Description
The Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth (TCCY) administers this Title II Federal Formula Grant category with funding from the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. It supports delinquency prevention within Tennessee’s juvenile justice system. Projects serve youth under 18 and their families who have had contact with the system or are at risk of contact.
The category encompasses prevention, diversion, treatment, education, training, research, and juvenile justice system improvement. Projects must use evidence-based or model programs or promising practices and form part of a comprehensive, coordinated community system of services. TCCY gives preference to direct services for youth, work addressing racial and ethnic disparities, statewide impact, and evidence-based programming.
