48 <br /> Slide #12 <br /> • <br /> • <br /> Quintana Stewart said that $510,000 still remains if all recommendations are funded. <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked if the committee would do rolling assessments for future <br /> distributions. <br /> Quintana Stewart said at the next committee meeting they would formalize the future <br /> process for requests for funding. <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked if the grants were previously covered by state grants. <br /> Quintana Stewart said they were grants from DHHS that were coming to an end. <br /> Commissioner Richards said one of the priorities was early intervention. She said there <br /> were no 0-18 in any category in diversion, and it seems the focus is on re-entry. She asked if <br /> there are no 0 to 18-year-olds involved and what is the plan to service the strategy of early <br /> intervention. <br /> Cait Fenhagen, Criminal Justice Resource Director, said there is a separate youth <br /> diversion program and that it was funded by the county. <br /> Commissioner Richards said she was interested in the plan for early intervention for the <br /> future. <br /> Cait Fenhagen said it is a priority overall. She said it is one of the listed priorities so they <br /> will be looking for applicants from the community. She said there will be more intervention <br /> proposals in the future. <br /> Quintana Stewart said there are representatives from the schools on the committee. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton said she would be interested in the community assessment and <br /> hearing from people not involved with the justice system. <br /> Quintana Stewart said they want to use the sequential intercept mapping system. She <br /> said they are in the process of finalizing that system specifically for opioid mitigation strategies <br /> and they have been in touch with a facilitator that uses that system. <br /> Commissioner Greene said the recommended projects are a responsive process to the <br /> community. <br /> Chair Bedford asked if anyone from Housing is on the committee. <br />
