RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with Fresh Lifelines for Youth, in an amount not to exceed $1,043,045 to operate the STAY FLY Program to for Contra Costa County’s Transition Aged Youth (ages 18-25 years old) to prevent further justice system involvement for the period September 1, 2022 through October 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Community Corrections Performance Incentive funds (SB 678)

BACKGROUND:

Founded in 2000, Fresh Lifelines for Youth is a nonprofit organization that services youth in the juvenile justice system as well as those who are at risk of involvement. They educate youth about the law, they support them to become leaders among their peers, and they provide them with positive mentors and role models.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under this agreement, Fresh Lifelines for Youth will operate its STAY FLY Program in Contra Costa County. The STAY FLY Program is a reentry program for ages 18-25 years old that combines law related education, case management/coaching, prosocial events, and systems and community collaboration, to decrease youth's justice system involvement, increase youth's academic progress, build youth's social-emotional learning, mobilize non-traditionally engaged institutions to support youth at risk of justice system involvement, and improve effectiveness and education system practices for Transition Aged Youth.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this contract, Contra Costa County’s Transition Aged Youth population will fail to receive adequate support service.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
