The U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) awarded a $149,938 Project Grant under the Missing Alzheimer's Disease Patient Assistance Program (CFDA 16.015) to the Center For The Missing (doing business as Texas Center For The Missing), a Houston-based non-profit organization. The 3-year grant will fund the "Reducing Injury and Death of Missing Individuals with Dementia and Developmental Disabilities" program in the 14-county Houston-Galveston region of Southeast Texas. Key program activities include: 1) providing GPS tracking devices, door/window alarms, and ID tags/bracelets to families and caregivers, along with training on their use; 2) delivering victim services and case management; 3) training 200 officers on emergency alert activation and response protocols; and 4) facilitating search and rescue services to quickly recover endangered missing persons. The program aims to implement comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, trauma-informed services to prevent and reduce injury or death of missing individuals with dementia and developmental disabilities in the region.
