Kosciusko County officials approve application for $10,000 First Soarscribe Foundation grant for jail recovery program
Summary
County officials granted permission to apply for a $10,000 nonmatching First Soarscribe Foundation grant to buy radios for peer recovery coaches and assemble release packages for people leaving the Kosciusko County Jail.
Kosciusko County officials agreed to apply for a $10,000 First Soarscribe Foundation grant to support the Kosciusko Community Recovery Program (KCRP) operating in the Kosciusko County Jail.
Chris, identified in the meeting as a representative of KCRP, told the county that the grant is a nonmatching award and would buy radio equipment for peer recovery coaches and fund “release packages for the inmates that are leaving incarceration … hygiene products, clothing, things like that.” When asked, a board member asked, “So what's KCRP?” and Chris answered, “Kosciusko Community Recovery Program.”
The request drew a motion to approve from Rachel and a second from Kim; the motion was approved with the board’s customary voice vote and signature procedure noted in the record.
