RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No.005096 authorizing FY 2019/2020 revenue in the amount of $61,808 from the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) and appropriating it in the Public Defender's Office to develop the Holistic Intervention Partnership as an innovative holistic defense system that focuses on early intervention at the time of police contact in misdemeanor cases.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will increase Fiscal Year 2019-20 revenue appropriations by $61,808 and increase personnel and services related costs by the same amount.











BACKGROUND:

The Holistic Intervention Partnership (HIP) will establish an innovative holistic defense system that focuses on early intervention at the time of police contact in misdemeanor cases. A public-private partnership between the Contra Costa County Office of the Public Defender, multiple County agencies, and community-based partners, HIP will provide interdisciplinary case management and navigation services to indigent individuals to ensure timely and coordinated access to a client-centered array of housing, behavioral health, transportation and legal services at the critical time of initial law enforcement contact. Over the three years, HIP will reduce system burden and improve criminal justice outcomes in misdemeanor cases in all three regions of Contra Costa County.  
  
In October of 2019, the Public Defender's Office accepted the grant and entered into an agreement with BSCC for establishing the HIP program. On November 19, 2019, the Board approved adding 3 positions related the the JAG-grant funded HIP program at the Public Defender's Office. The positions were not hired until Q4 of the 2019/20 fiscal year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Defender's Office will not be able to appropriate revenues and expenditures consistent with acceptance of the grant as approved by the Board.
