To All Palm Beach County Mayors:
The Criminal Justice Commission (CJC) seeks your approval in the allocation of FY20
(Federal Fiscal Year 2019/County Fiscal Year 2020) Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds.
The total allocation to Palm Beach County is $312,028. The CJC received notification on
March 9, 2020 of this funding for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.
This funding was delayed due to Federal litigation surrounding sanctuary city protections,
which have since been lifted.
The CJC voted to support continuation of existing countywide programs at the funding
amounts listed below including: 1) The Reentry Program, which provides transitional
services for adults and juveniles released from jail and prison to Palm Beach County;
and 2) The PalmFUSE Program, which breaks the cycle of incarceration and
homelessness among individuals with complex behavioral health challenges who are
the highest users of jail, homeless shelters, hospitals and other crisis system services.
