Thirty-three Ohio courts have received nearly $4 million for 42 different projects in an initial awarding of federal grant funds for Fiscal Year 2009, it was announced this week.
The Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services this year is conducting two separate rounds of grantmaking for both the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) program.
The grants awarded this week were for the first round, which was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Additionally, requests for proposals were sent out Aug. 1 for a second round of grants under the normal annual process for JAG and VAWA. The deadline for proposals is Aug. 31. Additional information on the current grant process can be viewed on the Ohio Criminal Justice Services Website.
The local court projects that received funding in the first round all were through JAG and range in scope from funding for operating specialized court dockets, hiring or retaining staff, security purposes, document imaging, and probation, diversion and truancy programs.
Lucas County Juvenile Court received funding for four projects, the most of any court in the state. Funding designated for the juvenile treatment court program will help retain a full-time coordinator position, which had been eliminated. The grant money will also pay for some part-time clerical help and provide training for staff to assist juveniles with co-occurring disorders. Created in 2004, the treatment program strives to increase community safety and reduce delinquency by providing court supervised substance abuse treatment and intensive case management for non-violent substance abusing youth.
Two other courts - Pickaway County Juvenile Court and Sandusky County Juvenile Court - each had three projects funded.
