About this program
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs administers the Juvenile Accountability Block Grants program (CFDA 16.523) to fund states, units of local government, and Indian Tribes developing programs that strengthen accountability in the juvenile justice system across 18 program areas, with the most recent grant award dated March 16, 2014.
This program is not currently active. The most recent award occurred over twelve years ago, and the award cadence has flatlined since fiscal year 2013. Between 2010 and 2013, the program averaged approximately 58 awards per year; in 2014, only four awards were issued before activity ceased entirely. No recent grant opportunities have been posted.
Awarded grants have funded statewide and local juvenile justice initiatives including alternatives to detention, community-based accountability programming, juvenile drug court operations, and evaluation of school-justice system interventions. Recent awards to states such as Florida ($816,930), Georgia ($538,815 and related awards), Michigan ($509,121), and North Carolina ($469,845) supported these accountability-focused efforts.
The program has obligated $953.3 million in federal dollars across 910 total awards since 1997. The funding mix is evenly split between Formula Grants (452 awards, 50 percent) and Project Grants (451 awards, 50 percent), with a small allocation to Cooperative Agreements (6 awards, 1 percent) and one Block Grant. Recipients contributed an additional $300 million in non-federal matching funds, bringing total obligation to $1.25 billion. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs provided 881 awards totaling $934.5 million; the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention issued 23 awards for $15.4 million. Typical award magnitudes for Formula Grants ranged from several hundred thousand dollars to approximately $1.76 million; Project Grants ranged similarly, from under $100,000 to approximately $857,000.
Pursuit of this program is not recommended absent evidence of program revival. No solicitation has been announced, and no new funding authority appears to have been allocated since fiscal year 2013.
