The JPCF Program replaced the Comprehensive Youth Services Act, which provided federal dollars to county probation departments through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. TANF was in place for a short period between 1997 and 1999. Counties used these federal dollars to fund services and programs across the continuum of options, from prevention and early intervention through custody.
