RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE) in an amount not to exceed $180,000 to continue to provide assistance to individuals as they transition from the County’s adult detention facilities for the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Community Corrections Performance Incentive funds (SB 678)

BACKGROUND:

Under this contract, CCCOE provides a full time Equivalent (FTE) Reentry Transition Specialist, supported by a 0.75 FTE office assistant, to assist individuals as they transition from the County’s adult detention facilities back into Contra Costa County communities. They support incarcerated individuals by identifying and addressing barriers to employment, education and community reintegration; providing incarcerated individuals individualized case management services. They link students with appropriate support resources, including reentry centers, social services, housing authorities, drug/alcohol rehabilitations services, DMV, health services and other appropriate community based resources and providers.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this contract, key linkages will be unavailable for Contra Costa's adult reentry population.
