BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: March 16, 2021
Background: The Bridge, Inc. is recognized as service provider of the counselors that enter the home to work with area youth. In allowing for counseling at home, the hope is to avert the Juvenile Judge dispatching the youth to a governmental facility.
Baldwin County initially received Agency Grant Agreement funds in 2009. The annual renewal funds are used to provide non-residential services for Baldwin County youth who would otherwise be committed to the ADYS.
The Baldwin County Commission will pay The Bridge, Inc. as invoiced monthly and will be reimbursed quarterly by ADYS.
