Committee approves moving $173,333 treatment-court grant to county board; match mostly in-kind
Summary
The committee approved forwarding a Treatment and Alternatives to Diversion (TAD) grant application totaling $173,333 to the county board; the grant requires a $43,333 county match, of which $36,351 is in-kind staff time and salaries.
The committee voted Sept. 4 to forward a Treatment and Alternatives to Diversion (TAD) grant package totaling $173,333 to the county board for acceptance and implementation.
Presenter (HHS staff) explained the county has run two treatment courts since 2017 — a sobriety court and a drug court — coordinated with law enforcement, the courts and the district attorney. The grant requires a county match of $43,333; staff said $36,351 of that match is in-kind, consisting of county-paid salaries for sheriff deputies, victim-witness staff and HHS personnel who participate on treatment-court teams.
Why it matters: treatment courts provide court-supervised alternatives to incarceration for people with substance-use disorders and for those with alcohol-related offenses. The grant funding supports program supervision, treatment and monitoring intended to reduce recidivism.
The committee motion to forward the grant request to the county board passed by voice vote.
