Board Meeting | CCAB - May 7, 2026

The Wayne County Community Corrections Advisory Board held a meeting on May 7, 2026, focusing primarily on the approval and discussion of the fiscal year 2027 grant application to the Michigan Department of Corrections. The board reviewed detailed funding proposals for various community corrections programs addressing criminogenic needs such as criminal personality, antisocial attitudes, and social isolation. They discussed maintaining current programs with some adjustments, including trauma-informed care, domestic violence and anger management modules, and violence prevention programs, with a total funding request of $900,000, including $630,000 for programming and $270,000 for administrative costs capped at 30%. The board also addressed challenges in program enrollment and utilization, the need for improved branding and website updates to increase awareness and referrals, and plans for quarterly stakeholder meetings to enhance collaboration. A motion to approve the grant application was passed unanimously. Additionally, staffing reductions due to budget cuts were noted, with efforts underway to improve court presence and referral processes to maximize program utilization.
