Under SB 5476, the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) received state funds to distribute as grants to therapeutic courts around
the state.
Jurisdictions that receive funding must use those funds to identify individuals before the courts with substance use disorders or other behavioral health needs and engage those individuals with community-based therapeutic interventions. Courts who are
requesting funding to establish a new therapeutic program will be given priority. Courts who are requesting funding to expand their therapeutic program will be the second priority, followed by courts who are requesting funding to maintain a therapeutic
program.
Interested jurisdictions can review the application guidelines and grant application, as well as work through the categorization of costs grid provided by AOC. Applications are due September 28, 2021. If you have questions or comments, please contact
Stephanie Oyler.
