MA FY24 Title II Formula Grants Program

The primary purpose of the Formula Grant Program is to ensure the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’s compliance with the core requirements of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDP Act) and to address other priorities of the Act. The Title II Formula Grants Program strives to effectively serve the needs of at-risk and system-involved juveniles in accordance with the delineated “program areas” of the JJDP Act. Funds from the Formula Grant Program are dedicated to compliance activities, State Advisory Group (SAG) activities, and Formula Grant- related sub-awards. Salaries for the Commonwealth’s Juvenile Justice Specialist/Compliance Monitor and DMC Reduction Specialist are provided by the Formula Grant.
