Description
This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OJJDP FY 2026 Family Treatment Court Program. This opportunity will support state and local courts, units of local government, and federally recognized Tribal governments to establish new, or enhance existing, family treatment courts to ensure the provision of substance use treatment and other services that improve child, parent, and family outcomes. Family treatment courts serve parents who require treatment for a substance use disorder and who encounter and are engaged with the child welfare system because of child abuse, neglect, or other parenting issues. Family treatment courts provide intensive judicial monitoring and interventions to treat parents’ substance use and/or co-occurring mental health disorders.
