RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/659 approving and authorizing the County Probation Officer, or designee, to apply for and accept funding under the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant (JABG) Evidenced- Based Training Project grant from the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) in the amount not to exceed $19,995 to enhance Cognitive Behavioral Treatment services for youth on probation for the period November 1, 2016 through February 28, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This state grant is for $19,995 for a period 16 months and requires a 10% county match from the County Probation Department.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The BSCC is the Designated State Administrative Agency for the following two federal juvenile justice funding sources: Title II Formula Grant Program and the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant Program (JABG). The State Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (SACJJDP) aligned these programs to support California’s Title II Three-Year plan. The plan outlines three priority areas: Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparity (R.E.D.); EBP; and strategies to support positive outcomes for youth, their families, and communities. The legislative mandates associated with the BSCC also direct the Board to support statewide efforts in implementing evidence-based practices.

On April 22, 2013 to support the Three-Year plan, the SACJJDP approved $250,000 in discretionary JABG funds (CDFA 16.523) to develop the EBP priority area. In May 2014, the BSCC Board authorized the establishment of an Executive Steering Committee (ESC) to oversee the development of a Request for Application (RFA) process to identify probation departments that were prepared to receive training that would assist them in implementing or expanding the use of evidence-based practices within their local juvenile justice communities. This competitive process resulted in grant awards to nine projects which began on May 1, 2015 and concluded on June 30, 2016.

On June 9, 2016 the BSCC Board approved a recommendation from the SACJJDP that approximately $190,000 in additional JABG funding be extended to the nine EBP Training grantees for a second round of project funding. This reapplication process is in response to the BSCC Boards authorization of this funding.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Probation Department will be ineligible to receive funding from the Board of State and Community Corrections.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This program supports the following Board of Supervisors’ community outcomes: "Children are Healthy and Ready for School", "Youth Are Healthy and Preparing for Adulthood", and "Families and Communities Are Safe."
