Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No.20BCC000012 to recognize $38,902 in grant revenue from the US Department of Justice (US DOJ). The US DOJ in September 2018 awarded the Criminal Justice Resource Center the Integrated Reentry Services: Improving Reentry for Adults with Co-occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Illness grant totaling $749,771. The department will budget $38,902 to satisfy the Planning and Implementation Guide requirement in the grant’s first year.
Durham County and the Criminal Justice Resource Center will use the grant funding to provide pre-and post-release services to persons in the Durham County Detention Center. The project will establish a comprehensive case planning and reentry coordination process that begins during detention and extends into reentry.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This agenda item aligns with Durham County’s Strategic Plan Goal 2: Health and Well Being for All, and Goal 3: Safe Community.
Resource Persons: Gudrun Parmer, CJRC Director
