FY 2013 Title II Formula Grant
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 Ohio Department of Youth Services (DYS) will use FY 2014 Title II funds to improve the administration of juvenile justice statewide in the areas of DMC and compliance. DYS will continue to fund DMC assessments, new DMC programs and services and facilitate activities with law enforcement agencies to increase awareness of disparity and foster appropriate handling of juveniles. DYS will also encourage agencies to increase the capacity to collect data so that DYS can provide quality arrest data by race for both DMC and compliance. Short term outcomes include reducing arrests, reducing the number of status offenders held in secure detention, and reducing the number of youth held in adult jails and lockups. Targeted long term outcomes are to increase compliance with the core requirements and DMC, and have a positive impact on youth. NCA/NCF
