During this reporting period, the Harris County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) had several issues at the county level as well as staffing issues. The coaches were told in late October that the budget for HCSO was temporally frozen, causing delays on hiring and programs across the agency. The role of PREA Coordinator continues to be vacant, with Katrina Camacho trying to complete the duties of multiple jobs until the spot is filled. In addition, HCSO still has been unable to hire a LGBTI Navigator, the main position funded under this grant. Due to the staffing issues, the proposed training for staff, the updates to the LGBTI policy, the revisions of the risk screening tool, and the development of a fully operational programing unit have still not begun. HCSO applied for a no cost extension on the grant and the coaches are tentatively hopeful with the additional time and a possible revision of goals HCSO will make progress on their grant.
