You can access the FY23 COSSUP Solicitation here; Hope recommends exploring applying for COSSUP funding when the next solicitation comes out in March, including potentially funding staff in DHHS to expedite assessments.
We recommend signing up for the COSSUP listserv to receive information about webinars, newsletters, funding opportunities, and other announcements.
You can sign up for the PTACC listserv here - in addition to sharing deflection-related news and research, this newsletter also includes events and funding opportunities.
A couple of resources on Veterans Deflection: Veteran Intercepts in the Criminal Justice System Report and Community Policing Dispatch: Veteran Intercepts in the Criminal Justice System (this issue of the Community Policing Dispatch highlights additional resources, including infographics and a four-part webinar series)
We also wanted to mention that RTI, the TA Center for prosecutorial-led diversion, is also the state-level TA provider for the Wisconsin state grant - they can be a great resource to you as well.
Evidence-based Considerations for Screening Deflection Participants
Will send more resources and recommendations regarding your transportation challenges, but I wanted to make note of Hope's recommendation to contact your regional USDA offices to see if they have any vehicles available for repurposing, or other resources that may be available.
