Specifically, the state will invest in comprehensive delinquency prevention programs through multi-system collaboration. It will also support culturally specific community-based programs and services to work with youth and their families. At the local level, the funding will help counties identify and address potential racial and ethnic disparities in the juvenile justice system. Alternatives to detention and placement will be developed through support for local continuum of custody planning. All proposed projects must adhere to positive youth development principles and demonstrate efforts to ensure equity in services and impact.
