Component Jail/Arrest Diversion Program: The City of Somerville will use grant funds to continue its police department's jail/arrest diversion program to provide an array of pre-arrest and pre-arraignment diversion from arrest services for Somerville residents that are impacted by behavioral health challenges. The Somerville JDP program is staffed by 1 FTE clinician, although part of their time (0.45 FTE) is supported by another grant. The program provides safe and appropriate assessment, clinical supports, in-depth referrals and follow-up to Somerville residents who have behavioral health and/or addiction challenges who are at risk of arrest and incarceration. The JDP coordinator works synergistically with the COHR (Community Outreach, Help and Recovery) unit. The JDP coordinator works with Somerville officers on scene in non-emergency cases to encourage connection to supports. Staff may also provide supports, de-escalate crisis and work on a follow-up basis as well. Staff may help individuals who are summoned or before the court navigate the justice system and find treatment-based solutions instead of jail. Behavioral health-related trainings/conferences may be considered for grant support during this contract term, subject to prior approval by DMH. The clinician records appropriate incidents in the JDP database. Please be advised that contracting beyond Quarter 1 of Fiscal Year 2026 is subject to DMH’s final appropriation level.

WALSH Secretary BROOKE DOYLE Commissioner [phone removed] www.mass.gov/dmh TO: All FY25 JDP Grant Participants FROM: Brooke Doyle, Commissioner DATE: June 20, 2025 RE: DMH Jail Diversion Grant Extensions for FY2026 ___________________________________________________________________________________ Greetings Jail Diversion Grantees, We are reaching out to provide guidance on our operational strategy to preserve vital Jail/Arrest Diversion Grant programs while the process for finalizing the Fiscal 2026 is completed. DMH does not expect to have our final appropriation levels for the Jail Diversion Grant program until well into the first quarter of the new fiscal. Therefore, we intend to initially fund short-term awards (75 days) to programs that employ staff, effective 7/1/2025. Until the funding for Fiscal year 2026 is finalized, we are unable to offer full-year grant terms. Using the funding available to DMH for this period will result in full expenditure of available funding. When the final appropriation funding level is known, we will reach out with updated contracting guidance. We apologize for any inconvenience or local uncertainty grantees may experience because of a shorter- term contracting period. We truly value the work of our grantees and our local community partnerships are invaluable to our shared goals of supporting safer communities. With this plan to apply funding in a shorter contract term period, we are trying to balance the needs for organizations that employ staff to preserve continuity of existing approved grant program operations with the current fiscal conditions. It is our sincere hope that state appropriations for the Jail Diversion grant program will ultimately be set to the levels needed for full year operations for all staffed programs that desire continued participation. However, please be advised that contracting beyond Quarter 1 of Fiscal Year 2026 is subject to the final appropriation level. As is the case with all state appropriated funding, final appropriation levels may be subject to emergency actions if the Commonwealth’s overall fiscal conditions cannot be sustained due to unforeseen circumstances. We thank you in advance for your participation and understanding. We value your earnest partnership with us on this worthwhile initiative, and we remain hopeful, with you, for its future.
