What the grant funds

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OJJDP FY 2026 Expanding Youth Access to Community-Based Treatment program. This opportunity will fund community-based treatment programs serving youth with substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (MHSUD). Selected community-based programs will develop or expand cross-system approaches to improve responses and outcomes for youth with SUDs and MHSUDs who are at risk of or have already been in the juvenile justice system by increasing access to community-based treatment, as appropriate, to address their substance use and mental health needs to prevent reoffending and recidivism.
