1. Each participating ~ounty will be eligible for a base award of $10,000. 2.Ail remaining funds will be prorated.to participating counties based on the county youth population between the ages of 10 and 17. A county by county b~eakdo~a is attached showing the amount of each county allo- cation based on participation by all 100 counties. Programs receiving monies (FY1978 funds) from the county allocation will be assured of a minimum of three years of funding support unless: · a. there is a substantial decrease in Federal funding to the State under the JJDP Act; or b.an applicant fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the award; or c. an applicant fails to receive a satisfactory yearly evaluation by standards set by the Juvenile Justice Planning Committee and conducted by the Division of Crime Control Staff. These funds may be used for either existing or for new programs which deal specifically with juvenile delinque~%cy and fall into the attached program descriptions. Ii%e assurance of a minimum of three years ol funding can only be given for new programs started with county allocation funds, and it cannot be e×t,~nded go counties that opt noc to participate in the first year~ Programs which were originally begun with LE~-k funds may only receive these JJDP funds for two years under existin2 federal guidelines. The state of North Carolina is presently trying to hav~ these restrictions lifted. In addition to the funds described above, North Carolina received m supple- mental award of $265,000 for FY1978. This "one time only" award will be used to continue previously LE~kA and other federally funded programs tbat can qualify according [o the criteria published in the "Federal Register" on Tuesday, October 17, 1978. That criteria is: 1. The project has been evaluated and the evaluatiom indicates tbat the project is effective and is being operated efficiently; 2.Discontinuation would have a negative impact on state or local 3uve- nile activities; and 3. The project has demonstrated a good faith effort to obtain funding elsewuere and intends to continue such efforts over the period of the Programs applying for these funds must document that they have exhausted all other sources of funding including couoty funds. I would like to empbasize that this $265,000 supplemental money will only be available for one year. A program receiving these fuads should not expect to receive funding under this category again. To.assist your county in applying for any of the above funds, the Division of Crime Control has developed an application process and helpful hints guide- line. goth of these have been attached and I would suggest that each be carefully reviewed before beginning any application work.
