Of the $566,000 identified in the biennial state budget for JDAI implementation, $392,000 is passed through OJJ to the local JDAI jurisdictions to support local JDAI implementation. Funds are divided evenly among the JDAI sites and sites submit biennial implementation plans and budget narrative requests prior to contract execution. Each site also completes a Racial and Ethnic Disparities Reduction Plan in order to identify what changes need to be made to policy and practice in order to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in their local jurisdiction. The remaining state funds are used to support contracts with WSCCR for data analysis and Cultures Connecting, LLC for training and the JDAI state coordinator position within OJJ.
In addition to funding from the AECF, the Washington State Legislature (beginning SFY 2009) and the Washington State Partnership Council on Juvenile Justice (beginning SFY 2006) have provided funding for JDAI expansion. Funding levels and sources are identified in the graph below.
