There are six foundational roles created to ensure Entity Users have the authority and ability to carry out specific requirements and tasks within JustGrants. 

CrimeSolutions is a central resource to help practitioners and policymakers understand what works in justice-related programs and practices. Its purpose is to assist in practical decision making and program implementation by gathering information on justice-related programs and practices and reviewing evaluation and meta-analysis research against standard criteria.

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention’s (OJJDP’s) Model Programs Guide (MPG) contains information about evidence-based juvenile justice and youth prevention, intervention, and reentry programs.

The official website of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. 

Guidance for state juvenile detention and correctional facilities related to COVID-19.

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention created the Redline Version of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act as Amended by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act of 2018 to allow readers to quickly track the amendments to the statute. The Redline Version is divided into key sections pertinent to the work of Designated State Agencies (DSAs) and State Advisory Groups (SAGs) in their work to administer the Title II Formula Grants Program. 

This fact sheet describes the major components of the JJRA, including the effective application dates, definition of terms, annual reporting requirements, state allocations, state plan requirements, and the distribution of funds not allocated due to state noncompliance.

The purpose of this document is to assist states in monitoring and achieving compliance with the core requirements specified in the Formula Grants Program authorized under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) (34 U.S.C. §§ 11131-11133). Should anything within this document conflict with any provision of the JJDPA or its implementing regulation at 28 C.F. R. Part 31, Subpart A, the statutory and/or regulatory provision will prevail. Please note that this document describes the requirements applicable to awards made for fiscal year (FY) 2019 and previous years. This document does not apply to awards made for FY 2020 and subsequent years, as it does not incorporate amendments to the JJDPA made by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act of 2018 (Pub. L. No. 115-385), most of which take effect on October 1, 2019.

The toolkit provides examples, templates, and tools that may be used to improve current practices and, ultimately, to select and retain qualified staff. This toolkit was prepared by the Council of Juvenile Correctional Administrators (CJCA) with support from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) through the Center for Coordinated Assistance to the States (CCAS). 

The Emergency Planning for Juvenile Justice Residential Facilities is the first comprehensive planning guide to address the specific needs of children, youth, and families involved in the justice system during an emergency. By utilizing the information in this resource, facilities are encouraged to develop comprehensive emergency plans that will make a difference in the safety and well-being of children and youth in our nation’s justice system. This planning resource provides juvenile justice facilities with the tools to begin the planning process and strategies to effectively address key components of a comprehensive emergency plan including communications procedures, preparing to shelter in place and to evacuate, providing mental health services and medical care, evaluating the facility’s staffing needs, offering support to youth and their families, and many more.

On September 10, 2018, OJJDP presented "FY 2019 Title II Formula Program Solicitation." OJJDP’s State Relations and Assistance Division provided an overview of changes and requirements for the FY 2019 Title II Formula Program Solicitation. OJJDP provided an opportunity for state applicants, responsible for submitting their Title II State Plan, to ask questions about the new solicitation requirements.   Materials Solicitation - https://www.ojjdp.gov/grants/solicitations/FY2019/TitleII.pdf FAQ - https://www.ojjdp.gov/grants/solicitations/FY2019/FAQ/TitleII.pdf

This resource is designed to help agencies, organizations, and stakeholders improve services, programs, and outcomes for youth involved in the juvenile justice system. This toolkit was prepared by the Council of Juvenile Correctional Administrators and was based on recommendations shared at the 2015 CJCA Leadership Institute that included OJJDP’s address on positive youth development.
