Earlier in November, the Board of State and Community Corrections
(BSCC) approved the release of a Request for Proposals for
the Mobile
Probation Services Centers Grant Program, which makes
$20 million available to counties to purchase vehicles,
equipment, and technology to conduct outreach to probationers,
particularly those who are unhoused and struggling to meet
requirements. Proposals are due back to the BSCC on
January 6, 2023, and the grant period will begin
in May.
In other business the Board:
Approved $4 million in annual federal Title
II funding over three years to eight nonprofits and
three government agencies to support delinquency prevention and
improvements in the juvenile justice system.
Authorized Board staff to recruit an executive steering
committee for the $10 million Medication-Assisted Treatment Grant
Program. The ESC will write the request for
proposals. The
MAT grant is designed to provide funding for the
treatment of substance-use disorders and to pay for medications
to help people break their addictions. The services can be
delivered in county jails or in a community-based setting.
For more information on these programs please contact the Field
Representative in the above grant links.
