Commissioners sign letter of support for Community Corrections grant applications

Myra Albertson, who identified herself as representing Washington County Community Corrections, presented the program's 2025 annual report and asked the board to sign a letter supporting two grant applications: a Department of Corrections grant for 2027 and an Indiana Office of Court Services grant for the South Central Indiana Veterans Treatment Court in Washington County. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved signatures on the letter of support.

Albertson said Washington County Community Corrections is funded by a Department of Corrections grant and project income and requested the board's signature to support the 2027 application. The board approved the request on a motion and second without recorded dissent in the transcript.

What happens next: staff and program leadership will submit applications for the listed grants with the board's support letter attached; specific grant amounts and award conditions were not specified in the transcript.
