OJJDP FY13 Title II Formula Grants Program

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.

Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), will utilize FY 14 Title II funds to maintain compliance with the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act core requirements. Specifically, the State will continue to collect complete and accurate data on juvenile holds from all facilities through regular on-site monitoring, enhance law enforcement training, expand alternatives to secure detention, address disproportionate minority youth contact with the justice system, and utilize Native American pass-through funding to improve access by Alaskan Native youth to community-based delinquency intervention services.
