This funding opportunity seeks to assist three states in immediately addressing the current crises in youth violence that are impacting their juvenile justice systems. In addition to funding, OJJDP will directly provide TTA to each state with a focus on responding to the concerns regarding youth that are at risk of and engaged in violence. The long-term goal of this effort is to support sustainable, research-based, and data-informed delinquency prevention, practices, and programming, as these are efforts that provide the best outcomes for our nation’s youth.
