Trumbull County approves $1.227 million TCAP grant application for alternatives to prison program
Summary
Commissioners approved a $1,227,333 grant application for the Targeted Community Alternative to Prison (TCAP) program covering July 1, 2025–June 30, 2027, payable in eight equal installments and contingent on funding receipt.
The Board of Trumbull County Commissioners approved submission of a fiscal years 2026–2027 grant application for the Targeted Community Alternative to Prison (TCAP) program in the amount of $1,227,333, payable in eight equal installments if awarded. The grant term is listed as July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027.
The agenda noted that, if Trumbull County does not receive funding, the Board has no obligation to fund the program locally. The motion to approve the application passed unanimously on voice vote.
Why it matters: TCAP programs typically fund community‑based alternatives to incarceration; the approved application starts the formal process to seek state or federal funds to support such services locally. The board recorded the grant amount and term in the meeting minutes and directed staff to complete application steps.
The board did not discuss programmatic details, eligibility or the budget breakdown at length during the meeting; the application was approved following presentation in the agenda packet.
