FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. Currently budgeted in the County Administrator's Office and 100% funded by AB 109.

BACKGROUND:

The Office of Reentry & Justice (ORJ) will be transitioning to the Probation Department, effective July 1, 2020.

The ORJ was launched in January 2017 as a pilot project of the County Administrator’s Office to align and advance the County’s public safety realignment, reentry, and justice programs and initiatives; it is funded by AB 109 Public Safety Realignment revenues from the state.

The ORJ oversees the AB 109 Community Reentry Programs, provides staff support to the Public Safety Realignment Community Advisory Board and the Racial Justice Oversight Body, develops grant-funded reentry resources, develops critical data and research support for the programs, and is recognized as the hub of reentry related information in the County. The ORJ has been instrumental in the development and implementation of a Reentry Strategic Plan for the County, the Youth Justice Initiative which launched reentry services for juveniles, a Pre-Release Planning project, a draft Racial Equity Action Plan, and Procedural Justice and Implicit Bias trainings for the County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Office of Reentry and Justice will remain a Pilot Program and will not be aligned to advance the County's public safety realignment, reentry, and justice programs initiatives.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
