COMMISSION ON CRIME AND DELINQUENCY

Availability of Federal Challenge Grant Funds

[26 Pa.B. 6192]

   The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) announces the availability of approximately $1.159 million in Federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Challenge Grant funds to establish a 24-bed secure care residential program for serious and habitual juvenile offenders to be located in Southeast Pennsylvania. These funds can be applied to facility renovations, furnishings and equipment, salaries and related start-up expenses subject to allowable cost limitations. Funds will be awarded on a match-free basis, with the exception of renovations involving construction. Federal regulations require a 50% match by the applicant for construction and prohibit the use of these funds for the purchase of land.

   Funds will be awarded for a 12-month project period under a competitive review process according to the review criteria, requirements and conditions outlined in the official funding announcement.

   This funding initiative is a joint venture involving PCCD and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Wel- fare/Office of Children, Youth and Families, the agency responsible for the provision of continuation funding.

   Eligible applicants include private nonprofit established adolescent care providers experienced in the care and treatment of serious and habitual juvenile offenders. Agencies interested in applying must submit a letter of intent by close of business on Friday, January 17, 1997. Applicants will be required to attend an applicant's conference to be held in the Harrisburg area in late January or early February 1997. The submission deadline date for proposals is close of business on Friday, March 7, 1997, with the final funding awards expected to be made by April 30, 1997.

   To request a copy of the official funding announcement which provides proposal submission requirements, prospective applicants should contact Ruth Williams at Extension 3084 at either (717) 787-8559 or toll-free (800) 692-7292.
