DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

The Superior Court of California, County of El Dorado, first applied for the California Collaborative Justice Courts Substance Abuse Focus Grant Program (SAFG) in August of 2014. The grant is funded through the Judicial Council of California.  The Court received notification of the grant award in late 2014 under the terms and conditions of Contract No. 1029398. A second year application (FY 2015-2016) was submitted and awarded in August 2015 under the terms and conditions of Contract No. 1031075. A third year application (FY 2016-2017) was submitted and awarded in August 2016 under the terms and conditions of Contract No. 1032705. A fourth year application (FY 2017-2018) was submitted and awarded in October 2017.

 

The grant program was designed to promote innovation in collaborative justice courts developed to address complex community problems that are exacerbated by substance abuse related offenses.  The program is also designed to assist Courts in using drug court principles and substance abuse treatment in the context of collaborative justice courts. The Probation Department’s participation in this grant program will be to provide Court services to complete the program objectives identified in the MOU.  This MOU, if adopted, will cover the grant term of July 1, 2017, through November 30, 2018.
