RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with Bay Area Community Resources (BACR) Incorporated, in an amount not to exceed $249,948 to continue to provide Juvenile Reentry Services in East and Central Contra Costa County to youth who have been, or soon will be, released from the Youthful Offender Treatment Program (YOTP), the Girls in Motion program (GIM), or the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility (OAYRF) for the period of July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) funds.

BACKGROUND:

In 2000, the California state legislature passed the Schiff-Cardenas Crime Prevention Act, which authorized funding for county juvenile justice programs and designated the Board of State Community Corrections (BSCC) to distribute the funds. In 2001, the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) was created by passage of California’s Crime Prevention Act of 2000 to provide a stable funding source for local juvenile justice programs aimed at curbing crime and delinquency among at-rick youth. Contra Costa County has historically used, and continues to use, this funding for programs that have been previously shown to have promising positive outcomes. In the May 2018 Consolidated Plan submitted to the BSCC, Probation proposed using JJCPA funding to enhance juvenile reentry services in all regions of the county. Probation released an RFP in June 2018 and BACR was awarded the contract to provide Juvenile Reentry services for East and Central Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Probation Department will be unable to continue to offer Juvenile Reentry services to youth in East and Central Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Reentry Services for Probation youth support three of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 1) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; 2) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and 3) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families."
