GCC Grants
The Governor's Crime Commission Grants Management Section administers federal block grants for new criminal justice and juvenile justice programs in North Carolina. The Governor’s Crime Commission administers over $30 million of grants each year and assures that money is spent according to federal and state governmental regulations during the life of the grants.
The grants are awarded to government, education and social service agencies to start new and innovative programs in the following areas:
- Drug Control and System Improvement
- Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention
- Juvenile Accountability
- Victims of Crime Act
- Violence Against Women Act.
The Governor’s Crime Commission staff announces the availability of grant funds statewide every fall on its web site. Applicants have up to six weeks to complete the application. The appropriate committee, the Commission, and the secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety make decisions on the grant recipients and the awards are made in the spring.
