Explanation
(This amendment provides $120,000 from the general fund the second year for Catawba Regional Partnership. The funding will be used for two regional jail/court case management positions to provide services in the courts and jails which serve residents from Roanoke City, Salem, Covington, Clifton Forge, and the counties of Roanoke, Botetourt, Alleghany, and Craig. These positions will reduce repeat incarcerations for jail inmates/repeat offenders with mental health issues and would assist in connecting court involved individuals experiencing mental health issues to the necessary services that would meet their psychiatric and cast management needs and thus reduce the number of repeat offenders and subsequent incarcerations.)
