The SCAAP Program is authorized through Section 241 of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990. The BJA provides funding to participating jurisdictions based on a formula determined by an applicant's percentage of the total SCRAP funding for that fiscal year. The FY -2002 SCAAP budget is $585 million dollars. The BJA will provide funds to assist in the payment of costs incurred from housing those foreign born inmates that are in the Indian River County jail facility for more than 72 consecutive hours. The revenue generated from participating in this program would be directly wired by the BJA to the Indian River County general fund as unrestricted dollars that can be used by the County for any lawful purpose.
