FY 2015 Funding Opportunities

   

Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program

   

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice     Programs (OJP) is seeking applications from eligible entities to plan and     implement place-based, community-oriented strategies to address targeted     crime issues within a neighborhood as a part of a broader neighborhood     revitalization initiative. Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI)     resources will target hot spots of crime where a significant proportion of     crime occurs as compared to the overall jurisdiction. BCJI furthers the     Department's mission by leading efforts to enhance the capacity of local     and tribal communities to effectively target and address significant crime     issues through collaborative cross-sector approaches that help advance     broader neighborhood development goals.

   

Application Deadline: April 21, 2015

Face Forward 3-Intermediary and Community Grants

   

The Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training     Administration (ETA) plans to award four intermediary organization grants     of $5 million each and approximately 10 community organization grants of up     to $1,050,000 million each, totaling approximately $30,500,000 million, to     provide services to youth between the ages of 14 to 24 that have been     involved in the Juvenile Justice System and never convicted in the adult     criminal system.

   

The goal of the Face Forward program aligns closely with     President Obama's "My     Brother's Keeper" initiative which seeks to close opportunity gaps     still faced by too many young people and often by boys and young men of     color.
    Grantees are expected to provide a range of services that include case     management, mentoring, education and training services. Funded programs     will also help to eliminate the stigma of a juvenile record by offering     services to seal juvenile records and providing opportunities to handle     delinquency complaints outside of the juvenile justice system.

   

Application Deadline: April 23, 2015

   

The     Face Forward Funding Opportunity Announcement is available here.
