Agency Notice of Funding Opportunity:
This NOFO will support state and local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized Tribal governments to establish new, enhance existing, or implement statewide or countywide family treatment courts to ensure the provision of substance use treatment and other services that improve child, parent, and family outcomes. Family treatment court grantees will provide services that address the entire family’s needs, including direct services to children of parents served in this program. Applicant proposals must specifically include the provision of treatment, recovery, and other support services that address opioid, stimulant, and other substance use reduction.
Additional Notes:
Category 1: Establishing New Family Treatment Courts (Anticipated Award Amount: $750,000) Category 1 will support the implementation of new family treatment courts to provide parental Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment services, including screening, assessment, case management, recovery support services, and program coordination to family treatment court participants.
Category 2: Enhancing Family Treatment Courts (Anticipated Award Amount: $850,000) Category 2 will support the expansion of parental SUD treatment services in existing family treatment courts.
Category 3: Statewide or Countywide Family Treatment Courts Expansion (Anticipated Award Amount: $2,000,000) Category 3 will support the enhancement and/or expansion of family treatment courts at the state, county, or other jurisdictional level to effectively serve families affected by opioid, stimulant, and other SUDs. States and counties will increase access to and/or availability of SUD treatment and recovery services across their state or county and develop and implement practices and policies that strengthen existing family treatment courts, child welfare, SUD treatment service systems, and community-based organizations that serve and support children and families. This will be achieved through strengthened cross-systems collaboration; expansion of family treatment court practices into the larger state or county child welfare, SUD treatment, and court systems; and increasing the scale and scope of services provided by family treatment courts across the state or county.
