The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) announced its Family Treatment Court Discretionary Program Solicitation for FY 2023. OJJDP seeks to build the capacity of states, state and local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized Tribal governments to establish new family treatment courts or enhance existing family treatment courts. These courts increase collaboration with substance use treatment providers and child welfare systems to ensure the provision of treatment and other support services for families and to improve child, parent, and family outcomes. About the Program OJJDP expects family treatment court applicants to provide services that address the needs of the entire family, including direct services to children of parents served in this program. Proposals must specifically include the provision of treatment, recovery, and other support services that address opioid, stimulant, and other substance use. Successful applicants must propose an evaluation plan to monitor program performance and build overall capacity. Applicants must specify plans for obtaining necessary support and continuing the proposed program following the conclusion of the grant period. OJJDP encourages applicants to follow the Family Treatment Court Best Practice Standards.
