Introduction & Background: Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils (JCPC) are created and funded by a state and local partnership in all 100 North Carolina counties. The Department of Justice Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice allocates funding to each county JCPC to be awarded as grants to local programs that address services for court-involved, delinquent, or at-risk youth.
Due to raise the age occurring on December 1, 2019 additional funds have been allocated to each county to support additional services.

How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: This item relates to comprehensive plan goal #10, fostering a healthy community by providing treatment and resources to support the youth within Chatham associated with Juvenile Justice.
Budgetary Impact: The Court Related Programs budget will be increased by $30,337 to match the current State allocation. No additional match funds are required.
