Committee approves application for CHaD treatment court grant with county match
Summary
The Community and Health Services Standing Committee approved a resolution authorizing HHS to apply for and accept a CHaD treatment court grant of $173,333 with a county match of $43,333; staff said roughly $28,000 of that match is expected as cash and the remainder as in‑kind contributions.
The Community and Health Services Standing Committee voted to approve a resolution authorizing the Department of Health and Human Services to apply for and accept the CHaD (treatment alternatives and diversion) grant.
Speaker 4 presented the grant details, saying the current total for the program is $173,333 with a county match of $43,333. Speaker 2 explained how match requirements work in practice: not all of the match must be cash and “about 28,000 will be cash matched, the rest will be in kind,” meaning county employee time and services can count toward the match.
Speaker 1 called for a motion and the committee approved the resolution by voice vote; committee members recorded 'aye' responses and no opposed votes were recorded in the transcript.
The CHaD grant funds the county’s alcohol and drug treatment court. Staff said the grant amount may be reassessed in year five and that the department tries to maximize in‑kind contributions to minimize county cash obligations.
