Lucas County seeks $5.64 million in state Community Corrections and alternatives-to-prison funds
Summary
The Board authorized submission of a $5,637,452 grant application to Ohio’s Bureau of Community Sanctions to support probation personnel, intensive supervision, treatment beds and diversion programming.
The Board of Lucas County Commissioners voted May 5 to authorize the county to apply for Community Corrections Act and Targeted Community Alternatives to Prison (TCAP) grant funds from Ohio’s Bureau of Community Sanctions within the Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.
The application would total $5,637,452 and, if awarded, would fund probation personnel and programming associated with intensive supervision and high‑risk caseloads, as well as support treatment beds and positions to divert specified nonviolent felony offenders (fourth- and fifth-degree offenders) from state incarceration.
Presenter remarks emphasized the grants’ role in supporting local supervision and diversion efforts; commissioners approved the permission to apply unanimously. No award has been reported or finalized; the item authorized submission of an application only, and final budgeting would depend on the state award and any county matching or administrative requirements.
The resolution authorizes county staff to submit the application; additional approvals would be required before accepting and spending any award.
