County seeks $740,000 federal grant to sustain deflection program
Summary
Officials reported the county's deflection program has continued on donations after a state grant expired and that a $740,000 federal Rural Communities Opioid Response Program grant application was submitted to support the program without requiring local matching funds.
County staff said the deflection program, which diverts certain people from prosecution into supportive services, has been operating on donations after a state grant expired. Staff reported 113 active pretrial clients, 10 diversion clients and three treatment-court clients currently served through county programs.
Becky Berry submitted an application for a federal Rural Communities Opioid Response Program grant for $740,000 to support deflection work, staff said. The presenter emphasized the grant requires no local match, which would make it a favorable funding option to sustain the program if awarded.
