Center staff met virtually with each FY24 grantee site one-on-one to assess their goals and needs. Center staff then conducted six interactive webinars for all new grantees discussing the essential elements required to successfully operate a community court program. New grantees were also invited to attend one of two regional community court convenings. TTA providers also worked with the sites to complete their Enhancement Checklists and Implementation Action Plans. TTA providers are currently working with the sites to finalize their Individualized TTA Plans. The Meridian Community Court Initiative intends to focus on housing support, high school equivalency degrees, employment training, mental health support, and substance use treatment for the community. The team has experienced communication and engagement issues due to significant personnel shifts and firewalls in their municipal court email domain. In early July, they hired the East Mississippi Planning & Development District to be the new administrators of the grant with the hope that the new administrators will support them in reinvigorating the planning process.
