Overview: Title II funds authorized under the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act are allocated to each state. They are to be awarded and monitored by a state advisory group, which in Minnesota is the Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee (JJAC). The target population is youth under the age of 18 (and their families), who have had contact with the juvenile justice system or who are at risk of having contact with the juvenile justice system. The goal is to prevent or divert youth involvement in the juvenile justice system and to eliminate or minimize ethnic and racial disparities.
Allowable activities include:
- Strategies to reduce ethnic and racial disparities.
- Coordinated community services that support at risk youth and families.
- Services specifically designed for target populations such as youth of color, young women, homeless youth and children who are at risk of offending.
- Services that target youth whose present behavior places them at risk of future delinquent activity
Native American Pass-Through Funds
Under the OJJDP formula, JJAC allocates the Native American Pass Through funding which is based on the population of Native Americans within the state. Tribes with a police department are eligible.
