Washington County commissioners approve about $791,458 in grants for recovery and related services
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved four grant awards — including $448,517.43 for integrated software to support wraparound services — on roll call at a special meeting; commissioners and a member reiterated that awards were vetted by a multi-member committee and reviewed publicly.
The Washington County Board of Commissioners voted to approve four grant awards at a special meeting, moving forward with funding for recovery-related programs, software to support wraparound services and youth camp scholarships.
The chief clerk asked the board to approve a $10,000 grant to the Department of Human Services for the 2026 Road to Recovery Symposium to support education and prevention programming; the item was seconded and advanced on roll call. The clerk later presented a $448,517.43 award to "Integrated Software" to enable county provision of wraparound services for residents with opioid use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions; that motion was also seconded and carried on roll call.
The board approved a $291,941 grant from Gateway Rehabilitation Center to revitalize therapeutic program spaces, and a $41,000 award to Shekinah Youth Ranch of Mona Valley to fund Trail of Grace overnight camp scholarships for qualifying Washington County youth and their families. Taken together, the four actions total approximately $791,458.43.
Roll-call exchanges recorded commissioners answering 'yes' when called for each motion; the clerk recorded the motions as seconded before the roll calls. The transcript shows the clerk asking individual commissioners by name during the roll call and receiving affirmative responses.
A commissioner who spoke after the votes praised the selection process, saying the four awards were run through an open, multi-member committee and that portions of the slate were livestreamed. "I do wanna reiterate that these four awards were run through a committee that was chosen to look at these, and that's something that I had advocated all along," the commissioner said, adding that some items were tabled during committee review.
No public comment was received before the meeting adjourned.
