Background and Discussion:

Harris County Community Supervision and Corrections Department has been a sub-recipient to Harris County since 2019 supporting Office of the Governor grants.  An interlocal agreement has been prepared by Harris County Attorney’s Office to document the sub-recipient relationship for the following 2027 grant applications: Residential Substance Abuse Treatment, Success Through Addiction Recovery (STAR) Drug Court Program, Veterans Treatment Court, Misdemeanor Veterans Court, Victim Assistance Program, DWI Sober Courts, Felony Mental Health Courts, and Opioid Detox Treatment and Supervision Program.     

 

 

Expected Impact:

 

The Office of the Governor grants provide over $2,000,000 in grant funds for services that lead to improved public health and public safety. These grants lead to improved outcomes in mental health, reduction in trauma, substance abuse, and decreased recidivism.

 

 

Alternative Options:

To provide fewer services or fund programs from general or other funds.
