Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2023 171841
The OJJDP FY 2023 Invited to Apply - Louisiana Juvenile Justice Reform Act Implementation Commission/Southern University Law Center (SULC) opportunity is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal government expects to have an active partnership role in the work rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal involvement. The overall purpose aligns with broader Office of Justice Programs (OJP) priorities, including advancing civil rights and racial equity, improving access to justice, supporting victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, and building trust between communities and the justice system.
This particular award is designed to fund Southern University Law Center to support the Louisiana Juvenile Justice Reform Act Implementation Commission (JJRAIC). The focus is on helping the Commission drive meaningful improvements in Louisiana's juvenile justice system, with a clear emphasis on protecting young people from physical and emotional harm while they are involved with child welfare and juvenile justice agencies. In practice, the project aims to reduce safety risks to youth during agency contact, encourage more effective and humane system responses, and push the state toward practices that are more developmentally appropriate for young people.
A second major goal is capacity-building for the JJRAIC itself. The funding is intended to strengthen the Commission and its members so they can better carry out their responsibilities under Louisiana's juvenile justice reform framework. The Commission's mission, as reflected in the solicitation, is to help ensure youth can be served in their communities whenever possible, rather than being removed and placed in secure settings. When secure custody is necessary, the solicitation stresses that placements should be safe, equitable, and restorative, signaling attention to conditions of confinement, fair treatment across race and geography, and approaches that prioritize rehabilitation and accountability over punishment.
Administratively, this opportunity was created on July 27, 2023, with an original closing date of August 2, 2023, indicating a short application window consistent with an "invited to apply" notice. Only one award is expected, with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $250,000. The listing falls under CFDA 16.548 and the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification typically provided in the full eligibility text, but the substance of the notice makes clear it is targeted to Southern University Law Center as the intended applicant. The statutory authority cited is Public Law 116-260 (134 Stat. 1182, 1261), which provides the legal basis for OJJDP to make this award.Apply for O OJJDP 2023 171841
