Juvenile corrections grant approved for fiscal 2026; audit and statewide SIM mapping workshop planned
Summary
County staff said Morgan County's juvenile corrections grant application for fiscal 2026 has been approved and will begin July 1; the county is undergoing a 2024 JCC GRAMA financial audit and is scheduled for a Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) mapping workshop with the state and NAMI in September.
Morgan County staff told the Community Corrections Advisory Board that the county's juvenile corrections grant application for fiscal 2026 has been approved and that the grant period will begin July 1, though the county has not yet received the official award letter.
Staff also reported that the 2024 Juvenile Community Corrections (JCC) GRAMA financial audit is underway. The audit and other reporting requirements are separate from the new grant award; staff said they expect the official notification letter for the FY26 award any day.
Local JRAC (juvenile regional assessment committee) staff said JRAC continues to meet monthly and is preparing for a state-led Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) mapping workshop scheduled for September. The county plans to invite a commissioner representative and a county council representative to the expanded SIM workshop, and staff identified the state partner NAMI as a resource that will help the county map touchpoints across crisis, prosecution, courts and community-based services.
The board also received juvenile program metrics for the quarter. Staff reported two male and one female secure-detention placements during the quarter; one adolescent placed in secure detention as a result of crisis intervention was 15 years old. The reported cost of detention for the quarter was $21,600. The county reported 17 new referrals from the prosecuting attorney and 65 participants in prevention programs during the quarter. Diversion-program participation for the quarter was small (three participants), with diversion evidence-based-intervention adherence reported at 85 percent.
Staff said the total juvenile community corrections program had 65 participants during the quarter (not counting new referrals) and that MRT (Moral Reconation Therapy) had no participants at the time of the report. The board did not take any formal votes related to the grant, audit or SIM mapping at the meeting.
