The purpose of the fund is to draw down federal funds and to invest them with the principal and interest to support the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant program.
According to the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant Guidance Manual, each year of award can be expended for the period of the year of the award plus three years. A total of up to 5% can be used for administrative costs and the rest of the funds are granted out to state courts and Juvenile Justice Services. There is a 10% matching requirement.
