DOH Community Services Grant Accepted by Sheridan Commission
Sheridan County, Wyoming, has recently secured a grant agreement with the Wyoming Department of Health, Public Health Division for the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) for the period 2025-2029. The grant aims to support community service programs addressing the needs of local populations across the service area, which includes Sheridan, Big Horn, and Johnson Counties [1][2][3].
While the precise total amount of the grant for the upcoming years and overall administration details have not been disclosed, Sheridan County Administrative Director Cameron Duff discussed the distribution of last year's CSBG funding. Last year, the grant amounted to approximately $280,000, with 60.5% going to Sheridan County, 25.4% to Big Horn County, and 14.1% to Johnson County [4][5].
Regarding the distribution of funding among the three counties, the available sources do not provide exact amounts or the breakdown of the grant allocation. The grant is coordinated through Sheridan County, but the specifics on how funds are divided among the three counties are not publicly detailed [4][5].
Interestingly, Sheridan County is responsible for processing paperwork and distributing the CSBG funding to Big Horn and Johnson Counties, as these counties lack the staff to perform these duties.
The Sheridan County Commissioners have approved and accepted the CSBG funding for the period 2025-2029, but the details of the funding for the current year have not been specified. For exact funding allocations by county, contacting Sheridan County officials or the Wyoming Department of Health directly would likely provide the most accurate and up-to-date information.
