Program Implementation Management/Support

OR has FY20-FY24 award funds to spend down and is currently only funding one prison program with the OR DOC Coffee Creek Facility. Douglas County drug court program (ADAPT) was previous subaward and OR CJC is working with them to reapply which would meet jail requirement for unspent funds. Jail requirement was met for previously used funds. RSAT-TTA encourage provided guidance on qualifying uses of funds and eligible programs, i.e. housing vouchers for community-based reentry programs.

The goal of this TTA is to provide the Tucson Police Department with direct access to a subject matter expert to enhance their ability to communicate with the public which will assist in their efforts to reduce violent crime.

The goal of this TTA is to provide content expertise and TTA resources and support, working in collaboration with IIR, for the PSP communities of practice.

Arkansas requested meeting with BJA and RSAT-TTA to discuss the 10% jails match and it's associated requirements. AR DFA is hosting a webinar for potential county applicants and requested information to present to sheriff's and other interested parties. RSAT-TTA sent notes from discussion to Arkansas summarizing jail-based requirements and funding options through other state examples. RSAT-TTA followed up with former COSSUP grantee in AR who may be interested in participation - sending their contact information to AR DFA to attend upcoming webinar.

SD is a prospective RSAT grantee having not accepted grant funds for 7 years. They are exploring avenues to use funding and anticipate applying for funds next FFY. They run several reentry prorgams servicing formerly incarcerated individuals which is a potential avenue funding to be used. Discussed potential opportunities and uses of grant funds to support existing drug/alcohol treatment programs in county jails. The DOC is a potential subaward though they already have a relation with the state DOC via reentry programs which may be eligible funding.

The 2023 Solicitation began a requirement of  Appendix A: Certification Regarding Nonresidential Substance Use Treatment Aftercare, that if CT chooses to use RSAT funding for aftercare the Governor must certify that the state is providing, and will continue to provide, an adequate level of residential substance use treatment services. CT is seeking guidance on how other states define the term ‘adequate’ to submit this certification. RSAT TTA consulted BJA policy officers and responded to CT SAA.
