Walworth County authorizes applications for two supplemental behavioral-health grants (about $80,000)
Summary
County staff received committee approval to apply for two supplemental awards for substance-use prevention/treatment and community mental-health services, noted no additional local match is required, and said applications were due July 17.
Walworth County's Health and Human Services board authorized staff to apply for two supplemental behavioral-health grants aimed at substance-use prevention/treatment and community mental-health services.
A staff member explained the county already receives base awards but must seek committee approval to accept supplemental awards that were not on the preapproved grant list; staff said the county is eligible for roughly $80,000 in supplemental funds and no additional local match or maintenance requirement applies. After questions about program set-asides for primary prevention and female-focused services, the board moved and voted to approve applying for and accepting the supplemental awards if awarded.
Staff said the supplemental funds would offset costs in behavioral-health areas such as respite care and out-of-home care and that timely application (due July 17) had been submitted with preliminary authorization from administration.
