Johnson County approves FY26 juvenile justice youth development contracts totaling roughly $349,000

The Johnson County Board of Supervisors approved fiscal year 2026 juvenile justice youth development contracts with six local organizations on Thursday, committing roughly $349,000 in county funds to the programs.

The board approved these contracts as part of the consent agenda. The list and dollar amounts recorded in the meeting packet are: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Johnson County $65,000; Community Crisis Services $25,000; Dream Center doing business as Dream City $65,000; Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County $70,229; United Action for Youth $70,000; Wright House of Fashion $54,771.

The motion to approve was moved by Supervisor Sullivan and seconded by Supervisor Green Douglas; the vote was 5-0.

Why it matters: these contracts fund local youth programs and services covered under the juvenile justice youth development program. The board approved the agreements as listed; the meeting record does not specify additional contract terms or performance metrics during the session.

Board discussion did not include amendments to the amounts during the meeting; supervisors approved the packet as presented.
