| H79TI087257↗ | Department of Health and Human Services | COUNTY OF SUMMIT | PROJECT GRANT (B) | 2026-01-13 | 2026-07-22 | 4 | EXPANSION AND ENHANCEMENT OF SUMMIT COUNTY VALOR COURT - SUMMIT COUNTY VALOR COURT IS DEDICATED TO ADDRESSING THE INTRICATE NEEDS OF JUSTICE-INVOLVED VETERANS IN SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO, PARTICULARLY THOSE GRAPPLING WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS (SUDS) AND CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS. A PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS GRANT PROJECT IS TO OPTIMIZE REFERRAL PATHWAYS, STREAMLINE SERVICE ACCESS, AND ENHANCE CASE MANAGEMENT TO ENSURE THE EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF EVIDENCE-BASED DUAL DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT AND PEER RECOVERY SUPPORT. MOREOVER, VALOR COURT SEEKS TO ENHANCE THE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF VETERAN DEFENDANT IDENTIFICATION AND REFERRAL/ADMISSION COORDINATION PROCESSES, WITH THE AIM OF EXPEDITING AND INCREASING ADMISSIONS INTO THE PROGRAM WHILE ENSURING EQUITABLE TREATMENT FOR ALL FOCUS POPULATIONS. LASTLY, THE PROJECT STRIVES TO OFFER DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION (DEI), TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE, AND RELATED TRAININGS TO INCREASE AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING, AND GUIDE ENGAGEMENT OF ALL STAKEHOLDERS IN SERVING UNDERREPRESENTED AND TRAUMA-IMPACTED VETERAN POPULATIONS. VALOR COURT'S CURRENT DEMOGRAPHIC MAKE-UP OF RACE IS 63% CAUCASIAN FOLLOWED BY 31% AFRICAN AMERICAN AND 6% HISPANIC. IN TERMS OF ETHNICITY, 94% ARE NON-LATINO AND 6% ARE LATINO. ENGLISH IS THE FIRST LANGUAGE FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS. THE MAJORITY ARE MALE, BOTH IN TERMS OF SEX (89% MALE, 11% FEMALE) AND GENDER IDENTITY (89% MALE, 11% FEMALE), WITH NO REPORTED NON-BINARY OR OTHER IDENTITIES. SEXUAL ORIENTATION SHOWS A MAJORITY HETEROSEXUAL (91%) AND A MINORITY IDENTIFYING AS LESBIAN/GAY/BISEXUAL+ (9%). AGE DISTRIBUTION IS AS FOLLOWS: 8% ARE AGED 18-28, 64% ARE AGED 29-39, 16% ARE AGED 40-50, AND 12% ARE AGED 60 OR OLDER. IN TERMS OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, 74% FALL INTO THE LOW CATEGORY, WHILE 26% ARE CLASSIFIED AS MEDIUM. THE CATCHMENT AREA SERVING THESE INDIVIDUALS FACES SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES IN ADDRESSING SUDS AND CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS, WITH RATES SURPASSING NATIONAL AVERAGES. SPECIFIC TO VALOR COURT PARTICIPANTS, 95% STRUGGLE WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, 75% ALSO GRAPPLE WITH CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS SUCH AS PTSD. DISPARITIES IN ACCESS TO CARE AND PROLONGED WAIT TIMES FOR TREATMENT FURTHER COMPOUND THESE CHALLENGES, ALONGSIDE FUNDING CONSTRAINTS AND SUBOPTIMAL REFERRAL PROCESSES. WITHOUT ADEQUATE RESOURCES AND STAFFING, VALOR COURT RISKS BEING UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE CRITICAL NEED FOR COMPREHENSIVE AND CULTURALLY COMPETENT CARE, HIGHLIGHTING THE NECESSITY FOR IMPROVED SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE RECOVERY OF VETERANS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE PRIMARY EXPECTED OUTCOMES OF PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ARE TO ACHIEVE A 95% ABSTINENT RATE AT DISCHARGE FOR PARTICIPANTS WITHIN 15 MONTHS, AN 80% SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION RATE WITHIN 15 MONTHS, AND TO IDENTIFY 95% OF ALL VETERAN FELONY DEFENDANTS IN SUMMIT COUNTY AND COMPLETE 80% OF VALOR COURT ELIGIBILITY SCREENS WITHIN 10 DAYS OF SCREEN BEING ORDERED BOTH WITHIN 1 MONTH OF GRANT AWARD. OVER THE DURATION OF THE PROJECT, VALOR COURT ANTICIPATES SERVING A TOTAL OF 200 UNDUPLICATED INDIVIDUALS, WITH AN ANNUAL TARGET OF 40 PARTICIPANTS BENEFITING FROM ITS COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT SERVICES. THE PROJECT'S SUCCESS WILL BE MEASURED NOT ONLY BY QUANTITATIVE METRICS BUT ALSO BY QUALITATIVE IMPROVEMENTS IN PARTICIPANT OUTCOMES. THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATIONS LIKE ORIANA HOUSE INC. AND THE SUMMA TRAUMATIC STRESS CENTER, VALOR COURT SEEKS TO CREATE A CONTINUUM OF CARE THAT PROMOTES EQUITABLE ACCESS TO CULTURALLY COMPETENT SERVICES FOR ALL JUSTICE-INVOLVED VETERANS. BY LEVERAGING COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND IMPLEMENTING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES, VALOR COURT AIMS TO EMPOWER PARTICIPANTS TO OVERCOME BARRIERS TO RECOVERY AND SUCCESSFULLY REINTEGRATE INTO SOCIETY, THEREBY ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY WELL-BEING. | $400.0K |
