Sedgwick County corrections director details roughly $6.6M in KDOC adult services grants
Summary
Steve Stonehouse told commissioners the county completes three annual KDOC grant applications: two adult programs (probation/AISP and adult residential) comprising about $6.6 million for adult services, plus juvenile diversion and evidence‑based practice grants to community providers.
Steve Stonehouse, representing the Corrections Department, briefed the commission on annual KDOC grants for adult and juvenile services.
"The one adult item is funding for community corrections, two separate programs...and that comes together for that 6 point 6,000,000 and change as for adults' services," Stonehouse said, summarizing the adult grant package. He described the juvenile grants as funding juvenile diversion (JIAC, IIP) and juvenile field services and noted a community funding program that distributes evidence‑based practice funds to local providers.
Stonehouse told commissioners these are recurring annual grants the department submits and that staff would give a high‑level overview for the public while the items remain on consent.
