Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2021 48009
The OJJDP FY 2021 Mentoring for Youth Affected by the Opioid Crisis and Drug Addiction grant opportunity is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to support organizations that want to strengthen, broaden, or scale up mentoring services specifically aimed at children and youth whose lives have been disrupted by opioid misuse and other forms of drug addiction. In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on helping communities build mentoring supports that can improve stability, relationships, and positive development for young people facing the fallout of substance use in their families or environments.
This opportunity is issued as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) under the Law, Justice, and Legal Services funding activity area, and it is associated with CFDA number 16.726. The solicitation was created on January 15, 2021, with an original application deadline of March 2, 2021. OJJDP anticipated making approximately 17 awards, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $1,250,000 per award. Because it is a discretionary program, funding decisions are made competitively based on the priorities and requirements in the solicitation, rather than being distributed by formula.
Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details provided in the full solicitation under the section labeled "Additional Information on Eligibility." That phrasing typically signals that eligibility may extend beyond standard government entities and may include certain nonprofit organizations, community-based organizations, mentoring providers, or other qualified entities, but applicants would need to confirm the exact eligibility conditions in the official notice.
Overall, the core purpose of this grant is to enhance and expand mentoring services for youth affected by the opioid crisis and drug addiction. The emphasis is on improving access to mentoring and increasing the strength and reach of existing mentoring efforts so that more young people experiencing substance-related family or community challenges can receive consistent, supportive guidance from mentors and mentoring programs. Funding under this opportunity is intended to help organizations build capacity and deliver services that respond directly to the needs of youth impacted by opioids and addiction, aligning mentoring work with broader juvenile justice and youth well-being goals.Apply for O OJJDP 2021 48009
