Summary: In 2010, the Circuit Court of Cook County was awarded a Second Chance Act Reentry Demonstration Program Grant 2010-RW-BX-046 from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs. The grant award of $547,673.00, spanned the period from 10/1/2010 - 9/30/2012. The entire award amount was advanced but actual program costs were $520,791.62, with a remaining balance of $26,881.38. That difference was credited to county corporate accounts in 2015 with the understanding that expenses would ultimately be reallocated to the grant. However, that turned out not to be the case. Therefore, the U.S. Department of Justice will be refunded the $26,881.38, with a charge to current period operations.
