The OJJDP FY 2021 Strategies To Support Children Exposed to Violence grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: O-OJJDP-2021-47013) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to help communities build, strengthen, and deliver coordinated support services for children who have been exposed to violence. In practical terms, the program focuses on improving local capacity to respond to children and youth affected by violence in their homes, schools, neighborhoods, or other settings, with the goal of reducing harm, promoting healing and resilience, and connecting young people and families to appropriate services.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to play a more active role than it would under a standard grant. Applicants should typically anticipate coordination and ongoing involvement from OJJDP during the life of the award, such as collaboration on program implementation, reporting, and adherence to federal priorities or evidence-informed practices within the project design. The funding activity category is Law, Justice, and Legal Services, and the program is associated with CFDA number 16.818.
The solicitation anticipated making around 8 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $1,000,000 per award. The opportunity was created on January 19, 2021, and had an original application closing date of March 8, 2021. While the summary description is brief, the intent is clear: support community-based strategies that directly address the needs of children exposed to violence by developing or expanding services and systems that identify impacted children, deliver trauma-informed interventions, and improve collaboration among the agencies and organizations that touch their lives.
Eligibility for this opportunity is broad, reflecting the reality that effective support for children exposed to violence often requires cross-system partnerships. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations (including those not federally recognized as governments); and nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (so long as they are not institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an "Others" category, with the expectation that additional eligibility details would be clarified in the full solicitation under the section referenced as "Additional Information on Eligibility." Overall, this structure encourages a wide range of community leaders and service providers such as schools, youth-serving nonprofits, tribal entities, local governments, and universities to serve as applicants, typically by convening partnerships and building a coordinated local response.
At a high level, the opportunity supports locally driven, community-based programming and service delivery aimed at children exposed to violence. Communities seeking funds would generally be expected to propose a coherent strategy for developing support services, strengthening referral pathways, and ensuring children and families can access effective, appropriate, and trauma-informed assistance. The program sits within OJJDP's broader mission to improve outcomes for children and youth and to help communities prevent delinquency and victimization by addressing underlying trauma and risk factors that can follow exposure to violence.Apply for O OJJDP 2021 47013
