RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Probation Officer, or designee, to apply for and accept funding under Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) Training Project from the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) in an amount not to exceed $20,000 to enhance evidence-based practices at John A. Davis Juvenile Hall for the period May 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$20,000 for fourteen months; 10% County match requirement.

BACKGROUND:

The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is the Designated State Administrative Agency for the Juvenile Accountability Block Grant Program (JABG). To support California’s Title II Three-Year plan, the State Advisory Committee on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (SACJJDP) approved $250,000 in discretionary JABG funding to further develop evidenced based practices (EBP) statewide. Categorized as a large-sized county, Contra Costa County may apply for a maximum of $20,000. The goal of this application is to receive funds to enhance evidence-based Probation programs at the Juvenile Hall. Funds received will increase capacity within the Probation Department to implement evidence-based practices that target youth detained in Juvenile Hall.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Probation Department will have less resources available to enhance evidence-based practices at Juvenile Hall.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This funding will positively impact youth in Juvenile Hall by enhancing evidence-based programming.
