 Title:                Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act Grant (VJCCCA) -
                       $452,704


Background:

In July 2010, the City of Charlottesville became the fiscal agent for the Virginia Juvenile Community
Crime Control Act (VJCCCA) funds for both Charlottesville and Albemarle County. This funding
stream was established by the 1995 Virginia General Assembly to create balanced, community-based
systems of sanctions, programs and services for juvenile offenders. These funds are used to support
the Community Attention programs. In Fiscal Year 2022, $292,058 in VJCCCA funds will be
received from the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice with a required local maintenance of effort
of $52,231 from Albemarle County, and $108,415 from the City for a total of $452,704. The grant
period is from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022.


Discussion:

The VJCCCA grant funds the delinquency prevention and youth development services provided by
Community Attention for Charlottesville/Albemarle youth involved in the juvenile justice system.
These services include the following programs: the Teens GIVE service learning program that
provides community service opportunities during both the school year and the summer; the
Community Supervision Program that provides pro-social skills training like anger management,
individual and group counseling services and case management services for youth on electronic
monitoring; the Community Attention Youth Internship Program (CAYIP) which provides paid
internship opportunities; the Family Based Intervention Program which provides evidence-based, and
family centered intervention programs.


Alignment with City Council’s Vision and Strategic Plan:

The VJCCCA grant aligns with the City of Charlottesville's Strategic Plan - Goal 2: A Healthy
and Safe City Objective 2.3: Improve community health and safety outcomes by connecting
residents with effective resources.
Community Attention’s VJCCCA funded programs provide community based services that prevent
delinquency and promote the healthy development of youth. Expected outcomes include decreased
delinquent behavior during and after program participation.


Community Engagement:

The VJCCCA funded programs engage local youth involved in the juvenile justice system and
their families by providing delinquency prevention and youth development programs. The
programs also engage and coordinate with other local agencies and organizations in the provision
of services to the youth.


Budgetary Impact:

The funds will be expensed and reimbursed to the VJCCCA Fund. The required General Fund
City contribution has already been appropriated as part of the Fiscal Year 2022 Council Adopted
Budget so no new funds are required to cover the match.


Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval and appropriation of funds.


Alternatives:

If the VJCCCA funds are not appropriated, Community Attention would have to serve fewer
youth and eliminate programs and staff.
