There has been a hold on the funds due to a prior Nevada DCFS office's inadequate audit of use of prior grant funds. Nevada requested partial drawdown for some projects, and Ania Dobrzanska had to get approval so DCFS was still waiting on that in October. Nevada did expend their own funds to develop the PREA educational materials which included two brochures, one for youth, one for families/public and one PREA poster as well as a staff wallet card with first responder steps. They also started the electronic case management upgrade with Tyler Technologies and are still working on it.
