OJJDP FY09 Title V Community Prevention Grants Program

This program intends to reduce risks and enhance protective factors to prevent at-risk youth from entering the juvenile justice systems and to intervene with first-time and non-serious offenders to keep them out of the juvenile justice system.

The Department of Health and Social Services is the designated State agency to receive Title V funds in the State of Alaska. The Department anticipates awarding 2 sub-grants for State fiscal year 2010, with the expectation of some level of renewal funding for up to 36 months. DJJ is committed to giving priority in funding to evidence-based programs and activities and, to that end, all RFPs issued, express the need for the support and use of model programs.
