BACKGROUND: 

The term of the funding appropriation, if awarded, will be from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. The Supreme Court of Nevada, Administrative Office of the Courts is seeking applications on the fiscal year 2022 general fund appropriation for a new program or enhancing an existing Specialty Court program. Specialty Courts are judicial problem-solving programs designed to address the root causes that contribute to criminal activity. This program furthers the Department's mission by providing resources to all Nevada courts.

Currently, the Las Vegas Justice Court Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) program is only for veterans of the Armed Forces of the United States of America. During the 12-month appropriation period, VTC is seeking to enhance their program to provide substance abuse treatment and wrap-around services for approximately 75 participants. Attached hereto is the application for state assistance.
