Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 6, March 26, 2024
The allowable uses for grant fund money are those set forth in the Juvenile Continuum Act, Laws 2007, Chapter 351. Grant fund money may be used to provide:
A. Cost effective services for juveniles who are at risk of referral from a required partner to the department's juvenile probation and parole. These are services that have previously been demonstrated through research or evaluation to be effective at preventing or intervening in the targeted behaviors or that lead to the desired change in targeted behaviors. Targeted behaviors are those which prompted the juvenile's referral to the service, or that are effective in diverting the juvenile from involvement with the juvenile justice system. Applicants may be requested to provide proof of cost-effectiveness in their funding proposals.
B. Temporary, nonsecure alternatives to detention for juveniles who have been arrested, or who have been referred to the department's juvenile probation and parole offices. Temporary nonsecure alternatives to detention are programs or services that provide an alternative to placement in a secure juvenile detention facility as authorized in the Delinquency Act. Examples are a licensed foster home, a nonsecure shelter facility, or the child's place of residence under conditions and restrictions approved by the court.
