CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
This resource has expanded the Probation Department's options for difficult-to-place youth at a rate under the average
group home placement rate. Failure to approve this contract will result in placement of certain youth in more
expensive facilities, reduce the number of placement opportunities for the Juvenile Court, and require longer periods
of detention at Juvenile Hall.
