Money helps county to find options for kids in court system
FORT WAYNE – Coming up with alternatives for Allen County juveniles who have broken laws and are now involved in the court system will be a continuing initiative after the county commissioners Friday accepted a grant from the Indiana Department of Correction.
The initial grant, which expired June 30, was extended for another year, and an additional $92,440 will go toward local programs and staffing, said Megan Horton, coordinator for the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative.
