RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the FY 2016-17 AB 109 Annual Report, prepared by Resource Development Associates and recommended for acceptance by the Public Protection Committee of the Board of Supervisors and the Community Corrections Partnership.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract to prepare the Annual Report was in the amount of $15,000. The contract was funded by the AB 109 allocation to the County Administrator's Office of Reentry and Justice.

BACKGROUND:

The County Administrator’s Office has commissioned the preparation of an AB 109 Annual Report since FY 2014-15. The reports have been prepared by the County’s contracted AB 109 data collection and evaluation firm, Resource Development Associates (RDA), in collaboration with the County’s Office of Reentry and Justice and all AB 109-funded County departments/agencies/divisions, the Superior Court, and community-based organizations engaged in reentry service provision.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The AB 109 Annual Report provides an overview of AB 109-related activities undertaken in Contra Costa County during the fiscal year 2016-17, with a focus on understanding the impact of AB 109-funded County departments, divisions, programs, and contracted service providers. Toward this end, this report describes the volume and type of services provided by all of the County’s AB 109 partners over the course of the year. The FY 2016-17 AB 109 Annual Report is Attachment A.

Contra Costa County has responded to AB 109 Public Safety Realignment in a manner that has allowed the County to provide supervision and services to the AB 109 population, while building a collaborative reentry infrastructure to support the reentry population’s successful reintegration into the community. The County has followed best practice models in establishing access to services through the West County Reentry Success Center’s “one-stop” model and the Central & East Reentry Network’s “no wrong door” approach.

During the 2016/17 Fiscal Year a number of key changes and investments further refined the County’s approach to AB 109, as well as reentry more generally. These included:

Contracting with HealthRIGHT360 to operate the Central-East Reentry Network of Services in order to improve coordination and service delivery;
Establishing the Office of Reentry and Justice as a 2.5 year pilot of the County Administrator’s Office to align and advance the County’s public safety realignment, reentry, and justice programs and initiatives;
Development of a Pre-release Planning Pilot Program to create a more seamless custody-to-community reentry process; and
Increasing investments in housing services and supports to address the rising cost of housing.

The Public Protection Committee received the report at its May 23, 2018 meeting and recommended its acceptance by the Board of Supervisors. The Community Corrections Partnership also received the report at its June 1, 2018 meeting and made the same recommendation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The FY 2016-17 AB 109 Annual Report will not be accepted as the official report of AB 109 activities for the year.
