OJJDP FY25 Strategies To Support Children Exposed to Violence

The OJJDP FY25 Strategies To Support Children Exposed to Violence is a competitive discretionary grant administered directly by the Department of Justice. This initiative focuses on the Health and Human Services sector, aiming to create and enhance support services for children who have experienced violence within their homes, schools, and communities. The program specifically targets the reduction of violent crime by implementing strategies for juvenile offenders and increasing protective factors to prevent future delinquency and victimization. The primary objectives of the funding are to ensure accountability for juvenile offenders, provide comprehensive responses to child victimization, and establish preventative measures to safeguard children. While the program is currently closed and pending the next funding cycle, it serves as a critical federal effort to mitigate the incidence of violence and support the well-being of at-risk youth.
