Family-Based Justice Center

The Marron Institute of Urban Management at New York University proposes to continue operating the Family-Based Justice Center (FBJC). The FBJC provides training and technical assistance (TTA) to OJJDP Family-Based Alternative Justice (FBAJ) site-based grantees and other agencies, jurisdictions, and community-based organizations, nationwide, requesting support and informs the field. FBAJ programs provide an opportunity for families to remain united while justice-involved parents and caregivers remain in the community. These programs have the potential to mitigate the negative impacts of separating caregivers from their children, and their numbers are growing.
