JJAB to review 16 FFY22 Title II grant applications requesting $1.84M; about $500K available
Summary
Sixteen applicants requested $1,841,134 in FFY22 Title II grants; JJAB and DJJ review teams will complete scoring by July 7, with JJAB meeting July 9 to recommend awards from approximately $500,000 available.
The Juvenile Justice Advisory Board was briefed June 20 that 16 applicants requested a combined $1,841,134 under the FFY22 Title II grant cycle, while roughly $500,000 is available for awards.
DJJ staff said there are two review tracks: an internal DJJ review team (community, financial, and aftercare/reentry staff) and a JJAB reviewer team. Reviews were scheduled to finish by July 7, followed by a risk assessment; JJAB planned to convene July 9 to finalize recommendations to the board. The meeting record noted that some applicants are repeat grantees and that there is no cap on how many years a program may receive funding.
Why it matters: Title II grants fund programs aimed at delinquency prevention and juvenile justice improvement; the awards committee’s recommendations will determine which local programs receive the limited federal funds.
What’s next: The grants review committee will meet July 9 to determine recommendations for the board. The meeting record did not include applicant names or final award decisions; those details will follow the review and risk-assessment process.
Ending: No awards were made at the June 20 meeting; the grants committee’s upcoming meetings will determine final recommendations.
