The State Of West Virginia Supreme Court Of Appeals has been awarded a $659,876 Formula Grant under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' State Court Improvement Program (CFDA 93.586). This two-year grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026, will enable the Court to enhance the quality of court processes and legal representation in child welfare cases across West Virginia.
The grant funding will support the Court's efforts to improve decision-making procedures, conduct system assessments, expand treatment courts, integrate data systems, and increase legal services for children and families involved in the child welfare system. The Court also plans to partner with state agencies and organizations to administer sub-awards and provide specialized services such as peer recovery support, domestic violence training, and video conferencing capabilities in correctional facilities. These initiatives are designed to advance the administration of justice and improve outcomes for vulnerable populations in West Virginia.
