CJTC reports roughly $63M encumbered of $100M in first grant round; round 2 to open soon
Summary
Staff said round 1 produced 34 applications, about 10-12 approvals so far, and that by the end of the round the commission expects to have encumbered approximately $63,000,000 of a $100,000,000 grant pool that must be spent by June 30, 2028.
Staff reported on the commission's grant program and sales/use tax verifications. The first round (opened in January, closed in March) received 34 applications; about 10-12 have been approved or are in approval processing. "We expect by the end of this that we will have awarded and thus encumbered somewhere around 63,000,000 of $100,000,000," staff said, adding that grant awards are capped by jurisdiction using an established rubric.
Staff explained the constraints: grantees must meet policy criteria before requesting reimbursement and the grant funding must be spent by June 30, 2028. The program has funded training, equipment hubs, co-response deputies, wellness programs, and other jurisdictional needs; round 2 will begin once staff capacity allows and the commission will report additional approvals as they are finalized.
