THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Juvenile Justice, Juvenile Defense, System-Involved Youth, Foster Care,
Deadline: Jan. 19, 2021
“The Enhancing Juvenile Indigent Defense program will support states and localities in developing and implementing strategies to improve juvenile indigent defense. Program objectives are to ensure that youth involved with the juvenile justice system have access to legal representation and access to resources that address the collateral consequences of justice system involvement.
Deliverables include assessments of the juvenile defense delivery system to identify service gaps and needs and the implementation of recommendations to address those gaps and needs; development and implementation of a training program for juvenile defenders (public and appointed) in line with national standards; and improved capacity among juvenile justice personnel and systems resulting in the effective collection, analysis, and reporting of procedural justice data, and an increase in data-driven decisionmaking.
In FY 2021, in addition to executing any program-specific prioritization that may be applicable, OJP will give priority consideration to applications as follows:
- Applications that address specific challenges that rural communities face.
- Applications that demonstrate that the individuals who are intended to benefit from the requested grant reside in high-poverty areas or persistent-poverty counties.
- Applications that offer enhancements to public safety in economically distressed communities (Qualified Opportunity Zones).”
