Summary: The Justice Advisory Council’s No Place To Stay (NPTS) housing program provides housing for individuals ordered onto the Sheriff’s Office pre-trial electronic monitoring (EM) but who lack sufficient housing where EM could be implemented. These individuals, deemed “No Place To Stay,” would otherwise have to wait in the jail for their pre-trial period to resolve or their electronic monitoring condition of release to be removed. The JAC has retained providers to supply housing and other wraparound services as appropriate for these individuals, with operational support from the Sheriff’s Office and Cook County Health, so they do not have to unnecessary spend that time in the jail.
This payment approval seeks to rectify and close out invoice reimbursements for Fiscal Year 2023. Specifically, payment to St. Leonard’s Ministries for an invoice submitted after the close of Fiscal Year 2023 that seeks reimbursement for housing one (1) individual not previously accounted for.
