end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Receive an update on the Community Corrections Act (CCA) Subsidy.
SUMMARY
The CCA Subsidy is state funding provided to counties in Minnesota that have opted into the CCA system. This funding supports local delivery of correctional services including probation, supervised release, parole, and related community-based interventions.
Subsidy amounts are determined by a state formula designed to provide equitable and needs-based funding. The formula includes a base funding amount, and a capitated rate based on the number and type of individuals under supervision.
For State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2025, Dakota County received a CCA Subsidy of $8,668,778.
For SFY 2026, the County will receive $8,453,988, a decrease of $214,790.
OUTCOMES
How much:
Through the support of the CCA Subsidy, Dakota County is able to offer an array of supervision and intervention services that are responsive to the needs and risks of individuals in the justice system. In the adult division, CCA funding helps sustain specialized caseloads including Intensive Supervised Release, Supervised Release, High, Medium, and Low Risk Supervision, Gender-Responsive Supervision, Domestic Abuse, Repeat Driving While Impaired (DWI), Sex Offense Supervision, a Mental Health specialized caseload, Re-entry Assistance Program (RAP), and two treatment courts (Veterans Court and Drug Court).
In the juvenile division, CCA funds support High, Medium, and Low Risk Supervision, Gender-Responsive and Sex-Specific Caseloads, as well as a Juvenile Drug Court. These services are critical to delivering effective, individualized supervision strategies at the local level.
In addition, CCA funding supports key front-end probation services, including pretrial supervision, intake, interstate and intrastate transfer coordination, and pre-sentence investigations for both juveniles and adults.
How many:
In 2024, the Dakota County Community Corrections Department served 487 juvenile clients and 8,975 adult clients through probation supervision and services.
Is anyone better off:
Through targeted interventions and services supported by the CCA subsidy, the residents of Dakota County benefit from a safer community. Clients served through Dakota County Community Corrections experience improved stability and well-being as they engaged in programming designed to reduce recidivism, address underlying needs, and support long-term behavior change.
