and Technical Assistance opportunity is a Department of Justice grant designed to help jurisdictions move away from youth incarceration by strengthening community-based approaches. Through the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) and its Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), the federal government is investing in training and technical assistance that supports local leaders and stakeholders as they plan, in a structured and community-driven way, how to reduce reliance on youth detention. A central focus is helping jurisdictions conduct consultation and justice reinvestment planning that can lead to closing youth detention facilities and re-purposing them for more constructive community needs, rather than continuing to fund or expand confinement-based systems.
This opportunity sits within OJP's broader policy priorities, which emphasize civil rights and racial equity, improved access to justice, support for crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, stronger community safety strategies, and increased public trust in justice institutions. In practice, that means the training and technical assistance supported by this award is meant to help communities make decisions that are not only operationally feasible, but also equitable and responsive to longstanding disparities in youth justice. The grant is framed around helping jurisdictions do the hard work of planning and implementation: building local consensus, using data to guide decisions, and redirecting resources toward services and supports that keep young people safely in their homes and communities.
Administratively, this is a continuation opportunity with funding provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the awarding agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond a standard grant relationship. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and it is associated with CFDA number 16.827. The solicitation indicates an award ceiling of $1,500,000, with one expected award, signaling that OJJDP anticipated funding a single organization or entity to deliver this training and technical assistance effort at the national or multi-jurisdiction level. The opportunity was created on July 12, 2023, with an original closing date of July 20, 2023, reflecting a short application window typical of invited or limited-competition solicitations.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional clarification typically provided in the solicitation's eligibility section. That labeling often indicates that eligibility may be restricted (for example, to an invited applicant or a specific type of organization) or that it includes categories outside the usual government-only or nonprofit-only boxes. The solicitation title itself includes "Invited to Apply," which commonly indicates that OJJDP was limiting applications to an identified organization or a narrow pool of applicants with an established role or demonstrated capacity to provide specialized training and technical assistance in juvenile justice system transformation.
The legal authority for the funding is the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328, 136 Stat. 4459, 4537). That statutory reference is the formal basis for DOJ to make awards under this program in the FY 2023 funding cycle. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted federal investment in the practical support jurisdictions need to plan and execute a shift away from youth detention toward sustainable, community-based alternatives, while aligning that work with equity, rights protections, and community trust goals.Apply for O OJJDP 2023 171833
