State of Colorado Title II Formula Grant Program
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 Colorado Division of Juvenile justice will use FY14 formula funds to support juvenile justice system improvement (JJSI), Native American programming, disproportionate minority contact (DMC), and compliance monitoring. For JJSI, the goal is to prevent low risk, high need youth from entering or further penetrating the juvenile justice system through system improvement efforts, promotion of evidence-based principles in children, youth and family services, and professional education and development for agency staff. With the assistance of the Executive Secretary of the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs, the Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Council will work closely with the Ute Mountain and Southern Ute Indian Tribes to address their juvenile justice needs. DMC and compliance monitoring will continue as priorities supported through the Coalition for Minority Youth Equality's activities and Colorado's compliance monitoring process. NCA/NCF
