RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with the Fresh Lifelines for Youth, in an amount not to exceed $448,296 to establish a network of Transition Aged Youth (TAY) service agencies, and design a model for delivering services to TAY through the network of contracted agencies for the period September 1, 2022 through August 31, 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 by connecting young people with positive mentors and role models and support them to become leaders among their peers and in their communities. Fresh Lifelines for Youth is one of a very few Bay Area agencies that specialize in working with youth who are currently, formerly, or at risk of being involved in the justice system.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under this agreement, Fresh Lifelines for Youth will establish a network of Transition Aged Youth (TAY) service agencies, and design a model for delivering services to TAY through the network of contracted agencies. The goal of the network is to ensure that every TAY on Probation in the County has access to a comprehensive set of services and programs that will increase self-sufficiency, while reducing the conditions for further justice system involvement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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