RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Bay Area Community Resources, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $60,673 to a new payment limit of $130,673 for additional and enhanced Youth Justice Initiative services in East Contra Costa County for the period of April 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. (100% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$130,763.00: 100% Federal (Justice Assistance Grant)

BACKGROUND:

The Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative (ZTDVI) was awarded a three-year Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) in order to implement the Contra Costa County Youth Justice Initiative (YJI). Contractor will provide a Youth Success Counselor (YSC) for youth ages ten through twenty-four involved in the juvenile justice system in accordance with the YJI. Bay Area Community Resources, Inc., provides reentry plan, case management, and general support through peer groups, literacy, work-readiness, and social-emotional assessment and monitoring, academic and career training, and advocacy and will now include more academic, job training, and mental/behavioral health services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Youth in East Contra Costa County enrolled in the Youth Justice Initiative will not have access to services and support to assist in successful reentry.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The services provided under this contract support all five of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; (2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; (3)"Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient"; (4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and (5)"Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families” by providing reentry, academic, pre-employment, and case management services,
