RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Men and Women of Purpose in an amount not to exceed $324,996 for the provision of services to adults transitioning from incarceration for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.
.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$324,996.00; 100% FY 2022/23 State AB109 Public Safety Realignment Funds

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Contract is to continue the Jail to Community Program as part of the County's AB109 public safety realignment plan. As part of the Jail to Community Program, Men and Women of Purpose (MWP), and the Office of the Sheriff-Coroner commit to an ongoing collaboration to strengthen and develop a multi-disciplinary approach to serve adults inside the County's West County Detention Facility, Martinez Detention Facility, and Marsh Creek Detention Facility.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Those incarcerated and in the custody of the County's Sheriff-Coroner would need to meet certain criteria to be among the AB 109 re-entry population. Some of the services MWP provides are initial assessments, recommending treatment plans, developing support groups, and assisting participants with the recovery of their California Driver's License, Social Security Card and Green Cards for the re-entry population. MWP will provide participants online access and print-outs of the County's 211 information services and participant services to each of its Outpatient and Day Treatment programs after the participant is released.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action would result in the incarcerated people having fewer resources to help avoid recidivism and increased chances of returning to custody, resulting in an increased fiscal impact for the County and potential overcrowding in the jails.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
