Durham, N.C. — The Durham County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) is now soliciting juvenile crime intervention/prevention programs for proposals eligible for funding for the Fiscal Year 2026-2027. 

The Durham County JCPC has studied the risk factors and needs of Juvenile Court involved youth in the county and is now seeking Request for Proposals (RFP) 2026-2027. The JCPC anticipates funds from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety (DPS) Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in the amount of $100,000 to fund programs meeting specific criteria. Programs that will be considered for funding under this RFP are Restitution/Community Service and Teen Court.

The NCDPS priority for the use of these State funds is to support community-based programs that strengthen and expand needed juvenile court sanctions and treatment services. Programs requesting funding must address the identified “Risk Factors” and should provide treatment, rehabilitation, and/or academic enhancement as prioritized by the Durham County JCPC and described in the RFP. 

Selected programs will serve delinquent and at-risk youth for the State fiscal year 2026-2027, beginning on, or after, August 15, 2026. The use of these funds in this county requires a local match in the amount of 30%.
