INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The 52nd District Court is applying the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO), Michigan Mental
Health Court Grant Program for the amount of $131,160.13, for the grant period of October 1, 2024,
through September 30, 2025. The court will be utilizing an existing Oakland County funded
Probation Officer to coordinate and manage the caseload for each of the four Divisions of the
District Court. The 52nd District Court has requested funds for a Community Health Network Liaison
Officer to assist with managing the Mental Health Court caseload, conduct mental health and
substance abuse assessments for all potential defendants who meet the program criteria, attend
staffing and review hearings at all four divisions of the 52nd District Court, attend the 2025 Michigan
Association of Treatment Court Professionals (MATCP) conference, and participate in graduation
ceremonies. The court has also requested funds to assist participants with required drug testing,
tethers, Oakland County Sheriff's Office overtime for Home Visits, and emergency housing. The
court will seek to create a new position, District Court Clerk to assist with data entry and clerical
duties assigned to our treatment courts, with the cost of this position divided between all 4 of the
Treatment Court’s operating out of 52-1 District Court. The active number of participants in our
program is subject to change.
The grant application has completed the Grant Review Process in accordance with the Grants
Policy.
BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: No

CONDITIONS ON EXPENSES
All Michigan Mental Health Court Grant Program (MMHCGP) projects are based on the cost

provided. Your court will be reimbursed quarterly after invoices for g rant expenses have been
submitted to and approved by the SCAO.
Costs must be allowable as stated above, and they must be reasonable and necessary. All grant costs
and billings will be reviewed by the SCAO to ensure that they reflect costs generally recogn ized as
ordinary and necessary for the operation of the problem -solving court and reflect market prices for
comparable goods or services.
Additionally, the grant expenditures must be for goods and services that are or will be utilized for
the grant period or fiscal year (October 1 to September 30). Billing for goods and services that
could not reasonably be used up prior to September 30 (e.g., bus tokens, library materials, drug
testing supplies purchased on September 24) will be denied for reimbursement. Contact the SCAO
if you are not sure about an expense. If required by the court funding unit, costs must be obtained
by competitive bids.
Page 4 FY 2024 SCAO Grant Program Allowable Expenses

which includes legal, medical, psychological , and accountant consultants. If the rate will exceed
$650.00 for an eight-hour day, written approval is required from the SCAO in advance.
Compensation for individual consultant services is to be responsible and consistent with that paid
for similar services in the market place.
SUBRECIPIENTS
To determine whether a service agency or provider is a subrecipient or contractor, the below
criteria is listed to aid in the decision. However, it is the substance of the relationship that is more
important than the form of agreement. All criteria listed below may not be pr esent in all cases,
therefore, the program must use judg ment in classifying each agreement as a subrecipient or
contractor. Programs should document the process for determining each agency or provider as a
subrecipient or contractor for audit purposes.
Subrecipient contracts are required to be uploaded in the “Subrecipient Subcontract” link on the
Grant Component page in WebGrants. Templates for contracts can be found in the same link as
subrecipient subcontract.
Subrecipient:
• Definition
o Is an agency/p erson who receives a subaward
o Has their performance measured in relation to whether the grant objectives were met
o Has responsibility for determining program operations
o Adheres to grant requirements specified in contract
o Uses funds to carry out program obje ctives for a public purpose as specified by
statute, as opposed to providing goods and services
• Requirements
o Program enters into a contract with the subrecipient that includes at least all items
included in the program’s SCAO contract for the grant funds, and upload a copy of
the signed contract in WebGrants
o Ensure that subrecipients are adhering to the assurances
o Submit agency payroll documents, general ledger, paycheck stubs, proof of payment,
and timesheets (if time is split with another funding source) with claims
o Agency has to submit a budget to the court that must be incorporated into the
program’s budget to the SCAO. The budget must includ e:
▪ Pay rates
▪ Annual hours
▪ Fringe
▪ PTO information
▪ Pay bonuses, longevity, etc.
▪ Supplies
▪ Travel
Contractor:

o Provides similar goods and services to many different purchasers
Page 5 FY 2024 SCAO Grant Program Allowable Expenses
o Normally operates in a competitive environment
o Is not subject to adhere to grant requirements, though similar requirements may
apply for other reasons.
TRAVEL EXPENSES
Travel expenses may not exceed the state rate, or your program’s county rate, whichever is the
lesser expense. The state mileage rate includes premium rate for roundtrip less than 100 miles and
standard rate for roundtrip more than 100 miles.
NONSUPPLANTING
The SCAO requires that funds not be used t o supplant state, local, or tribal funds. The grantee
must assure that funds will not be used to replace or supplant state, local , or tribal funds, but will
be used to increase the amount of such funds that would, in the absence of grant funds, be made
available for criminal justice activities.
This means that if your court plans to:
• Hire new positions (including filling existing vacancies that are no longer funded in
your agency’s budget), it must hire these additional positions on or after the official
grant award start date, above its current budge ted (funded) level of positions.
• Rehire personnel who have already been laid off (at time of the application) as a
result of state, local, or tribal budget cuts , it must rehire the personnel on or after the
official grant award start date and maintain documentation showing the dates(s) that
the positions were laid off and rehired.
• Maintain personnel who are (at the time of application) currently scheduled to be laid
off on a future date as a result of state, local, or tribal budget cuts. It must continue to
fund the personnel with its own funds from the grant award start date until the date of
the scheduled layoff (e.g., if the layoff is scheduled for October 1, then funds may not
be used to fund the personnel until October 1, the date of the scheduled layoff), and
maintain documentation showing the date(s) and reason(s) for the layoff. Please note
that as long as your agency can docume nt the date that the layoff would occur if the
grant funds were not available, it may transfer the personnel to the grant funding on or
immediately after the date of the layoff without formally completing the
administrative steps associated with a layoff for personnel.
Documentation that may be used to prove that the scheduled layoffs are occurring for local
economic reasons that are unrelated to the availability of grant funds may include (but are not
limited to) council or departmental meetings, memoranda , notices, or orders discussing the layoff,
notices provided to the individual personnel rega rding the date(s) of the layoff, and/or budget
documents ordering departmental and/or jurisdiction -wide budget cuts. These records must be
maintained with your co urt’s grant in the event of an audit, monitoring, or other evaluation of your
grant compliance.

nd 3 of 14
The 52 District Mental Health Court first received funding during the planning stages of the program in November 2021. Since that time, our
program has accepted 47 participants, and has had 17 successful graduates. Our program has developed a two-step screening process, that
involves a pre-screening to ensure basic eligibility, including no disqualifying offenses, a Misdemeanor offense pending, that the participant is an
Oakland County resident, and that they do not have or will not use Medical Marijuana. The participant then completes and ACCESS screening
and mental health assessment with our Oakland County Health Network Liaison, who connects them with community mental health services,
and confirms clinical eligibility. Finally, the participant completes a risk assessment and the team determines entry. Many participants struggle
with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders, and program treatment requirements are tailored to treat these
simultaneously. Our program has more closely reviewed our policies as a team since our 2023 SCAO Site Visits and will be implementing a
new Criminogenic Risk/ Needs Assessment Tool to ensure the program is best selecting participants with high risks and needs, both
criminogenically and clinically. Our grant request includes continued funding for this tool, as it is necessary to ensure we are meeting our target
population.
Our program team has worked within the past fiscal year especially to identify strengths and areas of growth within our policies and program
structure to ensure compliance with SCAO Best Practices, and to ensure the success of our participants and graduates beyond the program.
Our time using the Oakland County Network Liaison has allowed us to bring a necessary clinical perspective to the team, and to identify clinical
goals that should be met by our program.
As a result, we extended our program structure to include four phases that are more in line with the recommendations of the recently published
All Rise Best Practices and extend the program length to a minimum of 16 months. The first phase is a Stabilization Phase, during which time
the participant meets with the probation officer and clinical liaison weekly to offer resources as they stabilize basic necessities, resolve pending
cases, and establish core treatment. This phase lasts between one and three months, depending on the needs of the participant, and
participants are not weighed against each other through coins or points during this phase to ensure equity and account for all levels of needs.
Each participant can quickly advance through this phase and gain their first “win”. Once their needs are met, their environment is safe, and they
have a core treatment team, the participant is advanced to Phase 2, which will focus on giving them the clinical and professional tools to allow
them to meet their goals and the standards expected by the team. The participants begin earning “coins” for each week they comply and are
also required to work with the team to establish a constructive activity. Our team has a plan to implement virtual life skills classes, as organized
by our community mental health liaison, for each participant that will provide education on self-soothing, clinical practices, and professional skill
building. As the participants are in this phase, our team focuses on defining and building the expectations the program has for them. Upon
completion of the Phase Two requirements, the participant advances to Phase Three, which allows them to use their new tools to set goals
with the Oakland County Health Network Clinical Liaison, and to work with their treatment team to achieve some short-term goals. They
continue to earn coins in this section of the program and identify a mentor and support system. Finally, in Phase Four, the team works with the
participant to make plans for community integration, and long-term goals. The participant provides a letter from their support, must maintain at
least 90 days sobriety, as recommended by Best Practices, and makes an exit-plan, which includes a clinical plan and long-term goals, with
the Oakland County Health Network Liaison. The graduates write their “Story” in their own words and can either present it at graduation or turn
this story in. This new phase structure will better account for the abilities of new participants, account for varying levels of need, and will best
prepare future graduates to problem-solve beyond graduation. The Oakland Community Health Network Liaison is a critical part of this new
system and ensures that treatment and evidence-based practices are at the forefront of the participant’s program. Additionally, our grant
request accounts for the additional resources our participants will require during the stabilization phase, including incentives and funding for
monitoring services, such as tethers and drug testing.
Our program has also re-evaluated the needs of the team. Previously our participants were supervised by one probation officer that traveled
between the four courts. However, our program has since re-structured to include a new probation officer that screens and oversees the cases
in the 52-3 and 52-4 District Courts and has included a probation officer that screens the cases from the 52-4 District Court. The 52-3 and 52-4
District Court cases are now supervised in a combined docket at the 52-3 District Court, which has alleviated the travel for the Oakland
Community Health Network Liaison. Another probation officer supervises the cases for the 52-1 and 52-2District Courts. This new
organization has alleviated the strain on the team members, and allowed for the additional attention the participants need. Our grant will include
requests for continued training to ensure continuity with new team members.

The cost for the O akland C ommunity Health Network (O C HN) Liaison will increase for F Y 2025 as from O ctober 2023-F ebruary 2024, the
Liaison position c arried a roughly $36.8425/ hourly rate. Based on projections provided by O C HN for F Y 2025, we anticipate the rate will
increase to approximately $38.9944/ hour rate.
Additionally, our drug and alcohol testing, laboratory testing and electronic monitoring costs have increased. T he addition of the stabilization
phase will ensure that participants have time to stabilize als o financially, and the ability to partially fund testing for this phase will ensure sobriety
in a way that is attainable for them.
O ur vendor drug testing costs have increased. D rop Zone treatment court drug testing has increas ed from $8.00 per test to $10.00 in February
2024 as they have expanded the testing panel for additional substances to ensure c ompliance. Further, we have als o utilized other testing
agencies, such at R esults & TAP, to accommodate all the c ourts within our program. Unfortunately, the c os ts for testing at R esults & TAP are
roughly twice as much as what Drop Zone charges.
Additionally, Home Visit c os ts have increased as the hourly overtime rate for the O akland C ounty Sheriff’s D eputy has increased from F Y 2024
to F Y 2025. In F Y 2024, the D eputy’s rate was $79.38/ overtime hour. W hile F Y 2025 rates have not yet been releas ed, we have been advised
to account for a 5% cost of living increase which would make the per hour rate of $83.35. T herefore, we project the overtime expense at a not
to exceed $84.00/ hour of overtime.
Aside from increases covered above, are
you requesting more grant funds in this
application than the program was awarded
during the current fiscal year?:
Yes
Please explain why more funds are being

O ur F Y 2025 funding request has increased, in an attempt to better support our program and participants. First, the cost to fully fund the Mental
Health Liaison position, which is contracted through O akland C ounty Health Network will inc rease for F Y 2025. The liaison serves as a
necessary and critical member of the treatment team during the screening process as well as provides a vital connection to crisis intervention
and community mental health treatment during the participants’ program time. Their continued involvement can only occur with grant funding.
Additionally, our request has increased, as we have restructured our phases to better serve the needs of participants and to align with national
best practices. D uring the first stabilization phase, participants will require assistance with funding their tes ting and monitoring provisions to
ensure community safety and sobriety without placing a financial expec tation on them that they are not always capable of achieving. The
5 of 14
services that would ensure their success include drug and alcohol testing, lab confirmations, when nec es s ary, positive reinforcement services
such as gift cards, paying for interlock and/or portable alcohol testing devices when required within the program and providing items to help
participants gain organizational skills upon entry. Further we would like to be able to provide a graduation gift to all partic ipants who complete
our program to recognize their accomplishments.
Another service we would like to provide is the ability to have home visits with participants to gain a better understanding of their living situations,
which subsequently can allow us to provide more appropriate resources when necessary. Best practices indicates that frequent Home Visits
improve the participant’s success. W e are requesting an amount that will allow for more consistent home visits.
W e are requesting additional funds to allocate towards a part time position titled D istrict C ourt C lerk, which would be utilized to c onduc t data
entry and act as support staff for the four treatment court programs offered at 52-1 D istrict C ourt. After reviewing the information provided
through the S tate C ourt Administrative O ffice S ite Visits for certification, and evaluating the needs of our programs, it has become apparent that
our programs have grown to a point where it has become difficult for the corresponding teams to sufficiently address these clerical
requirements without reallocating tim e from our participants. D ata entry has been the responsibility of each individual treatment c ourt probation
officer in addition to case management and supervision throughout their programs. As a result, this data entry is conducted when time allows,
which is limited as we feel our participants should take priority. O ftentimes this data entry is conducted on a monthly bas is instead of daily to
weekly. Imm ediate data entry ensures accuracy and completeness, which is necessary for evaluating our program as required per Best
P ractices. This was reflected by our S ite Vis its, in the C ertification C orrection Forms which highlighted a number of data entry is s ues that were
missing and needed to be corrected. As a result, we believe a data entry position has become a necessary component for our program going
forward.
W e are asking for additional funding to c ontinue training for our new criminogenic risk/needs assessment tool, (L S -C MI), which will allow us to
comply with S C AO screening requirements for potential participants to ensure our program is accepting and properly placing those individuals
that are high risk and/or high needs, which is our target population.
Finally, we are asking for funds to be able to continue the treatment court education process for all team members by providing funding for
two members to attend the National All R ise C onference in 2025, while the remaining team members will attend the 2025 Michigan Association
of Treatment Court Professionals (MATCP) Conference. W e have added new team members to the treatment team, and this continued training
will provide them with the resources they need to navigate their roles.

District Court Clerk I / Data Entry: W e are requesting funds to allocate towards a part time position titled District Court Clerk, which would be
utilized to conduct data entry and act as support s taff for the four treatment court programs offered at 52-1 D istrict C ourt. T his position will be
part-time and at a not to exceed rate of $22 per hour. W hen factoring in full time employee performance of 2080 hours of work in a
calendar/fiscal year, this position would be capped at 1040 hours with hours distributed between the 52-1 D istrict C ourt D W I C ourt Program,
the 52-1 D istrict C ourt D rug C ourt P rogram, the 52-1 D istrict C ourt Veteran’s C ourt P rogram, and the 52nd D istrict C ourt Mental Health C ourt
Program. Due to the current number of participants in each program, the hours will be distributed in the following manner:
DW I Sobriety Court: 600 hours per fiscal year (600 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $13,200)
Drug Treatment Court: 200 hours per fiscal year (200 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $4,400)
Mental Health Court: 140 hours per fiscal year (140 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $3,080)
Veteran’s Treatment Court: 100 hours per fiscal year (100 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $2,200)
Total hours per fiscal year would be 1040 hours @ a not to exceed rate of $22/ hour.
Therefore, requested funding for this position would be $22,880 with $3,080 of this assigned to the Mental Health Treatment Court.
Calculation: 1040 hours x $22 per hour = $22,880.

Oakland Community He alth Ne twork (OCHN) Tre atme nt Liaison Office r: The OCHN Clinical Liaison is the program’s connection to
Community Mental Health and treatment. Our clinical liaison meets with participants as necessary during the program, coordinates between
their mental health treatment providers, connects participants to mental health treatment and ancillary services, and provides stabilization
resources related to basic needs. The clinical liaison is a critical part of the screening process for potential participants and completes an
ACCESS screening to connect them to services in addition to ensuring clinical eligibility and a preliminary diagnosis for the program. The
liaison completes evidence-based assessments during the program and screening. The liaison provides psychoeducation to team members
and participants during the program and ensures evidence-based treatment routes are being pursued by the team.
The clinical liaison will additionally develop and execute new Life S kills cours es under the re-structured program in F Y 2025, which provides
clinical and professional development to all participants.
The county is unable to fund the clinic al liaison, and grant funding solely funds this position. W ithout the grant funding for this position, the
program is unable to fund this position, which directly impacts our ability to maintain a program that complies with B est P ractic es and treatment
standards. W e are requesting grant funds to continue to fund this position.
Currently, the OCHN Liaison position is fully funded by the grant as a full-time employee with a projected FY 2025 costing balance of $81,108.41.
This costing includes both the salary ($61,609.12) and benefits ($19,499.29). These costing projections were provided by OCHN When tabulating
the total for both salary and benefits, the OCHN Liaison projects to $81,108.41 for full time employment (which is 2080 hours per fiscal year). This
figure comes to roughly $38.9943/ hour wages. As a result, when factoring in potential increases, we would project this position at a not to exceed
amount of $40 per hour.
Calculation: Per OCHN figures of Salary ($61,609.12) + Benefits ($19,499.29) = $81,108.41. This officer would be full time 40 hours per week,

M onitoring/ GPS te the rs, Portable Alcohol M onitoring De v ice s, Inte rlock Units: W e are seeking grant funds for electronic monitoring.
This would include GPS tethers, Alcohol tethers, Portable Alcohol Monitoring Devices and Interlock units. W e have worked with our contracted
agencies to provide the best prices for participants, and we utilize the Michigan Fund for Indigent participants that are required to install and
maintain an interlock. However, these costs cannot be completely covered by these sources.
Electronic Monitoring is necessary for the success of our participants, as it assists in ensuring sobriety, allows for relapses to be more
immediately detected and addressed and assists in keeping the community safe by either preventing vehicle operation if the participant is
intoxicated or by more quickly addressing the use of substances. Furthermore, it allows a more accessible option for in home testing, should
the participant require monitoring, but have limited transportation to urine alcohol testing.
GPS tethers are also necessary to give the victim of the crime comfort and an additional form of monitoring for high-risk defendants. This is
also sometimes necessary for high risk defendants in order for the victim and Prosecutor to consider entry into Mental Health Court.
Funding these types of testing is reasonable, as many participants, especially in the first Stabilization Phase, struggle to maintain the cost of
testing, but also have a high risk of relapsing before their treatment begins.
During the period of stabilization, which is the first phase, many participants struggle to maintain the cost of testing, but also have a high risk of
relapsing before their treatment begins. The companies that we would use for these services are as follows: Electronic Monitoring Services House
Arrest Services, Home Confinement, Nationwide, Smart Start & Total Court Services. We have partnered with the previously mentioned companies
who have agreed that enrollment expenses for the various units will not exceed $75 and the per day cost of any unit will not exceed $10 per day.
As a result, we are asking for funds to cover enrollment expenses not to exceed $75 as well as the daily costs of the various Electronic
Monitoring/Interlock devices at a not to exceed $10 per day cost over a standard 30-day time frame. Currently our program has 16 active
participants, roughly 50% of which have an Electronic Monitoring device of some type. Using that as our baseline, we project to have 18 new
participants admitted in FY 2025. This number is calculated based on the fact that we averaged 18 new participants during both FY 2022 & FY
2023 with 10 new participants through the first 6 months of FY 2024, which would project us to have 20 new participants for all of FY 2024.
Therefore, we would like the ability to fund the approximately 10 participants in FY 2025 that will require an Electronic Montioring device of some
sort. these projected 10 participants for 3 months of service. Therefore, we are requesting $9,750.
Calculation: Enrollment $75 + ((30 days funded at $10/ day) = $300 x 3 months of funding = $900)) = $975 per participant. Therefore $975
participant x 10 participants = $9,750.
CRNA: We are requesting funds to be able to gain training and certification for our backup Mental Health Court Officers through the LS-CMI
system. In FY 2024, our court as able to transition to an approved and acceptable criminogenic risk/needs assessment tool for our Treatment
Court population. Due to budget constraints, we only requested training for the primary treatment court officers, but feel that obtaining training for
the programs backups is also logical. Considering that our Mental Health Court encompasses all 4 divisions of the 52nd District Court, with 2
primary Mental Health Treatment Court Probation Officers, we are requesting funding to obtaining training for the 2 primary backup Mental Health
Court Probation Officers as well. When the primary Mental Health Court Offices are not available, our back up officers are able to handle most of
the other aspects of Mental Health Court, but unfortunately are not able to conduct the validated criminogenic risk/needs assessment due to the
training restrictions. Therefore, we believe it’s in the programs continued best interests to make sure that these backup officers are fully trained on
the program, including this assessment tool, to ensure that our program can continue with little to no issues in the event our primary Mental Health
Court Treatment Officers are not available.
Based on invoices from Multi Health Systems (MHS), which is the parent company that provides the LS-CMI, the cost to train and certify a user is
$779, which is broken down into the following ways. The cost of on demand training is $635 per user and the Training Kit and Manual is $144. The
total of the training for 1 new user is projected at $779, therefore, to obtain training for both backup Mental Health Treatment Court officers would
be $1558.00. Additionally, the cost to purchase actual “uses” which is how MHS classifies the number of participants that are screened via the LS-
CMI, are $12.75 per ‘uses’. We anticipate accepting 18 new participants into the Mental Health Treatment Court program during FY 2025 due to
the following factors. Through FY 2022 & FY 2023 we have averaged 18 new participants, and currently, through the first 6 months of FY 2024, we
have accepted 9 new participants. As a result, we project that maintaining 18 new admissions for FY 2025 is a realistic goal, especially with the
9 of 14
previously mentioned modifications to our program. As each of those 18 new participants will need to comply with screening through the LS-CMI,
we project that we will at would equate to $229.50. Therefore, we are requesting $1,787.50 to be able to fully train the backup Mental Health
Treatment Court Probation Officers as well as purchase 18 “uses” through the LS-CMI to be able to screen new participants as they enter the
program.
Calculation: $635 (On Demand Training) + $144 (Training Kit & Manual) = $779 x 2 = $1,558.
$12.75 (per use for LS-CMI) x 18 participants = $229.50.
$1,558 (Cost of training) + $229.50 (cost to purchase uses for the LS-CMI) = $1,787.50.
Alcohol/ Drug Te sting: During a portion of FY 2024 we were able to utilize some of our grant funds to assist participants in off-setting the cost of
alcohol and/or drug testing. Many participants were required to complete testing as a condition of the program to help monitor the participants
medications. The ability to offset the cost of testing for some was extremely helpful in cases where the participant was struggling financially. The
feedback we received from those participants was that by paying for some of their testing, they felt this supported them at a time when they had
only limited resources. Participation in this program is completely voluntary, which is typically an indication of their desire to obtain stability in their
lives. Many of our participants enter in the program with active addiction issues in addition to the primary mental health struggles. Funding this
testing as the participants try to balance this new system financially keeps the participants focused, without adding to the participants’ already high
levels of stress and financial concerns.
While in FY 2024, we were only able to assist a select few participants with their testing fees, for FY 2025, we are seeking funding to provide
assistance with drug and alcohol monitoring for each participant to offset the cost of their first 30 tests in the program. This will provide the
participant ample time to concentrate on stabilizing their medications instead of self-medicating with illegal or other controlled substances, find
employment and build their support system without the increased stress and financial burden of the cost of testing. The testing agencies that are
currently vendors with Oakland County for this service are Drop Zone, TAP (Class A Training) and Results. In the case of Drop Zone, which is
located in Wixom, they already offer testing at a discounted rate for our treatment court participants which is $10 per test (drug and alcohol). Drop
Zone utilizes a specialized pbt straw that has a built-in screen designed to filter out airborne virus’s and partials, including the COVID -1 virus. This
filter provides both the tester and participant a safer and healthier testing environment, which is especially beneficial considering the continued
concerns regarding COVID-19 variants. Testing charges at TA & Results are twice as much as Drop Zone, which is $20 per test however,
considering our program encompasses all 4 divisions of the 52nd District Courts, we needed to find a testing agency that was also central to those
other courts, which Results is able to do as they have offices in Pontiac in Troy. Therefore, all calculations are figured at the most expensive rate.
Our program’s maximum capacity is 26 participants, however, when reviewing the admissions numbers for the past FY 2022 & FY 2023, we have
averaged 18 new admissions and are currently on track for 18 new admissions in FY 2024. Based on this, we will project to have 18 new
admissions in FY 2025. As a result, we would like to fund the expected 18 participants that will enter during FY 2025 Figuring $20 per test x 30
tests = $600. Then factoring that cost over the estimated 18 participants that will enter during FY 2025 comes out to $10,800.
Calculation: (30 day x $20 per test) = $600 x 18 participants = $10,800.
Oakland County She riff De puty Ov e rtime / Home Visits: Home Visits are an essential element of the Mental Health Court procedures an are
critical to the participant’s and program’s success. Home Visits offer insight into the participant’s home environment to identify needs not previously
communicated or known to the team, and also allows the team another avenue to evaluate the participants potential for harm to themselves or the
community. For participants struggling to maintain their own basic needs, a view inside their home may be the first time the provider and team are
aware of the need for further treatment intervention. The 52nd District Court, encompasses over 30 jurisdictions within Oakland County. Some of
the agencies only have 2-3 police officers on the road at any given time. Requesting those agencies pull an officer of the road from patrol to assist
with home visits creates not only a hardship within the department, but also the potential of reducing community safety during that time. While some
jurisdictions are covered by various cities and municipalities, all are within the scope of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department. As a result, the
ability to utilize an Oakland County Sheriff’s Deputy has allowed us to traverse these multiple jurisdictions more efficiently and expeditiously.
Therefore, we are requesting approximately 8 hours of overtime eac h month for a D -II/ P atrol D eputy to conduct home visits on a monthly basis
for the entire 12 month period of F Y 2025. At the time this grant was submitted, the exact per overtime hour cost of a D -II/ Patrol D eputy was
unknown. Therefore, the cost was calculated at the known 2024 expense of $79.38 per hour x 5% increase whic h would equate to $83.35 per
10 of 14
hour. As a result, our figures are calculated at a not to exceed rate of $84 per hour.
Calculation: ($84 / hour x 8 hours per month) = $672 x 12 months = $8,064
Laboratory Drug Testing: An issue identified this year is the increased use in designer drugs such as K ratom and Fentanyl within the mental
health court population. Additionally, there have been occasions where participants have tested positive on their drug screen, for substances
they are not pres c ribed, but denied actual us e. As a result, the only way to c onfirm if a participant is com pliant with their medication regiment
and not self-medicating is by sending their s amples to a lab for confirmation. W hile mos t of these confirming tests will be the responsibility of
the participants, lab testing can be costly as confirmation costs can vary from $20 to $50. At times where participants are unable to afford these
confirmation tests, we would request funds to be able to confirm a participants compliance or non-com plianc e with their medications. B ased on
the laboratory costs through D rop Zone as well as through R es ults, we would submit at a not to exc eed amount of $50 per tes t. W hile there
have been approximately 25 individual events each month where participants are required to have their urine samples confirmed, there are
usually only two occasions on average per month, where finances are a factor. Therefore, we would calculate this as paying for 2 participants,
1 time per month (which is $50 per month) multiplied over 12 months would equal $1,200.
Calculation: ($50 per confirmation x 2 per month) = $100 x 12 month = $1,200.

Gift Cards / Incentives: Our program is requesting funds to purchase gift cards as an inc entive-based approach to encourage compliance.
P ositive reinforcement of a participant’s mental health has proven to be extremely useful in getting the participant to want to maintain their
treatment compliance and sobriety. In F Y 2024, our program created a new “coin” system , which allows the participants compliance to directly
correlate to the inc entives they rec eive and allows them to choose an incentive by exchanging their “coins” for the incentive that best supports
their interests and needs. Gift cards are always a favorite option among our participants and allow the incentives to be individualized. T herefore,
we would ask to be able to purc has e gift cards, at a not to exceed amount of $20 per card to help encourage sober behaviors . Estimating that
15 of the projected 18 participants will receive a gift c ard eac h month, at a cost of $20 per gift card, for a total of $300 per month. O ver a 12
month period the cost would be $3,600.
Calculations: ($20 gift cards x 15 participants per month) = $300 x 12 months = $3,600.

which contains a folder or binder, motivational notebook, calendar and writing utensil. W hen a participant enters the first phase of mental health
court, they increase the amount of appointments, court monitoring requirements and ancillary services they interact with in a given month. Many
participants do not have access to organizational tools, such as a planner, that allows them to take control of their responsibilities and to ensure
proper attendance with treatment and psychiatric c are. B y providing them with the ability to organize their court paperwork and appointments,
participants have a greater chance of success. W e have witnessed that those that do have these items and that utilized a folder and/or planner
were more consistent with court attendance, reliably brought proof of ancillary meetings and treatment documents to appointments and were
less likely to miss appointments with community mental health that are required to begin medication and treatment services, such as the
screening to complete the Individual P lan of S ervice. If the participant is dis organiz ed and mis s es these critical early appointments, it prolongs
their time in the program, discourages them from continuing and delays medication and treatment. B ased on past years admissions combined
with current fiscal year projec tions, we appear to average 18 new participants each fiscal year. T herefore, we project roughly 18 new
participants will enter the program in FY 2025.
B y searching the O ffice D epot, who has a vendor contract with O akland C ounty P urchasing, we found the following: A pack of 12 Three R ing
O ne inc h Binders would be approximately $25, so this cost would be roughly $2 per participant. A pack of 6 W irebound Notebooks, 3-Hole
P unched, 8" x 10 1/2", 1 Subject, C ollege R uled, 70 Sheets, As s orted C olors, is approximately $15 which would work out to roughly $2.50 per
participant. Further, obtaining a day P lanner (calendar) for each participant is estimated at $15.00 per calendar. T herefore, when factoring in the
above, we are as king for funds to purchase supplies at a not to exceed rate of $20 per partic ipant, which multiplying that by the estimated 18
participants entering the program in FY 2025, would work out to $360.
Calculation: 18 participants x $20/ participant in welcome supplies = $360
Graduation Gift: E ac h participant that successfully c ompletes the entire program will rec eive a graduation gift at their graduation ceremony,
which is a token of their commitment and reminder of their perseverance as they continue to reach new personal goals. W e currently have
16 active participants in our program, and project that 90% will successfully complete the program, so would estimate approximately 15
successful graduates in F Y 2025. Going on that assumption we would ask for the ability to purchase a gift not to exc eed $20 per participant x
15 would equal a total of $300.
Calculation: $20 per gift x 15 participants = $300.
Zoom License: We have found that having the ability to allow a participant to zoom in for a court hearing has been extremely beneficial
especially when the participant is in the later stages of the program and has earned this level of reward, or in those cases where the participant
lacks reliable transportation. We have utilized this ability for monitoring appointments as this is a type of reward that the participants can use
once they achieve enough c oins. However, there are times where the partic ipant is in crisis and having the ability to meet with them over zoom
has help keep their progress moving forward. D uring past fiscal years, ZO O M was also used to complete the first step of the screening
process, as candidates are often in transitional housing or do not have transportation to complete. This screening takes at least one hour, as
the officer has to gather the information for their file and go over the program, which is not accommodated by the free ZO O M subscription.
Additionally, participants are allowed to have their guardian present for screenings and appointments, and the free version of ZO O M restricts
the amount of individuals allowed in the ZOOM meeting. For some participants, 40 minutes is not enough as a result they are forced to end their
session with the probation officer or mental health liaison then log back in. W e have found this to be extremely disruptive and unproductive to
the participants success. To combat this, our Mental Health C ourt officer has purchased her own zoom license to fac ilitate these
accommodations, which we feel is an unjust expens e incurred. As a result, we are asking to be able to purchase a 12 month B usines s License
which is $199.90.
Calculation: 12 month Business Zoom License = $199.90.
