Community-Based Alternatives to Youth Incarceration Initiative

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. This program will fund states to close and repurpose youth correctional facilities, assess and respond to the economic impact of closures on facility staff and surrounding communities, and reinvest cost savings to expand community-based alternatives to youth incarceration.
