Required next actionConfirm the county is eligible and in good standing with PCCD, verify agency registration in Egrants with at least two users and one e-signature role, review the county-specific maximum in Appendix A, coordinate with the Single County Authority and licensed drug-and-alcohol or mental-health treatment providers, complete the required Criminal Justice Advisory Board support letter, Intermediate Punishment Plan, information sheet, authorization form, narrative and line-item budget, and electronically sign and submit the application in Egrants by September 17, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET.

Broad Eligibility

Only Pennsylvania counties may apply directly. Counties must comply with Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing standards and regulations, participate in required program evaluation, and remain in good standing with PCCD. The program is designed to fund treatment and supportive services for people under county probation with restrictive conditions, including drug and alcohol assessment and treatment, mental-health treatment, peer support, case management and related services. Treatment providers participate through the county application and budget rather than as direct applicants.

Atlas Analysis

High-value Pennsylvania justice-health opportunity because the $17.726 million program explicitly prioritizes substance-use and mental-health treatment over supervision costs and encourages coordination with licensed treatment providers and Single County Authorities. Healthcare and behavioral-health organizations should treat this primarily as a county-partnership opportunity, helping an eligible county build immediate treatment capacity, evidence-based clinical pathways, care coordination and measurable diversion and recidivism outcomes.
