This will be a continuation of the efforts to assist juvenile justice programs throughout the State of Washington.

The JABG Program for the State of Washington is administered by the Washington Department of Social and Health Services, Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration (JRA). As required, Washington retains 25% of JABG funds at the state level and passes through 75% to counties, cities, and one Native American Tribe. In the community, JABG funds are used for a wide variety of programs, including: evidenced based programs, drug courts, restorative justice, accountability based programs, prosecutors, probation officers, technology, detention reform, and risk assessment. A majority of the State retained portion of the JABG funds will support a client activity tracking system by establishing electronic data sharing relationships with both providers and receivers of juvenile offender data.
