Applications will be available on April 4 for an anticipated $445,000 in grant funding to aid in preventing youth crime across the commonwealth.
The Title II Formula Grants Program, administered by the United States Department of Justice, supports state and local delinquency prevention and intervention efforts, and juvenile justice systems improvements. Eligible applicants include public agencies, nonprofit programs, local units of government and private not-for-profit organizations providing youth with job training, mental health and substance abuse treatment, community-based programs and services, reentry/aftercare services, and school programs to prevent truancy. Priority will be given to programs preventing justice system involvement or intervening with first-time and non-serious offenders to divert contact with the juvenile justice system.
All applications must be submitted online via Intelligrants (IG), the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet’s electronic Grants Management System.
New applicants will be required to establish an account and become familiar with the system well in advance of the due date. Applicants should also note that validating a new user account requires 48 to 72 hours.
Applications are due May 12, 2023, at 5pm EST and awards are expected to be announced in September.
Assistance with the application process may be obtained by contacting Grants Management staff at JUSGMB@ky.gov.
