Description: OJJDP, through its FY 2009 Training and Technical Assistance for Tribal Juvenile Detention and Reentry Green Program, will select an organization to provide training and technical assistance to federally recognized tribes that have a tribal or Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)-operated juvenile detention center located within or near the tribe&#146;s land. The winning applicant to this solicitation will provide specialized training and technical assistance to the grant recipients of OJJDP&apos;s Tribal Juvenile Detention and Reentry Green Demonstration Program, a new initiative to help federally recognized Indian tribes provide essential programs and services to tribal youth residing within or being released from tribal juvenile detention centers. A primary focus of this demonstration program is to assist tribes as they develop partnerships with universities and/or organizations to implement green technologies and environmentally sustainable activities as part of their reentry program. The reentry program will also provide opportunities for tribes to develop these partnerships for long-term benefit, both in terms of environmental impact and economic advantage and cost-savings. The legislative authority for this initiative can be founding the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2009, Pub. L. 111-8.
