Re: Michigan Drug Court Grant Program Award Notification
52-2 District Court — DWI Sobriety Court
SCAO UI: U10036
Dear Chief Judge Reeds:
I am pleased to inform you that your application for funding through the Michigan Drug
Court Grant Program (MDCGP) has been approved. On behalf of the State Court Administrative
Office (SCAO), I am delighted to award your court a grant in the amount of $12,000 to support
your problem-solving court program. This award is for the grant period October 1, 2024,
through September 30, 2025, and is contingent upon SCAO being awarded and receiving federal
grant awards in the full amount requested.
Your court’s fiscal year 2025 contract will be e-mailed from DocuSign to your project
director, Carol Bond. Please review the contract carefully and sign it by December 13, 2024.
The budget, based on your court’s actual award, must be updated in WebGrants by November 1,
2024. Instructions for revising your budget are attached to the message your project director will
receive from WebGrants.
Each year we receive grant requests that greatly exceed the total amount spent in the
preceding fiscal year and available funding for awards to courts. Your total grant award is based
on what we believe it will cost to operate your program as you did last year plus any planned
expansion, enhanced services, and/or cost increases.
Additionally, SCAO will continue considering requests for grant reallocations throughout
the fiscal year. A reallocation is a mid-year decrease or increase of your grant award. For
example, a program that needs additional grant funding may request a reallocation to increase the

program’s grant award. On the other hand, a court may not spend their entire award, and funds
may be reallocated to courts needing additional funding. Reallocation requests are submitted in
WebGrants, and SCAO staff review and make reallocation determinations after second-quarter
claims are submitted and after third-quarter claims are submitted. A reallocation that decreases
or increases a program’s grant award is based on actual prior spending and projected spending
for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The Michigan Supreme Court and SCAO is confident that your project will have
significant impact, and we look forward to seeing continued positive outcomes. We commend
your dedication and commitment to these lifesaving programs and thank you for making a
positive difference in so many lives.
Should you have questions about the grant or need assistance regarding best practices,
please contact Andrew Smith at 517-373-0954 or at smitha@courts.mi.gov. For assistance in
publicizing the success of your court, please contact John Nevin at 517-373-0129 or
nevinj@courts.mi.gov.
Sincerely,
Thomas P. Boyd
State Court Administrator
