Commissioners approve interagency MOUs and reentry grant submissions to support child protection and justice‑impacted residents
Summary
The Board authorized memoranda of understanding to formalize interdisciplinary responses to child abuse and neglect and approved grant submissions to fund housing incentives, a reentry specialist position, and workforce/housing readiness classes for justice-impacted individuals.
Clark County commissioners on Feb. 25 approved several items intended to strengthen social‑service coordination and reentry supports.
Resolution 2026-0148 authorized memoranda of understanding between Clark County Family and Children Services (Job and Family Services) and an array of partners — including the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, juvenile court, local police departments, Dayton Children’s Medical Center, the Child Advocacy Center and other agencies — to create protocol-based interdisciplinary responses to child abuse and neglect.
The Board also authorized three grant submissions on behalf of the county’s Reentry Director: a Landlord Incentive grant to the Mental Health Recovery Board for up to $30,000 to pay miscellaneous housing costs for justice-impacted clients (Resolution 2026-0151); a $35,952.48 United Way grant to cover 50% of a Reentry Specialist’s salary and benefits to expand employment and reintegration services (Resolution 2026-0152); and a $3,200 Young Woman’s Mission grant to fund workforce certification and housing-readiness classes (Resolution 2026-0153).
County staff said these actions aim to reduce financial barriers to stable housing for justice-impacted individuals, expand program capacity and strengthen coordinated responses to child abuse and neglect via formal MOUs. The resolutions authorize the County Administrator to execute contracts and grant documents.
