Arizona's FY13 Title II Formula Grant Application

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 Arizona Governor's Office for Children, Youth and Families will use grant funds to continue compliance with the core requirements of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) and support for a seamless continuum of delinquency prevention, intervention, and accountability services. To achieve these goals, the Arizona Juvenile Justice Commission plans to distribute the FY 2014 formula award across the following four program areas: deinstitutionalization of status offenders; mental health programs; juvenile justice system improvement; and disproportionate minority contact. Activities will also include compliance monitoring as well as service delivery to rural and Native American communities. NCA/NCF
