Goals

OJJDP envisions that the training and technical assistance (TTA) provider will assist OJJDP-funded new and existing family-based alternative justice programs that propose enhancements with individualized goals of building and maximizing local capacity around effectively identifying and assessing eligible participants; ensuring participants receive targeted research-based services; implementing consistent, efficient, and effective case planning, monitoring, and supervision procedures; enhancing the provision of treatment and support services; and assisting in collecting and reporting on performance measures to identify and assess success, gaps, and trends in case processing and service delivery.

- The objectives are to develop and implement family-based interventions with a parent and youth component that support and serve justice-involved parents/caregivers and their children, expand the understanding of the scope and impact of parental/caregiver incarceration, and test the efficacy of these interventions and models in mitigating the harmful impacts of incarceration on children and their families to begin to develop promising practices.
- Category 2: Family-Based Alternative Justice Training and Technical Assistance
- The overall objective of Category 2 is to provide family-based alternative sentencing program practitioners with TTA that will develop, maintain, and enhance their program.
