Senate Bill 8, also known as Safe Harbor or Rachel’s Law Act, was signed into law on May 5, 2015. The bill established the creation of the Safe Harbor for Sexually Exploited Children Fund Commission and the Safe Harbor for Sexually Exploited Children Fund.

CJCC will accept applications from human trafficking programs to provide care, rehabilitative services, residential housing, health services, and social services, including establishing safe houses to sexually exploited children. Education, awareness, and prevention activities must be trauma informed, culturally appropriate, and victim centered, and will be accomplished through the provision of trainings, presentations, technical assistance, community outreach, direct service, and collaboration.

Applicants are limited to local county commissions/boards of commissioners to apply on behalf of juvenile courts within Georgia. High priority will be given to counties who commit the highest numbers of juveniles to the Department of Juvenile Justice. The availability of funds is dependent on appropriations from the U.S. Department of Justice and the Georgia State Legislature. The Office reserves the right to reduce the amount of funds available based on government budgetary actions. The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, (CFDA 16.540) administers a portion of these funds at the national level.
