Grants

The role of the JJPF/City of Omaha is to facillitate collaborations with local partners in seven key areas. They include:

1. Increase awareness of truancy and decrease its incidence through a combined effort of the schools, service providers, and law enforcement. 
2. Improve families' ability to access assessments and services prior to formal action being taken against a youth or family. 
3. Develop appropriate mental health interventions for juveniles in Douglas County.
4. Create and implement programming to support juveniles' successful re-integration with family, school, and community following formal interventions.
5. Create a juvenile justice forum to regularly meet to network, report on local programming efforts, discuss grant applications, and serve as a catalyst for the community.
6. Reduce the over-representation of minorities within the juvenile justice system. 
7. Reduce the overall incidence of youth-violence in the community.

Previous facilitated collaborations include (but are not limited to) juvenile re-entry, and truancy prevention.
