FY 2016 Appropriation

CCJJ administered the Gang Reduction Grant to address gang issues throughout the State. Emphasis was given to reducing gang related crime through community programs. Gang reduction efforts focused on early intervention programming for high-risk, gang involved youth. CCJJ and the Legislature decided to no longer fund this program due to budget constraints. The budget set aside for the Gang Reduction Grant was returned to bolster the lagging Crime Victim Reparations fund.

Funding History

Appropriation Overview

During the 2015 General Session, the Legislature appropriated for Fiscal Year 2016, $0 from all sources for Gang Reduction Grant Program. This is a 0 percent change from Fiscal Year 2015 revised estimated amounts from all sources.

In FY 2014, two projects received a final year of funding--in the amount of $78,086--in an effort to make a positive impact on the selected community. Both projects were related to the Ogden Weber Community Action Partnership: Community Involvement, Reentry, Opportunities, Social, Suppression (CROSS).

Project Continuation: Juvenile Court, Juvenile Justice Services and the Ogden School District referred high risk youth involved in gang activity, ages 14-18. A steering committee of community organizations oversaw the interventions provided. CROSS utilized an evidence-based model, Risk Need Responsivity (RNR), to develop individualized case management plans. Aggression Replacement Training (ART) and/or Cognitive Behavioral Training (CBT) were provided as core curriculum. CROSS partnered with community agencies to address pro-social involvement, academic achievement, career readiness, and family involvement.

Project Assessment: CROSS was required to submit quarterly progress reports and financial status reports as well as a final report upon program completion. Staff members visited the program annually to review program files and examine financial documentation. In addition, the University of Utah Criminal Justice Center provided a process to assess program fidelity, adherence to best practices and program outcomes.
