Narrative:
Federal funds received by the Department of Corrections (DOC) represent a very small portion of the agency budget (less than 1%), but it allows the agency to focus on areas of interest that would not normally fit within the constraints of a very tight budget.  Some examples include screening for offenders with traumatic brain injuries, working to reduce recidivism for release violators and collaborating with other agencies and counties to address mental health and chemical dependency issues.   Approximately 25% of federal grants received by the DOC require a match.  In some instances a cash match is required, however the majority is in-kind match provided by either DOC personnel, contractors or collaborating agencies.  None of the grants require maintenance of effort.  Approximately 75% of the grants received by the DOC pass through other state agencies including the Departments of Education, Public Safety and Human Services.  The balance of the grant awards are received directly from federal agencies.  Revenue estimates are based on budgets associated with specific competitive grant awards and anticipated revenue for ongoing grants, such as those received through the Department of Education.   If reductions in federal funding were to occur, the DOC would be limited in its ability to pursue evidence based practices in collaboration with other agencies and stakeholders.  There would also be a negative impact on the resources available to deal with offenders with various aforementioned complex issues.  The potential impact of sequestration could be significant, as projections from the National Criminal Justice Association indicate that, under current law, it would cut 8.2% from nearly every federal program beginning January 2, 2013 with similar cuts every year through 2021.
