Agenda Item

Discuss,consider and take appropriate action on request to apply for a Texas Veterans Commission grant to support the County Court at Law #2 - Williamson County Veterans Treatment Court program. 

Background

The Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) has awarded Williamson County a $30,000 grant for the past two years.  The funds have been used solely to provide counseling services for the Veterans in Judge Barkers Treatment Court.  This year (2022-2023) we will be requesting the same amount from the TVC in order to continue providing mental health services to those who need it the most.    The funding primarily provides individual therapy but can provide therapy for both the Veteran and his/her spouse when warranted.

The counseling services will be provided by a third party vendor who is vetted and licensed.  In the past, we have used Veritas Well Being, LLC for this service.
