This webinar will provide a general overview of FY25 Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) Purpose Areas (PA) 8 and 9 and will also highlight key requirements to submit an application.
CTAS provides federally recognized tribes and tribal consortia an opportunity to apply for funding to aid in developing a comprehensive and coordinated approach to public safety. Many of the Department of Justice's existing tribal government-specific programs are included in and available through this single coordinated funding opportunity.
PA #8: Youth Healing to Wellness Courts
Supported by: Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP)
PA #8 supports tribes seeking to establish a Youth Healing to Wellness Court (YHWC) or to enhance an existing YHWC. Enhancements to existing YHWCs can focus on court operations and/or the implementation of programs and the delivery of services. All grant recipients will be required to work with their OJJDP grant manager and OJJDP’s training and technical assistance provider to work through key objectives and deliverables over the course of the five-year award period.
PA #9: Tribal Youth Program
Supported by: OJJDP
PA #9 seeks to support and enhance tribal efforts to prevent and reduce juvenile delinquency and strengthen a fair and beneficial juvenile justice system response for American Indian and Alaska Native youth. The funding in this PA enables tribes to develop, expand, or strengthen approaches along the juvenile justice continuum that can range from prevention to intervention and treatment. This program helps tribes develop and sustain effective and equitable services and programs that contribute to the reduction in the number of Tribal youths involved in juvenile justice systems, create safer communities, and empower youth to lead healthy and productive lives.
