The Board is requested to receive and approve the Durham County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council’s (JCPC) local funding plan recommendation for FY 2025-2026. At their scheduled meeting on April 23, 2025, with a quorum present, the JCPC members voted to recommend the attached local funding plan for the allocation of $701,101 in state funding from the NC Department of Public Safety.
The funds are anticipated to be included in the State of North Carolina FY 2025-2026 budget and allocated to Durham County through the NC Department of Public Safety, Division of Juvenile Justice, based on a formula related to county size and youth population. The funding is only available for programs serving youth who are delinquent, undisciplined or at risk of court involvement. Programs are required to offer treatment, rehabilitation and/or educational enrichment as prioritized in the publicly advertised Request for Proposals (RFP). This year, JCPC received applications totaling $1,053,212.
The Durham County JCPC conducted the funding allocation process in accordance with the relevant North Carolina General Statutes and the Division of Juvenile Justice’s procedures and guidelines. Council members were assisted in the process by JCPC Area Consultant Walter Crews.
