Troup County approves applications for four FY2027 court-related grants totaling roughly $1 million
Summary
The board voted to apply for multiple grants for court programs — including a $215,849 health-court request and three drug/family treatment court grants — each with specified local match amounts; the motions were approved unanimously.
Troup County commissioners authorized staff Feb. 17 to apply for four court-related grant opportunities for FY2027, each of which the county manager presented with grant totals and local-match requirements.
The packet showed a 'Bridal Health Court FY '27' grant for $215,849.20 with a 15% match of $36,792.48; the county manager asked for board approval to apply and the board voted in favor. The board also approved an application for the Troup County Family Treatment Court operating grant of $252,461.41 with a match of $43,033.19, and a DUI and drug-court grant shown in the packet as $210,118.06 with a match of $35,815.58. Commissioners additionally approved applying for another Drug Court FY2027 operating grant of $369,630.85 with a matching amount of $63,005.26.
All four requests were presented as authorizations to apply (staff will return if awards or program changes require local commitments). One minor inconsistency in the spoken record noted during the meeting: the chair read one grant total as $215,849.29 while the county manager's packet line and earlier staff remarks recorded the amount as $215,849.20; the difference was not explained in the meeting and will need clerical verification in the grant documents.
The motions carried and staff will proceed with application steps for each grant as directed by the board.
