OBJECTIVE: To ensure continued operation of the Collier County Drug Court Program.
CONSIDERATIONS: On April 25, 2023 (Agenda Item #16.D.9), the Collier County Board of County
Commissioners ("Board") approved the “After-the-Fact” submittal of an Adult Drug Court Discretionary funding
application to the Department of Justice (DOJ) - Bureau of Justice Assistance in the amount of $1,000,000 with a
$333,333.33 match requirement. The proposal included a request for funding to support improvements to the
existing program including full incorporation of the ten (10) National Association of Drug Court Professi onals
(NADCP) best practice standards.
The Collier County Adult Drug Court target population includes adults eighteen (18) years and over, who have
been charged with a non-violent drug-related felony offense(s) and
1. Are substance dependent and
2. Are at risk of failing in less intensive rehabilitation programs.
On September 27, 2023, County staff was notified that the application had been approved for funding in the amount
of $1,000,000 for a four-year period commencing October 1, 2023 - September 30, 2027.
The grant award is $1,000,000 and the total project cost including match is $1,333,333.33. The grantor requires a
minimum of a twenty-five percent (25%) match. The County and Subrecipient will contribute a total of
$333,333.33. Collier County Community and Human Services will provide $33,333.33 of the required match and
the remaining project match of $300,000 will be provided by the David Lawrence Center (DLC). The award will
enhance the collaboration of the Drug Court Team, including the DLC, Court administration, the State Attorney
Public Defender’s Office, and the Collier County Sheriff’s Office Department of Corrections. Collier County will
serve as the fiscal agent and the Community & Human Services Division (CHS) will manage the grant award and
all associated administrative functions.
The award will include a subrecipient agreement to DLC, which is the only comprehensive publicly funded
substance abuse agency in Collier County. They are also the only treatment provider with the Drug Court Team. All
sub-award contracts will be presented to the Board for final approval and execution at a later date.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total project cost is $1,333,333.33. A Budget Amendment is required to recognize the
grant funding in the amount of $1,000,000 over four (4) years and to be appropriated into Community & Human
Services Grant Fund 1835, Project 33880. $900,000 will be allocated to the Sub-Recipient, David Lawrence Center,
(DLC), and $100,000 will be allocated to Fiscal Agent and Manager, Community and Human Services (CHS). The
grant requires a twenty-five percent (25%) local match in the amount of $333,333.33. DLC will provide $300,000
and CHS will provide the remaining balance of $33,333.33. Local match in the amount of $33,333.33 will require a
budget transfer from the General Fund Cost Center 155930 into the Community and Human Services Grant Match
Fund (1836), Project 33880.
