Meeting Date:06/03/2019 Subject:Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council Applicants for At-Large Community and Youth Representatives Submitted For: PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE, Department:County Administrator Referral No.: 2019-13 Referral Name: JJCC Community and Youth At-Large Presenter: L. DeLaney Contact: L. DeLaney, 925-335-1097 Referral History: On February 13, 2018, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Public Protection Committee (PPC) a review of the production of the County's Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan. The plan is due to the state on May 1 of each year, as a condition of Contra Costa’s annual funding through the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) and Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG). At the April 2018 meeting of the Public Protection Committee, staff was directed to return at a future meeting date with information regarding the Juvenile Justice Commission (JJC) and the Delinquency Prevention Commission (DPC). At the September 10, 2018 meeting, staff presented the following summary of the JJC, the DPC and the JJCC: Juvenile Justice Commission: The Juvenile Justice Commission is a state body created by statute and is in effect part of the Superior Court. (Welf. & Inst., § 229.). The charge of JJCs is, among other things, to inspect detention facilities or group homes in counties where a minor has been held in custody. In addition, a JJC may hold hearings from time-to-time and compel the attendance of individuals to testify at such hearings. The JJC is not subject to the Brown Act, but rather the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Gov. Code, § 11120 et. seq.) and falls within an exemption to that Act specifically for courts. (Gov. Code, § 11121.1 (a).) The exemption allows for the Court to choose not to post agendas or otherwise meet publicly. The JJC does not direct any County financial resources allocated for juvenile justice. Delinquency Prevention Commission: Page 7 of 169 The board of supervisors in each county has statutory authority to create and appoint members to a Delinquency Prevention Commission. The charge of a DPC is to coordinate on a countywide basis activities of governmental and non-governmental entities related to juvenile delinquency prevention. In lieu of appointing all members, a county board may designate the JJC (the State body described above) to also serve as the DPC. In Contra Costa County, the Board has chosen to designate members of the Court's JJC as the County's DPC by ordinance. This means that the membership of the County DPC is appointed by the Court and not the County. The DPC is a local body implemented in this County by an ordinance. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 233. Ord. Code, Ch. 26-6, “Delinquency Prevention Commission.”) Thus, it is a legislative body for purposes of the Brown Act. (Gov. Code, § 54952 (a), (b).) DPC meetings must be conducted in accordance with the Brown Act. The DPC does not direct any County financial resources allocated for juvenile justice. Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council: The JJCC is created pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 749.22 and is charged with creating and maintaining a multi-agency juvenile justice plan composed of several critical parts, including, but not limited to: (a) An assessment of existing law enforcement, probation, education, mental health, health, social services, drug and alcohol and youth services resources which specifically target at-risk juveniles, juvenile offenders, and their families. (b) An identification and prioritization of the neighborhoods, schools, and other areas in the community that face a significant public safety risk from juvenile crime, such as gang activity, daylight burglary, late-night robbery, vandalism, truancy, controlled substance sales, firearm-related violence, and juvenile alcohol use within the council’s jurisdiction. (c) A local action plan (LAP) for improving and marshaling the resources set forth in subdivision (a) to reduce the incidence of juvenile crime and delinquency in the areas targeted pursuant to subdivision (b) above and the greater community. (d) Develop information and intelligence-sharing systems to ensure that county actions are fully coordinated, and to provide data for measuring the success of the grantee in achieving its goals. (e) Identify outcome measures. The JJCC does make recommendations for the allocation of County financial resources juvenile justice. Specifically, the multi-agency juvenile justice plan is required to received a state allocation of Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG) and Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) each year. For fiscal year 2018/19, the County estimates receipt of $8.96 million ($4.7 million from JJCPA and $4.2 million from YOBG). For fiscal year 2017/18, the County received a combined amount of $8.2 million from both sources. At the September 2018 meeting of the Public Protection Committee, CAO staff was directed to return at the October 2018 meeting to consider the steps needed to consolidate the delinquency prevention functions of the DPC and JJCC. Staff was also directed to return with information on the membership of the JJCC to allow the Committee to better assess the need for additional seats. Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council Membership Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) section 749.22 establishes the minimum membership of the JJCC. Per WIC §749.22, the JJCC "shall, at a minimum, include the chief probation officer, as chair, and one representative each from the district attorney's office, the public defender's office, the sheriff's department, the board of supervisors, the department of social services, the Page 8 of 169 department of mental health, a community-based drug and alcohol program, a city police department, the county office of education or a school district, and an at-large community representative. In order to carry out its duties pursuant to this section, a coordinating council shall also include representatives from nonprofit community-based organizations providing services to minors." At its October 1, 2018 meeting, the Public Protection Committee directed staff to prepare for the Board of Supervisors' action a Board Order to combine the functions of the DPC and the JJCC and update the seats of the JJCC to include: Chief Probation Officer, District Attorney's Office representative, Public Defender's Office representative, Sheriff's Office representative, Board of Supervisors representative, Employment and Human Services Department representative, Behavior Health representative, County Alcohol and Drugs representative, City Police Department Representative, County Office of Education or a school district representative, County Public Health representative, and Eight community-based seats, including a minimum of two representing youth-serving community-based organizations and two youth-aged community representatives (14-21 years old). At its December 4, 2018 meeting, the Board of Supervisors, by Ordinance 2018-30 dissolved the Delinquency Prevention Commission, and by Resolution 2018/597 added seats and duties to the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council to increase its size to 19 members by adding one (1) representative from the County Public Health Department; three (3) additional at-large community representatives; and two (2) at-large youth representatives. The JJCC membership as of February 2019 is Attachment A. Referral Update: Subsequent to the Board of Supervisors' action on December 4 and December 18, 2018 to dissolve the DPC and to reconstitute the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) so that it assumes the obligations and duties of the DPC and includes additional members, the Public Protection Committee at its March 11, 2019 meeting accepted a report on the County's JJCPA-YOBG Consolidated Annual Plan and directed staff on a recruitment process for the vacant at-large seats of the JJCC. These vacant seats include three (3) At-Large Community Representatives and two (2) At-Large Youth Representatives. An 8-week process was directed by the PPC to include: 1. April 1: Issue Press Release advertising vacancies 2. May 24: Application Deadline 3. June 3: PPC Meeting Interviews 4.

First, the history I’ve witnessed of civil, social, judicial, and human right violations to my peers, family, neighbors, elders, and friends felt like a daily sitcom. I took my first stand against these injustices at the ripe age of 15, elected Youth and College President of NAACP Coffee County, Alabama local chapter. Marching in Selma on the same streets as Martin Luther King Jr., I believe started this fire to mobilize my people that continues to burn. Like most Black folks during that time, I was ignorant of the proven theory of “School to Prison pipeline”. I lacked the understanding of why with so many alternative options to avoid incarceration it became such a revolving door for so much of my lifetime.

Yes No At-large Youth Seats” No D'Ana Clark Page 2 of 4 Attachment C Page 44 of 169 Upload a Resume Please explain why you would like to serve on this particular board, commitee, or commission. I would like to serve on this committee because as formerly incarcerated African American young woman I would like to be able to further advocate and ensure justice and safety to all citizens. Especially for youth impacted by incarceration so that they can receive the resources that they need and deserve for a successful transition back into the community. As a Richmond Native I stand for justice, accountability, patience, love, respect, and being a voice for those who are not able to advocate for themselves. Being impacted by the juvenile justice system makes me want to be apart of a larger platform that will support, discuss and address the needs of youth incarcerated. Another significant reason why I will be a great candidate is because, as a formally impacted young person, I would be able to address the barriers in which young youth of color face daily. It is important that the board has a representation of who we are trying to advocate, and assess the needs for. My long term goal is to become a lawyer so that I can fight for the underserved population. RYSE has given me the platform to be in spaces where I can conduct myself professionally and articulate social injustices. I do have the awareness and knowledge of what being a youth leader and what being an advocate for myself and others mean.

By this letter, I am submitting my request to be considered for current openings on the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council. In 2016, I transitioned from a career in residential property management to focus my skills in service of Transitional Aged Youth (TAY). As a result, I have been working with TAY by supporting operations, logistics and placement assistance in transitional housing programs. I find this to an extremely rewarding as it allows me to assist troubled and often traumatized young people, provide a support for them though sourcing housing and contribute to support their capacity to create positive pathways for their lives. At the same time, I perceive and experience the systemic challenges that they face and believe that, if provided the right forum, that I contribute to a collaborative that informs solutions to evolve the system. I feel so strongly about this cause that I returned to school to pursue a graduate degree in Leadership with a concentration in Social Justice. My goal is to empower myself to positively impact the lives of youth in a deeper, broader and more systemic ways. It is my hope that this blend of skills, experience and passion are the makings of an excellent candidate for the position of Council Member. One aspect that I feel uniquely qualifies me for such a position is the depth of compassion and empathy that I have for foster youth. I’ve seen young children being neglected by their parents. This made me realize that I want to support organizations that seek to intervene and to create positive change. The skills that I’m developing will empower me provide informed leadership and to be a strong advocate for youth who are struggling with issues in both the foster care and legal systems. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing how I might fill one of the openings you’ve advertised.

Meeting Date:06/03/2019 SUBJECT:FY 2019-20 Request for Interest/Proposals (RFI/Ps) Contract Award Recommendations for AB 109 Community Programs FROM: David Twa, County Administrator DEPARTMENT:County Administrator RECOMMENDATION: Review the AB 109 Community Programs contract award recommendations of the ORJ and RFP review panels and RECOMMEND the Board of Supervisors award three year contracts for services, effective July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022, as follows: 1. Civil Legal Services Bay Legal for up to $471,000 Management of the East/Central County Reentry Network HealthRIGHT 360 for up to $2,937,000 Employment Support and Placement Services Rubicon Programs for up to $6,849,000 Family Reunification Services Centerforce for up to $282,000 Mentoring Services in West County Men and Women of Purpose for up to $345,000 Short and Long-Term Housing Access Shelter Inc. for up to $2,576,000 Lao Family Community Development for up to $1,290,000. BACKGROUND: On December 7, 2018, the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) Executive Committed adopted a FY 2019-20 AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Budget for recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. This committee considered this recommended budget during its January 28, 2019, Special Session and February 4, 2019, General Meeting. After full consideration of the matter, a budget was recommended to the Board of Supervisors that included recommendations to fund the AB 109 Community Programs in the following amounts for FY 2019-20: Employment Support and Placement Services - $2,283,000 East/Central Reentry Network Management and Operation - $979,000 Short and Long Term Housing Access - $1,272,000 Legal Services - $157,000 Family Reunification Services - $94,000 Mentoring Services for West County - $115,000 Reentry Success Center Operation and Management - $546,335 During this Committee’s February 2019 General Meeting it was further recommended that $50,000 for housing services be rolled over for FY 2019-20. This Committee also directed the Office of Reentry and Justice (ORJ) to use a collaborative process to develop solicitation documents for the competitive selection process to identify vendors to provide the above listed services (except for the Reentry Success Center which is entering its final contract Page 145 of 169 renewal year). During this meeting it was further determined that the solicitations would be for three year contracts at the above recommended annual funding levels. The recommended budget allocations above were subsequently approved by the Board of Supervisors with the approval of the County’s FY 2019-20 Budget on April 16, 2019. DISCUSSION: Consistent with the direction from this Committee, the ORJ invited a representative from Probation, the District Attorney, Public Defender, and CCP Community Advisory Board (CAB) to participate on a workgroup that would develop a two-stage solicitation process. This workgroup met in person and by phone during the development phase of all solicitation documents, and multiple opportunities to review and comment on document drafts were provided. Based on recommendations from the CAB, housing and employment services were ultimately integrated into a single solicitation. Stage 1 of the solicitation process consisted of four Request for Interest (RFI) that sought responses from agencies with interest in providing the services to the County with the following funding amounts over for three fiscal years (a three-year total of $16,004,000): Employment and Housing Services - $10,715,000a. Family Reunification and Mentoring - $1,881,000b. Central-East Network - $2,937,000c. Civil Legal Services - $471,000d. The RFI process began when the solicitations were announce on February 15, 2019, and responses were due from vendors on February 28, 2019. Only agencies that expressed interest in Stage 1 of the process were eligible to participate in Stage 2’s Request for Proposals (RFP). ORJ received 18 responses to the RFIs with 12 expressing interest in providing Housing or Employment Services and four expressing interest in providing Mentoring or Family Reunification Services. Bay Area Legal Aid was the only vender that expressed interest in providing the County with Civil Legal Services, and HealthRIGHT 360 was the only one that expressed interest in providing the County with Services for the Reentry Network. Because each of these two agencies have previously provided the solicited services to the County in a satisfactory fashion, the ORJ did not request proposals for either of these two services and recommends each agency be awarded a contract for the provision of the respective service. All other responders to the RFI were deemed qualified and subsequently invited to participate in Stage 2 of the solicitation process. Stage 2 began when ORJ announced the beginning of the RFP process to eligible agencies on April 3, 2019. One RFP was distributed for Housing and Employment Services, and a second for Mentoring and Family Reunification Services. A mandatory bidder’s conference was held April 9, 2019, and all eligible responders attended. A required Notice of Intent was due on April 19, 2019, and only one eligible agency did not submit a timely notice. All but three of the eligible agencies submitted a timely response package by the due date of May 1, 2019, with two agencies submitting a joint response. There were a total of seven proposals received for Housing and Employment Services (with two proposals for both service areas), and four proposals received for Mentoring and Family Reunification Services (with one proposal for both services). Review Panels were constructed for each RFP with proposal evaluations and interviews occurring the week of May 13, 2019. Panel recommendations for Employment Support and Placement Services were announced on May 15, 2019, and all other Panel recommendations were announced May 17, 2019. RFP Review Panels The RFP Review Panels were convened by the ORJ and included subject matter experts, formerly incarcerated individuals, and representatives of organizations that either work with the reentry population directly or support agencies that provide services to the reentry population. Donté Blue, ORJ Deputy Director, facilitated the work of each review panel. The Review Panels utilized a “Consensus Scoring Methodology” for proposal evaluation and rating, and all members were required to return an Impartiality Statement before serving in order to ensure there were no individuals with conflicts of interest. Each panel made an independent determination of whether to invite any proposers for an interview prior to making its recommendation. The review panels invited the top two scoring agencies for interviews in each of the RFP services areas, except for the Employment Support and Placement Services award recommendation that the panel made without an interview. The Review Panel for the Housing and Employment Services RFP responses was as follows: Charles Brown III, Business Services Representative, County Workforce Development Board Page 146 of 169 Katie Kramer, Chief Executive Officer, The Bridging Group Lonnie Tuck, Regional Director, Center for Employment Opportunities Joseph Villarreal, Executive Director, Contra Costa County Housing Authority Denise Zabkiewicz, Research and Evaluation Manager, Office of Reentry and Justice The Panel scored the proposals as follows [countywide services proposed unless otherwise noted]: Short- and Long-Term Housing Access Lao Family Community Development (77.5 pts.)1.

Summaries of Recommended Proposals and Panel Comments MENTORING AND FAMILY REUNIFICATION SERVICES Family Reunification Services Centerforce Panel recommends an award of up to $282,000 for Countywide Family Reunification Services [$282,000 requested] Centerforce has been in operation for over 40 years and provides direct services to more than 400 clients annually to support, educate, and advocate for individuals, families and communities impacted by incarceration. For the past 15 years, Centerforce has provided family reunification services that include parenting classes and case management. In conjunction with Rubicon Programs, Centerforce currently operates a Back to Family program focused on supporting the efforts of parents to reunite with their children and partners. Centerforce staff includes individuals and family members of individuals who are formerly incarcerated, men and women of color, and that speak both English and Spanish. The program will be staffed by a Program Manager and three Parenting Coaches/Case Managers totaling .8 FTE, and will include the administrative support of the ED at .1 FTE. Services will be provide in space provided by Rubicon Programs in each of the County’s three regions. The program is based on the “Parenting Inside Out” curriculum and intends to enroll at least 45 participants for services annually. Within a month of enrollment, program participants will be expected to complete a series of 10 classes dealing with parenting and relationship issues that include the management of stress in relationships, co-parenting, and discipline. Once completed, participants will begin to receive to receive intensive case management services that begin with the development of a Family Reunification Plan. The Plan will identify the need for coaching, mediation, education, and support of pro-social familial interactions. Services provided to Page 147 of 169 participants may also include the provision of in-person and written support for a family court matter, advocacy with Children and Family Services if a child is in the foster care system, and other reunification support as necessary. Centerforce intends to utilize the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory to identify the needs of participants and their risk for recidivism. This tool will be used to target resources at the highest risk participants. The program is designed to enhance the intrinsic motivation of participants to engage with children, partner/spouse, and pro-social community supports. Participants will not only be trained to develop critical communication skills, but also offered the opportunity to engage with family using tickets to local entertainment events (sports, museums, theatre, etc.) provided by the Community Access Ticket Service (CATS). Mentoring Services in West County Men and Women of Purpose Panel recommends an award of up to $345,000 for West County Mentoring Services [$345,000 requested] Men and Women of Purpose (MWP) have been in operation since 2011, and provided mentoring services to the County for the past six years. During this time, the organization has met with over 5,400 justice involved individuals 60% of whom are Black men and approximately 10% have been women. They utilize the Insight Prison Project curriculum, and work with individuals both while they are in custody, and upon their release. The program will be operated by a Mentor Manager, three paid Peer Mentors, and an Addiction Specialist for a total of 1.6 FTE. Administrative support from the agency’s CEO, COO, Administrative Assistant, and Data Clerk an additional .95 FTE assisting the program. Three volunteer Peer Mentors will also each provide 8 hrs. a week to the program. MWP will begin working with individuals while they are still incarcerated in a local jail when possible and provide two 90 minute out of custody support groups to program participants each week. Mentoring Services will be provided to 120 program participants annually who will also have access to weekly one-on-one mentoring sessions according to their individual needs plan. Participants will participate in mentoring services for six months. Services are expected to be provided at MWP’s offices and the Reentry Success Center, both in Richmond. During program participation, MWP mentors will be expected to help connect participants to the resources needed to overcome barriers to their reintegration. Panel Comments The panel recognized that MWP scored less than Rubicon Programs, and usually this would suffice in recommending the County fund Rubicon Programs for these services. However, the Panel agreed to recommend the contract for Mentoring Services be awarded to MWP for the following overriding considerations. When looking at the financial information of Rubicon and MWP, the panel believed that terminating the contract with MWP would be a significant financial blow to the agency and could likely be fatal. Because the County indicated that MWP had satisfactorily performed on its current and previous contract for similar services, the panel did not believe that the potential incremental gain in service provision Rubicon might provide outweighed the substantial loss of potentially having one less agency providing services to the local reentry population. 1. Based on the RFP language and scoring Rubric, the Panel believed the County had an express interest in investing in local organizations. While Rubicon is a local agency, the Panel recognized that there is a recommendation pending that would seek to invest more than $2.5 million in AB 109 revenue alone in the agency during FY 2019-20. MWP on the other hand could be labeled as an indigenous agency because it is not only local to Contra Costa but was also founded by County residents. The Panel believed continued investments in such indigenous organizations was consistent with the County’s interests. 2. Lastly, the Panel believed Rubicon’s proposal was well written and worthy of being considered for funding under different circumstances. However, since current funding levels could only support a single award, and the Panel was convinced that recent changes in MWP leadership provided an opportunity to invest this single award in the strategic growth of MWP. 3. The Panel further recommends that in managing the contract for these services, ORJ hold MWP accountable for building its organizational capacity to compete and perform, while also diversifying its revenue sources in a way that will better ensure the agency’s long-term viability. This recommendation is based on the Panel’s belief that MWP can be an increasingly productive partner with some support. EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING SERVICES Page 148 of 169 EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING SERVICES Employment Support and Placement Services Rubicon Programs Panel recommends an award of up to $6,849,000 [$6,848,999 requested] Founded in 1973, Rubicon is a non-profit recognized for its integrated housing, mental health, relapse prevention, legal, financial education and employment services whose participant base includes a significant percentage of individuals with a history of justice involvement. Rubicon has been providing employment services as part of the AB 109 community programs since 2013 and proposes to continue providing a comprehensive suite of employment and career services through its program. Services will be provided in Rubicon service sites in East and West County, and at the Mount Diablo Adult Education Loma Vista site in Central County. The program design targets 200 participants per year (125 in East County, 75 in Central County and 100 in West County). Phase 1 includes: Intake and Assessment, a 50 hour Job Readiness and Financial Literacy Training, Small Group Job Search Support and Digital Literacy Training, Benefits Screening and Application Assistance, and both Subsidized and Transitional Employment. Phase 2 incudes Vocational Assessment and Career Advising, Vocational Skills Training, and Individualized Job Placement and Retention Services. These retention services will be provided for up three years along with job advancement support. The average length of engagement with the program is 15 to 24 months. Rubicon's employment program offers a full range of grant-funded and leveraged employment services and also offers access to other Rubicon services including domestic violence screening and counseling, as well as anger management training by STAND!, GED prep through Liberty Adult Education, and adult basic literacy support through Literacy for Every Adult Program (LEAP). In addition the staffing for the proposal included just over 22 FTEs, leveraging a number of existing staff with about ten new staff to be hired. Total FTEs dedicated to the project: 5.98 FTEs for West County, 6.85 FTEs for Central County, 7.83 FTEs for East County, and 1.55 FTEs in program adminstration roles. Short- and Long-Term Housing Access Shelter Inc. Panel recommends an award of up to $2,576,000 for Housing Services [$3,866,000 requested] Shelter Inc. (SI) has been the County’s contracted provider of AB 109 Housing services since 2013, having provided 518 clients (unduplicated) with housing assistance services. SI has at least 19 years of experience providing services requested in the RFP. SI proposes to offer intensive case management with Sober Living Environments (SLE) used to provide short term housing support, and long-term housing rental assistance. Case management will not only help individuals address their housing barriers, but also access needed behavioral health, legal, and family reunification services. The program is designed to help clients work towards self-sufficiency. SI is proposing a step-down model of subsidized housing support where the program will target covering 100% of housing costs will be paid during the first month, 80% during the second month, 60% in month three, 40% in month four, 20% will be covered in the fifth month, and 10% in the sixth month. Participants will be expected to cover their own housing costs in month seven and beyond, but may be eligible for additional months of subsidized costs in some situations. The program will also provide support for rental assistance, security deposits, and utilities. About 75 individuals will receive housing assistance across the county at the recommended funding levels. Lao Family Community Development Panel recommends an award of up to $1,290,000 [$3,866,000 requested] LFCD has provided to “hard to reach” groups for almost 40 years. They have recently began to provide Career Technical Education services to the AB 109 population in Alameda County. They are proposing a project they call the My Action Plan 2 Jobs and Housing (MAP 2 JH). This program attempts to build from a housing program they have previously utilized for resettled immigrant refugee populations. MAP 2 JH seeks to leverage Workforce Investment and Opportunities Act funding through its present relationship with America’s Job Centers of California, current and future LFCD real estate holdings, and the agency’s ongoing relationships with landlords and the San Pablo Economic Development Center. Page 149 of 169 The project will provide up to 24 months of long term housing support with beds for at least 14 individuals annually at the recommended funding levels. Initially participant needs will be assessed. This process will include a financial evaluation, health survey, and other screening as appropriate. These early assessments will be used to develop each participants individualized MAP. MAPs will include referrals to established partners to address needs, vocational interests and trainings needed, and a long-term plan to achieve the income needed to maintain independent housing. Services to provided as part of the program include cognitive behavioral training, life skills education, and support with money management and budgeting. Once enrolled in the program, the first three months housing will be full subsidized by LFCD during which time participants will be supported in finding employment. During months 4 – 12 participants will be required to save up to a third of their income in an individual development account, and also pay up to 30% of their income towards their housing costs. Months 13-24 participants will continue to be supported and case managed, but will not have any of their housing costs subsidized. During this time they expect to ensure all residents retain employment and make progress toward the goals identified on their MAP. By month 24 the program expects participants that have adequately progressed through the goals of their MAP to have achieved placement in some form of permanent housing. Panel Comments The panel recognized that LFCD scored had the higher overall score. The two proposed programs are very different with SI’s program based on the utilization of SLEs and LFCD seeking to lease new properties directly. The Panel believes that SI has the greater experience in providing services to this population but seeks to provide LFCD a portion of what they requested to see if models the organization has used with other populations can be adjusted to be successful with the reentry population. Furthermore, the panel sees value in supporting the growth of experience in multiple agencies that provide housing for the reentry population. Because what LFCD is proposing has not yet been proven to be successful with the reentry population, the Panel felt it would not be prudent to award LFCD the entire funding allocation at this time. Instead, the Panel is recommending that LFCD be awarded approximately one-third of the available funding, be directed to either work with Rubicon or leverage other outside funding for employment services, and the success and value of the program be taken into consideration during future funding cycles. In the meantime, the County should award the remainder of the funding allocation to SI to provide housing access services similar to those currently provided.

Meeting Date:06/03/2019 Subject:Request for Qualifications Process for Grant Writing Services Related to Justice System Submitted For: PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE, Department:County Administrator Referral No.: 2019-14 Referral Name: RFQ for Grant Writing Services Presenter: L. DeLaney and D. Blue Contact: L. DeLaney, 925-335-1097 Referral History: The Public Protection Committee has provided input to the contractor procurement process for AB 109-funded contracts since 2013. Referral Update: The Office of Reentry & Justice is in the process of developing a Request for Qualifications to identify qualified contractors to provide grant writing services to the County for justice-related grants. Over the past several years, the State and Federal governments have made and continue to make funding opportunities available to counties to support justice related initiatives. The County has applied successfully for a number of these grants including: the federal Second Chance Act grant (2013) the federal Smart Reentry grant (2016) the federal Byrne JAG grant (2015)--applied for funding in 2019 as well the federal Smart Defense Initiative grant (2016), the state's Prop. 47 Grant (2017)-- applied for Round 2 funding in 2019 The County has also submitted applications for the BSCC's Youth Reinvestment Grant (2019), through the District Attorney's Office. In addition, County staff continues to review and consider applications for other funding opportunities including: 1. Department of Justice's "Improving Reentry for Adults with Co-occurring Substance Abuse and Mental Illness" 2. Department of Justice's "Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program" Responding quickly and effectively to these grant opportunities often requires the assistance of grant writing professionals. Therefore, the ORJ is embarking on a process to develop a list of qualified grant writers from which it can draw to support grant opportunities as they arise. Funding for any ensuing contracts related to specific grants would be provided by the AB 109 Planning and Implementation funds, as available. Page 168 of 169 The proposed timeline for this process is as follows: Timeline for the RFQ for Grant Writing Services Event Date RFQ Draft & Timeline to Review Cmte.June 3-June 14 PPC Designates Evaluators June 3, 2019 RFQ Issued June 17, 2019 Written Questions Due from bidders noon, June 26 Addendum Issued June 27, 2019 Responses Due July 10, 2019 Evaluation Period July 11-Jul. 26 Vendor Interviews July 22- July 26 Results Letter Issued July 26, 2019 Appeal Period July 26-August 2 Public Protection Reviews Results August 5, 2019 Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): CONSIDER providing direction to staff on the development of the procurement process for grant writing services for justice-related grants, including recommendations related to Review Panel members, timeline of the process, and outreach activities.
