Community Commitment and Focus

Buncombe County is committed to building a healthy, safe, well-educated, and thriving community that is equitable and sustainable. Buncombe County invests in our community through eight grant programs supporting organizations working in support of the Buncombe 2025 Strategic Plan focus areas and goals. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are critical to our grants processes, and Buncombe County encourages participation from organizations led by and providing service to people of color/BIPOC individuals.

Partnership for Juvenile Justice

The North Carolina Department of Public Safety’s Division of Juvenile Justice partners with JCPCs in each county to galvanize community leaders to reduce and prevent youth involvement with the juvenile justice system. The intent is to provide alternatives to youth development centers through community-based programming, treatment, counseling or rehabilitation services for youth involved in, or at risk of involvement, in the juvenile justice system.
