Houghton County credited staff after $1.9M SAMHSA grant; District Court to receive $380,000 this year
Summary
Administrator Larson credited Gail Ploe for helping secure a $1.9 million federal SAMHSA grant for drug treatment court programming; the District Court will receive $380,000 this year under the 'Connections, not Cuffs' allocation, to be managed by Judge Daavettila.
Administrator Larson told the board on Sept. 10 that Houghton County's Health Department received a federal SAMHSA grant totaling $1.9 million over five years to support drug treatment court programming and related services. Larson credited Gail Ploe for work that helped secure the award.
Larson said the District Court will receive $380,000 this year under a program labeled "Connections, not Cuffs," and that Judge Daavettila will oversee the court's use of the funds. The board did not vote on the grant itself during the meeting; the announcement was presented as a report and a recognition of staff effort.
Administrator Larson later said MDHHS leadership and the Prosecuting Attorney will meet Thursday at 1 p.m. to discuss abuse and neglect cases returning to the Prosecutor's Office; he said a contract, if signed, would create funding for the Prosecutor's Office.
