Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the submission of a grant application as developed, written, and submitted by Webb County Court-at-Law II for OJJDP Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Programs Grant in an amount estimated at $750,000.00 for a period of 48 months to create and enhance juvenile drug treatment court (JDTC) programs for youth in the justice system with substance use disorders and designating the Webb County Judge as the authorized official in all matters related to this grant; and any other matters incident thereto. This grant does require a 25% cash or in-kind match and, thus, will have no impact on the general fund if approved. Through the application Webb County Court-at-Law II will submit to contribute the 25% of total grant funds through an in-kind match. All required documents were sent for review through the Economic Development Department and the solicitation is compliant with the Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures. [Requested by Judge Victor Villarreal, CCL #2]

Issue: Webb County is in need of a Juvenile Drug Treatment Court Program.

Solution: The objectives of this program are to improve access and availability of adolescent (and family when appropriate) substance use disorder treatment services to a larger number of clients, increase the number of individuals served, and/or propose enhancements to improve the quality of treatment services by adding workforce development strategies, evidence-based treatment approaches, or new treatment services to address unmet or emerging trends.

Result: This grant will allow Webb County Court-at-Law II to provide assistance to Juveniles by continuing judicial supervision over juveniles, and other individuals under the jurisdiction of the court, with substance abuse problems who are not violent offenders.
