Board approves participation in regional community corrections grant application
Summary
The Sanilac County Board voted to participate in the Thumb Area Regional Community Corrections FY 2026 grant application after a presentation from David Stevens; the resolution passed by roll call with unanimous 'yes' votes.
David Stevens of the Thumb Area Regional Community Corrections briefed the board on a new online grant application process and asked the counties to approve participation in the FY 2026 application. He said the region received $335,000 in total funding in the current year and described plans to request significantly more funding for programming and administrative oversight; Stevens noted differences in county referral patterns and the importance of court and probation referrals to program utilization.
The board offered a motion to adopt a resolution authorizing Sanilac County’s participation in the regional application. Leslie (the clerk) conducted a roll call and every commissioner recorded a 'yes' vote; the board adopted the resolution. Commissioners expressed support for regional treatment options and noted that referrals from judges, prosecutors and probation agents determine local utilization of the programs described.
