Juvenile Justice Incentive Grant Program | Criminal Justice Coordinating Council Agency Wide Processing Delays Click here for more information. In 2011, the Special Council on Criminal Justice Reform was created to study Georgia’s criminal justice system and was charged by former Governor Nathan Deal with recommending policy changes. On December 18, 2012, the Council released their final report to the Governor.
Per the recommendations of the report and in keeping with former Governor Deal’s goal of increasing public safety through a more effective juvenile system, during the 2013 legislative session, former Governor Deal signed into law House Bill 242, landmark legislation that will improve Georgia’s juvenile justice system through innovative practices and methods proven to yield positive results.
At that time, former Governor Deal and the Georgia General Assembly appropriated $5 million to the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) for the purpose of creating effective community programs to serve youth who are currently being committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice and/or sent to Short-Term Programs as a sanction.
This is known as the Juvenile Justice Incentive Grant (JJIG) Program and in State Fiscal Year 2014, $7. 62 million was appropriated for the program. CJCC administers the JJIG, which is a statewide competitive grant program.
The program continues to provide funding and technical support for juvenile courts to deliver evidence-based treatment programming for juvenile offenders in their home communities. The JJIG funding aims to develop and sustain programs that address the needs of youth who are typically committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ).
During the first year of funding, a total of 1,122 youth were served through community based services, and by the fifth year, a total of 1,3905 youth were served through community based services. CJCC is committed to keeping former Governor Deal’s goal by continuing the funding of evidenced-based programming for youth in the community. The final report for the seventh year of funding is available below.

The PDRA was adopted for use in Georgia in 2014 and is designed to measure a child’s risk of recidivating. The assessment criterion reflects JJIG’s focus on delinquent youth who may face out-of-home placement. The treatment programs have been deemed “promising” and “effective” at addressing juvenile criminal behavior by crimesolutions.

JJIG include Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Thinking for a Change (T4C), Aggression Replacement Training (ART), Multisystemic Therapy (MST), Seven Challenges (7C), and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). National research findings indicate two primary drivers of program effectiveness in reducing juvenile recidivism: delinquency risk and implementation quality.
Programs that prioritize services for higher-risk youth and maintain better implementation quality, including fidelity to a given program model, yield the best outcomes. Model fidelity is founded in the Fidelity Principle of the Eight Principles of Effective Intervention as outlined by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) and the Crime and Justice Institute (CJI).
While a program may be ‘evidence-based,’ the outcomes are most effective when the program adheres to model fidelity, or adheres to the curriculum as designed by the developers. To ensure model fidelity, there should be proper training and ongoing support for staff.
Per the expertise of associates from CJI, fidelity to program model integrity includes three parts, including: (1) training of staff, (2) supervision and coaching of staff, and (3) adherence to Principles of Effective Intervention.
Research on adhering to model fidelity demonstrates reductions in recidivism can be realized when the program is implemented as designed; however, when there are deviations from the model, recidivism reductions are not often achieved and in some instances recidivism rates have even increased (Washington State Institute of Public Policy, 2004, 2010).
CJCC is committed to assisting Juvenile Justice Incentive Grantees with the implementation of evidence-based programs through coaching and feedback on model fidelity and general programmatic operations.

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
