Minnesota 2013 Title II Initiative
Note:
This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
The Formula Grants Program is authorized under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act of 1974, as amended. The purpose of this program is to support state and local delinquency prevention and intervention efforts and juvenile justice system improvements through a range of administration, compliance and program activities including those that address juvenile justice issues for Native American Indian tribes.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) will use FY 14 Formula funds to address various aspects of juvenile justice in the state. DPS will support compliance monitoring, Native American programs and delinquency prevention strategies. Proposed activities include: programs to support healthy choices for Latina girls, joint assessments and case planning for crossover youth and community service projects to encourage healthy decision making skills for inner city youth.
DPS is committed to supporting best practices in prevention programming and will continue to engage and educate other Minnesota policymakers on best practices within juvenile justice. DPS, through the Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee, will continue its efforts to accurately report on compliance with the JJDP Act's four core requirements and to educate those juvenile justice agencies with responsibility for prevention and intervention strategies for at-risk youth as well as those involved in the juvenile justice system.
