The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) awarded a $1,885,440 Treatment Court Discretionary Grant (CFDA 16.585) to the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts (NCAOC) to expand and enhance adult treatment courts across the state. The funding will be used to:
-
Hire an adult and veterans court management specialist to increase capacity and supports for the state's adult criminal, mental health, driving while intoxicated, and veterans treatment courts.
-
Purchase a cloud-based management information system to strengthen case management supports for treatment court participants, enable continuous quality improvement for local courts, and improve data reporting to state and federal partners.
-
Increase access to treatment courts by implementing new courts, establishing participation agreements with jurisdictions without courts, and translating participant handbooks into Spanish.
-
Provide high-quality training to increase the application of evidence-based practices by the state's recovery court professionals.
-
Improve the use of valid screening/assessment tools and evidence-based practices across the treatment court system.
This initiative aims to expand the availability of treatment court services to all eligible defendants in North Carolina and enhance the quality and effectiveness of the existing treatment court programs.
