Apply now for jail grant
10/2/2025
Attorney General Dave Yost is offering $60 million over the next several years to help Ohio sheriff’s offices monitor and treat jail inmates with substance-abuse disorders.
As of early October, 31 county jails had been awarded grants in 2025. This year’s application window runs through Dec. 1, and AG Yost is urging the remaining sheriffs to apply. All sheriffs will be eligible for an additional round of funding in 2026.
