Targeted Community Alternatives to Prison (TCAP)

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) established the TCAP program to reduce the number of persons convicted of nonviolent, non-sex related fourth or fifth degree felony offenses committed to state penal institutions and/or detained in and/or committed to local corrections agencies. Pursuant to authority in Sections 2929.34 and 5149.38 of the Ohio Revised Code, TCAP funding is designed to support initiatives designed to offer community-based services for individuals diverted from the prison system and/or at high risk for future criminal justice involvement. Franklin County funds are used to increase the capacity of treatment, housing, and other community-based programs serving justice involved individuals in Franklin County. 

Eligible applicants include units of local government including first responders and community corrections organizations, and non-profit organizations with 501(c)(3) status.

Local Opioid Settlement Government Fund (LOSGF)

On August 12, 2021, the Franklin County Board of Commissioners accepted the terms of the Local Opioid Settlement Government Fund (LOSGF) and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding detailing the distribution of settlement funds.

Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program is the leading federal source of criminal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions for law enforcement, prosecution, crime prevention and education, and technology improvement. Administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the JAG Program provides states, territories, tribes, and local governments with critical funding necessary to support a range of program areas including:

• Law enforcement
• Prosecution and court
• Prevention and education
• Corrections and community corrections, including reentry
• Drug treatment and enforcement
• Planning, evaluation, and technology improvement
• Crime victim and witness initiatives
• Mental health programs and related law enforcement and corrections programs, including behavioral health programs and crisis intervention teams
• Implementation of state crisis intervention court proceedings and related programs or initiatives including, but not limited to mental health courts, drug courts, veteran courts, and extreme risk protection order programs

JAG authorizes funding directly to local jurisdictions for criminal justice initiatives, based on a formula that considers population size and Part 1 felony crime rates. The local allocation is administered by OJPP on behalf of Franklin County and the cities of Columbus and Whitehall. Rather than through a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) process, funding decisions are made through a jointly agreed upon plan developed annually by the County and participating cities. Projects are identified and included as part of this collaborative planning process.

Title II Formula Grant Program 

The Title II Grant Program is intended to support programs, services, and systems improvement activities that prevent and reduce juvenile delinquency by providing community-based support that limits initial and further contact with the juvenile justice system. The Title II Formula Grant is awarded annually by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to the Ohio Department of Youth Services (ODYS), the state administrative agency, and then is passed through to Franklin County based on a formula determined by population. The purpose is to assist states in addressing juvenile crime and delinquency at the local level.

Eligible applicants include non-profit agencies that serve youth, community organizations with a history of providing services to youth, educational service centers, social service agencies, and grassroots start-up agencies with local partnerships.
