Description
The Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth (TCCY) administers this grant through its Title II Federal Formula Grant program, using funds from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The program helps Tennessee meet federal juvenile justice mandates, including identifying and reducing racial and ethnic disparities.
The Racial and Ethnic Disparities grant supports programs, research, and other initiatives addressing disparities affecting minority youth who come into contact with the juvenile justice system. Projects are expected to establish baseline data, plan ongoing data collection, and identify disparity-sensitive alternatives to detention—or explain how the project will serve as a community resource if no alternatives exist.
