Description
The Title II Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Formula Grant is administered by the Arizona Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family (GOYFF), with federal authorization from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. It supports programs addressing significant challenges faced by youth, families, and professionals within the juvenile justice system, including prevention and educational programming in Arizona communities.
GOYFF works with the Arizona Juvenile Justice Commission (AJJC) to select priority purpose areas for each competitive solicitation. These priorities reflect state needs and can change between grant cycles. The program operates alongside Arizona’s efforts to uphold the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act’s core requirements, monitor juvenile detention practices, and reduce racial and ethnic disparities in the juvenile justice system.
