The Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention awarded the South Carolina Department of Public Safety $587,426 under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Title II Formula Grants Program on July 1, 2026.

The South Carolina Department of Public Safety will use the funding to assist state agencies, units of local government, tribal jurisdictions, and private nonprofit agencies in implementing innovative delinquency programs. The state will provide technical support and training to sub-grantees, the state advisory group, and law enforcement agencies on topics and issues involving the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act. The state will continue monitoring state and local institutions for compliance, prioritize former areas of non-compliance, advance community-based alternatives to detention, support deinstitutionalization of status offenders, and reduce disparities among youth involved in the system.

Performance runs through June 30, 2030, with work based in Blythewood, South Carolina. The Title II Formula Grants Program supports state and local efforts to plan, establish, operate, coordinate, and evaluate policies and projects for the development of more effective education, training, prevention, diversion, treatment, and rehabilitation services, as well as compliance with core requirements and overall juvenile justice system improvement efforts.
