The Supreme Court of Louisiana received a $964,102 formula grant award under the State Court Improvement Program (CFDA 93.586), which is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families. This 2-year award, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, will support the state court's efforts to enhance the quality of judicial processes and legal representation in child welfare cases. Specifically, the funding will be used to conduct system assessments, implement data system integrations, expand specialized court dockets, and increase legal services for children and families involved in the child welfare system. The grant builds on the Supreme Court's prior experience partnering with state agencies like the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice to drive court system improvements related to child welfare, domestic violence, commercial driver's licensing, and DWI cases.
