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.

DJJ aims to direct funding resources to provide electronic monitoring and out-of-home placements for status and low-level youth offenders. DMC funds will support local DMC site coordination and implementation, the statewide DMC assessment, public awareness and the DMC subcommittee. NCA/NCF
