OJJDP FY25 Expanding Youth Access to Community-Based Treatment

The Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention is seeking grant applications to expand access to community-based treatment for justice-involved youth under 18 with substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health and substance use needs. The program supports community-based treatment services intended to improve outcomes and reduce further formal justice system involvement. Applicants should address treatment access for youth with SUD and MHSUD needs, and the opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching. Applications are due May 4, 2026, with up to $600,000 available per award, approximately $6 million total program funding, an expected 10 awards, and questions may be directed to OJP.ResponseCenter@usdoj.gov.
