The Alliance deposit

Asked how the money was procured, it answers "Municipality deposits opioid dollars into the Alliance Trust Fund annually."
It reports 0 individuals served. It gives the funding date as 7/1/2025 and the launch date as 1/1/2025. The same report says the Konscious program was "supported under the Alliance Trst Fund."
On the report's own words, the 50,000.00 moved into a trust fund. It was certified to the State as spent. Certified a 50,000.00 trust fund deposit as spent.

| Short | 10,391.42 |

Each shortfall means either more money left the fund than the reports certify, or the on hand figure is wrong.
What the records show
The only records on file are the Township's reports to the State. The Township has not produced a ledger, a bank statement, a trust fund record or any account record for its settlement money. Without one, this project cannot say what the Alliance Trust Fund paid, whether the treatment and counseling payments were made, or where the rest of the money is held. A ledger is owed before the Township's reports can be tested.
How this project classifies spending is set out in the methodology and the rubric. Corrections follow the corrections policy.
