Juvenile Crime Prevention Council Seeks Applicants for NC Division of Juvenile Justice Funding

Durham, NC -The Durham County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) is now accepting proposals for juvenile crime intervention/prevention programs to be funded by North Carolina Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) funds for the State Fiscal Year 2020-2021. These funds, in the amount of $701,101, are allocated to Durham County to support community programs serving delinquent and at-risk youth, between the ages of 7 and 17, for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020.

The DJJ priority for the use of these State funds is to support community-based programs that strengthen and expand needed juvenile court sanctions and treatment services. Programs requesting funding must address identified "Risk Factors" and should provide treatment, rehabilitation, and/or academic enhancement as prioritized by the Durham County JCPC as described in the "Request for Proposals" (RFP) found on the Durham County Criminal Justice Resource Center website.<http://dconc.gov/government/departments-a-e/criminal-justice-resource-center/jcpc-request-for-proposals-copy>

Applicants needing additional assistance with the application process can view self-help videos on the webpage by clicking on the help tab.

The deadline to submit proposals for juvenile crime intervention/prevention programs to be funded by DJJ is March 31. To properly pursue funding, applicants must attend a Mandatory Funding Application Training on Thursday, March 10, from 1-2:30 p.m., at the Durham County Criminal Justice Resource Center, 326 East Main Street, Durham, North Carolina, 27701.
