State of Wisconsin FY2020 Title II Formula Grant

The Formula Grants Program is authorized under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act. The purpose of this program is to support state and local delinquency prevention and intervention efforts and juvenile justice system improvements. Supported activities and efforts may include planning and administration, establishing, operating, coordinating, and evaluating projects directly or through grants and contracts with public and private agencies for the development of more effective education, training, research, prevention, diversion, treatment, and rehabilitation programs in the area of juvenile delinquency and programs to improve the juvenile justice system as found in section 221 of the JJDP Act. The Wisconsin Department of Justice, as the designated state agency under the JJDP Act, will use funds to enhance and improve the juvenile justice system at the state and local levels. Wisconsin’s 2018-20 three-year Title II Formula Grant Plan will provide funding to 1) address/reduce disproportionate minority contact/disparities; 2) improve the juvenile justice system; and 3) maintain compliance with the JJDP Act. A portion of funds will support a compliance monitor, a program supervisor, a juvenile justice specialist, a DMC Coordinator, a grant specialist and program support staff. NCA/NCF
