State Court Improvement Program is run by Department of Health and Human Services. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $139 million in 431 grants, about $321,720 per award.

## Objectives

This program provides funding to state and tribal courts to improve the quality of court processes and legal representation. The program provides courts flexibility to design assessments which identify barriers to timely and effective decision-making, highlight practices which are not fully successful, examine areas they find to be in need of correction or added attention, and then implement reforms which address specific needs. State courts are required to collaborate with the state child welfare agency and tribes in this work. The program also provides funding for tribal court recipients through discretionary awards.
