STATE FUNDING

In fiscal year 2003, the department reapplied for Diversion Program grants and Community Corrections Program funding to fund the department's fiscal year '04 - '05 programs. Funding proposals were submitted to continue departmental programs. These included Central Texas Treatment Center, Pre-trial Release Program, Electronic Monitoring, Sex Offender Program, Special Needs Caseload, Ignition Interlock Caseload, and the Substance Abuse Caseload. 

The Pre-Trial Services and Electronic Monitoring grants were not renewed in FY2004. The state agency that approves the grants did not fund programs in these categories in FY2004. The programs were continued using local funds and other grants.

The CTTC received a grant award of $1,977,971 and Supervision funding was $893,818.  Additionally, Community Corrections Program (CCP) money was used to fund the department's Sex Offender Caseload ($234,229), Electronic Monitoring ($50,906), and the Ignition Interlock Caseload ($89,745). The Substance Abuse Program, Special Needs Caseload and CTTC received funds from the Diversion Program (DP) monies in FY '04.

In addition to the state funding received, the department collected $2,196,619 from offenders to operate the programs and pay for the costs of community supervision. The following table compares funding from fiscal years '02 - '04:
