A new report suggests the city has some explaining to do.
The South Dallas Drug Court and the South Oak Cliff Veterans’ Treatment Court opened in 2014 and 2016, respectively.of the South Dallas Drug Court and South Oak Cliff Veterans’ Treatment Court found that one vendor may have been charging fees for free, federally funded services, and that the city does not verify whether treatment providers are professionally certified or licensed.
The programs have yielded some results but haven’t been managed very well, according to the report by the Dallas City Auditor’s Office. According to the report, the city hasn’t been paying very close attention to contractual language to which it has agreed with these service providers. As a result, the audit found one may have been charging for free, federally funded services. The South Dallas Drug Court is funded by an annual grant of over $300,000 from the federal government's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Because of these management issues the city can’t be sure that the treatment courts are abiding by its own policies and by federal and state grant requirements.
