Discussion and possible action to authorize the acceptance of the renewal grant award and budget by the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC), to the 406th Judicial District Court, South Texas Veterans Treatment Court Program (VTP) in the amount of $305,000. The grant is effective July 1, 2024, and runs through June 30, 2025. This action authorizes the County Judge to sign and execute all relevant documents, and any other matters incident thereto.  All required documents were sent to the Economic Development Department for review and were found to be in compliance with the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) policy. There are no matching funds required. [Requested by 406th Judicial District Court; Grant Fund #2872]

Issue: During the 2023-24 grant year, the VTP exceeded grant performance measures. Therefore, the program was awarded a continuation grant by TVC. By accepting the award, the Commissioners Court would allow the 406th Judicial District Court Veterans Treatment Program to receive $305,000 to continue to support veterans and their families.

Solution: The Commissioners Court authorizing the acceptance of the grant funds and approving the budget to support and enhance services offered by the 406th Judicial District Court Veterans Treatment Program to veterans involved in the judicial system, which will allow for services to continue uninterrupted.

Result: Veterans in Webb and surrounding counties will benefit from services that may not be available without these funds, pursuant to §123.003.
