JJAB recommends $586,400 in FFY22 Title II awards to six organizations
Summary
The grants subcommittee recommended $586,400 in FFY22 Title II awards to six organizations, reducing two requests by 15% and one by $50,000; the recommendations will be forwarded to DJJ leadership and then the Governor’s Office for final approval.
The Juvenile Justice Advisory Board’s Grants Subcommittee presented recommended awards under the federal FFY22 Title II grant cycle totaling $586,400 to six organizations, the board heard Aug. 15 in Frankfort. The subcommittee recommended Bookworks for $125,600 (a 15% reduction from its original request), the Northern Kentucky Children’s Law Center for $125,301 (15% reduction), Mountain Comprehensive Care for $100,000 (reduced by $50,000), and full funding at requested amounts for Men2BE ($96,640), YouthBuild ($75,000) and the Administrative Office of the Courts ($64,099).
Grants Subcommittee members described these adjustments as necessary to align awards with available funding and program priorities. The subcommittee’s recommendation was presented to the full board for record and will be forwarded to Department of Juvenile Justice leadership for review and subsequent submission to the Governor’s Office for final approval; no final award decisions were made at the meeting.
The board recorded the total recommended funding as $586,400 across the six organizations. Board members did not vote on final award approvals during the Aug. 15 meeting; the procedural next step is internal DJJ review and executive-level approval at the Governor’s Office as required by the grant process.
Board procedures at the meeting followed standard governance practice: Ashley Clark requested a correction to the prior meeting’s guest list, after which Dr. Deonte Hollowell moved to approve the minutes as amended; Angel Wilson seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The subcommittee did not present additional line-item budget breakdowns or timelines for disbursement during the meeting; those details were not specified and will be part of the DJJ leadership review and final award documents.
