Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve the Durham County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) FY 2024-2025 funding plan. Durham County JCPC operates on a two-year funding cycle. At their scheduled meeting on April 24, 2024, with a quorum present, the JCPC Executive Committee voted to recommend the attached county funding plan for the allocation of the $701,101 in state funding and $105,300 in county funding to the Durham County Board of County Commissioners for final approval.
These funds are anticipated to be included in the State of North Carolina’s FY 2024-2025 budget and allocated to Durham County by the Department of Public Safety Division of Juvenile Justice based on a formula. The funding is available only for programs serving youth who are delinquent, undisciplined, or at risk of court involvement and is restricted to services providing intermediate and community sanctions to the courts. Programs are required to offer treatment, rehabilitation and/or educational enrichment as prioritized in the publicly advertised Request for Proposals (RFP). The attached funding plan includes second year funding for eight existing programs and new components for seven of the eight programs.
