The Ada County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 3187 following a public hearing to accept federal funding for expanded family justice services.
A presenter described the federal "justice for families" grant and said the county will partner with Idaho Legal Aid, the Women and Children’s Alliance and the victim center to use the grant to "pay for a full time attorney that will be housed at the victim center to provide assistance, also a part time victim advocate through WCA and a case manager, who will be here in Ada County, who will provide assistance to individuals who are going through the system." The board closed the public hearing and approved the resolution by voice vote.
Commissioners praised the community benefit and noted the county already has specialized local services; the presenter said the grant will help families access services and navigate court processes in cases involving domestic violence and related family law issues.
Resolution 3187 was approved as listed on the May 5 agenda.
