Greene County commissioners authorized staff on July 17 to apply for federal VOCA (Victims of Crime Act) funding for federal fiscal year 2026 to support the juvenile court CASA program.
County staff said the current VOCA award is $30,314.10 and funds about 40% of a CASA position; the proportion of the position funded will shrink over time if VOCA award levels do not increase, because personnel and benefits costs rise with annual cost-of-living and insurance increases. "Currently the grant amount is, $30,314.10. Currently, funds about 40% of that position... that percentage that it covers with that dollar amount will continue to decrease as, you know, we have annual cost of living increases and health insurance increases," the staff member said.
A motion to authorize the application passed by voice vote. The transcript does not include the full grant application or the county’s match or budget plan.
