PRIA, Government Policy, Made Personal

Summary

The Council can give grants to support programs like summer and after-school education and recreation, mentoring and tutoring with adult role models, job-readiness and placement help, and prevention or treatment work to cut substance abuse, child abuse, and teen pregnancy (including outreach to at-risk families). Eligible applicants include Indian tribal governments, cities, counties, other local governments, school boards, colleges and universities, private nonprofits, or consortia of these groups. Applicants must show they planned with neighborhood groups, young people, and local partners and that the project will focus on specific neighborhoods or rural areas and reach a large share of the children and youth there. The Council will prefer broad community coalitions that work together to reduce gang activity and substance abuse and give at-risk youth alternatives. Federal funds can cover up to 75% of project costs (the Council can waive the 25% match when fair). Nonfederal matches can be cash or valued goods and services. Federal money must add to, not replace, existing state, local, or Bureau of Indian Affairs funds. The Council must evaluate the funded programs.
