Meeting Date:06/27/2022 Subject:Appointments to the Workforce Development Board Submitted For: Monica Nino, County Administrator Department:County Administrator Referral No.: N/A Referral Name: Advisory Board Appointment Presenter: N/A Contact: Tamia Brown, 925-671-4514 Referral History: On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors (BOS) adopted Resolution No. 2020/1 adopting policy governing appointments to boards, committees, and commissions that are advisory to the BOS. Section III.A. of this resolution states that when an advisory body conducts interviews for at-large/countywide seats, the body's recommendation will be provided to a Board committee for further review, along with all applications received for the applicable seat(s). In all cases, the Board Committee decides which applicants to nominate for full Board action. The Workforce Development Board implements federal requirements for programs to address the education, skills, and employment needs for a skilled workforce, and that lead to an increase in the skills and earnings of Contra Costa residents. On March 14, 2016, the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) accepted the Employment and Human Services Department's recommendation to decertify the then-current Workforce Investment Act local Board and re-certify a new board structure in compliance with the new Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). FHS approved these recommendations, and the Board did the same at its March 29, 2016 meeting. Under new standards in WIOA (2016) and as adopted by the Board on March 29, 2016, the new Workforce Development Board structure is: a total of 23 required seats and 2 "optional seats", consisting of: 13 Business representatives, 5 Workforce representatives, and 5 Education and Training representatives as follows: (1) Adult Education/Literacy; (2) Higher Education; (3) Economic & Community Development; (4) Wagner Peyser representative; (5) Vocational Rehabilitation. Also two additional/"optional" seats that may be filled from any of the 3 categories above. Referral Update: Local board structure and size: Compared to predecessor legislation, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) substantially changes Local Board composition by reducing local workforce development board size while maintaining a business and industry majority and ensuring representation from labor and employment and training organizations. Category – Representatives of Business (WIOA Section 107(b)(2)(A)) Thirteen (13) representatives (52%) Category – Representatives of Workforce (WIOA Section 107(b)(2)(A)) Five (5) representatives (20%) Category – Representatives of Education and Training (WIOA Section 107(b)(2)(C)) (20%) One (1) Adult Education/Literacy Representative (WIOA title II) One (1) Higher Education Representative One (1) Economic and Community Development Representative One (1) Wagner Peyser Representative One (1) Vocational Rehabilitation Representative Two (2) additional seats from the above categories, including constituencies referenced in Attachment III of Training FHS June 27, 2022 Agenda Packet Page 27 of 90 Employment & Guidance Letter (TEGL) 27-14. (8%) On June 8, 2022, the Workforce Development Board Executive Committee approved the recommended reappointment and appointment below. No other candidates competed for the seats. Please see the attached memo and applications for additional information. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): RECOMMEND to the Board of Supervisors the appointment of Jerry L.

Meeting Date:06/27/2022 Subject:Homeless Continuum of Care Annual Update Submitted For: Anna Roth, Health Services Director Department:Health Services Referral No.: 5 Referral Name: Homeless Continuum of Care / Health Care for the Homeless Presenter: Christy Saxton, Health Housing and Homeless Services Director Contact: Christy Saxton, (925) 608-6701 Referral History: In November 2014, the Board approved “Forging Ahead Towards Preventing and Ending Homelessness: An Update to Contra Costa’s 2004 Strategic Plan”, that renewed the County's 2004 plan with the latest data, best practices, and community feedback and reaffirmed the County's commitment to the Housing First approach. As such, “Forging Ahead” establishes this guiding principle: “Homelessness is first a housing issue, and necessary supports and services are critical to help people remain housed. Our system must be nimble and flexible enough to respond through shared responsibility, accountability, and transparency of the community.” The Strategic Plan Update identifies two goals: 1) Decrease the length of time people experience homelessness by focusing on providing Permanent Housing and Services and; 2) Decrease the percentage of people who become homeless by providing Prevention activities. To achieve these goals, three strategies emerged: Implement a coordinated entry/assessment system to streamline access to housing and services while addressing barriers, getting the right resources to the right people at the right time; 1. Use best, promising , and most effective practices to give the consumer the best possible experience through the strategic use of resources; and 2. Develop the most effective platforms to provide access, support advocacy, and connect to the community about homelessness and available resources. 3. The Homeless Program of the Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division partners with the Homeless Advisory Board and Continuum of Care to develop and carry out an annual action plan that identifies the objectives and benchmarks related to each of the goals and strategies of Forging Ahead. Further, the Homeless Program incorporates the strategic plan goals into its own delivery system of comprehensive services, interim housing and permanent supportive housing as well as contracting with community agencies to provide additional homeless services and housing with the goal of ending homelessness in our community. The last annual report to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS) was presented on November 15, 2021 and later accepted by the Board at their December 7, 2021 meeting. Referral Update: Please see the attached memo and presentation for the annual update. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): ACCEPT the Annual Update on Homeless Continuum of Care report and presentation from the Health, Housing and Homeless Services Division of the Health Services Department, and FORWARD to the Board of Supervisors for their information. Fiscal Impact (if any): There is no fiscal impact for accepting this annual report.

Our team has done a tremendous job both responding to the various spikes as well as working to move people in hotel programs into housing or other shelters in preparation for the closing of the remaining Project Roomkey hotels. Delta Landing: Using state Homekey money, the County purchased the former Motel 6 in Pittsburg and, after renovations, reopened it as an interim housing program named Delta Landing in March 2022. The facility, staffed by Bay Area Community Service (BACS), has 172 resident rooms and an on-site health clinic. Shelter Improvements: During the pandemic shut down, the Concord Shelter, Philip Dorn Respite Center and Concord Service Center as well as the Brookside shelter were remodeled and the sites have since reopened. The Concord Shelter and Brookside Shelter now have individual sleep stations that provide privacy and allow for couples and multigenerational adult households to stay together. The Concord Service Center provides showers, laundry, bathrooms and mail, in addition to an outdoor pocket park with kennels for pets and functions as a Warming Center with 6 beds for individuals who need to come indoors but cannot access a shelter. Vouchers H3 and the Coordinated Entry System supports the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County with the identification and matching of clients for a subset of their housing vouchers, including two new types of vouchers our community received within the past two years: 201 Emergency Housing Vouchers (for individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness; at risk of experiencing homelessness; fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking; or were recently FHS June 27, 2022 Agenda Packet Page 47 of 90 Contra Costa Behavorial Health • Contra Costa Emergency Medical Services • Contra Costa Environmental Health • Contra Costa Health Plan • Contra Costa Hazardous Materials • Contra Costa Public Health • Contra Costa Regional Medical Center • Contra Costa Health Centers • Health, Housing and Homeless Services homeless and for whom providing rental assistance will prevent the family’s homelessness or having high risk of housing instability) and 100 Mainstream Vouchers (for non-elderly persons with disabilities). COLLABORATIONS Holistic Intervention Partnership (HIP): HIP relies on a public-private partnership between the Contra Costa Office of the Public Defender, multiple county agencies, and community-based partners to 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. The goal of HIP is to reduce system burden and improve criminal justice outcomes in misdemeanor cases throughout the county. Referred clients have been placed in permanent housing, diverted from entering homelessness or are actively working on housing plans. Homeless Workforce Integration Network (H-WIN): This new meeting series is the product of a collaboration with Workforce Development funded by the Workforce Accelerator Fund 8.0. These bi-monthly meetings provide an opportunity for people working in Homeless Services and Workforce Development in Contra Costa to connect with and understand each other’s resources and services. Four (4) meetings have been held to date, with an average attendance of over 30 people at each meeting. System Partner Map: In late 2021, the CoC launched the Homeless Partner Map which displays connections between homeless services and other partnering services in Contra Costa County. This tool is designed to help local agencies and partners understand how various local systems and partners are currently connected to the homeless system of care. To see the map, go to https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/#Map. SYSTEM INITIATIVES Equity: Using a revised supplemental application and rubric, the Council on Homelessness selected new members for open seats that increased the racial and ethnic diversity and number of people with lived experience. In addition, a technical assistance provider, C4 Innovations, conducted an Equity Assessment of the Homeless System of Care. The Council on Homelessness created a time-limited Equity Working Group to develop a work plan, timeline and recommendations for the Council on Homelessness to operationalize findings from the Equity Assessment. Homelessness Awareness Month: To mark Homelessness Awareness Month (November), the CoC developed a 100+ page toolkit (https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/pdf/Homeless-AwarenesToolkit.pdf) , a 5-minute video amplifying the voices of people with lived experience of homelessness (https://spark.adobe.com/video/g8uFATP1cNCaI), recognized over 50 outstanding individuals and agencies impacting homelessness (https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/awards.php), presented to the Board of Supervisors and hosted a the CoC Learning Hub: "Hearing Other People's Experiences (H.O.P.E.) Beyond Homelessness”, a panel discussion featuring people with lived experience in our community. A recording of the Learning Hub can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/1-V9Su8fnUc. Regional Action Plan: In April 2021, the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors committed to the Regional Action plan, which aims to reduce unsheltered homelessness by 75% by 2024. The Regional Action Plan proposes a 1- 2-4 framework which posits that to accomplish this reduction, for every 1 additional interim housing unit funded, 2 permanent housing solutions, and 4 prevention interventions are needed. The Council on Homelessness developed the Plan for Accelerating Transformative Housing (PATH) Innovations Committee of diverse stakeholders to look at the Regional Action Plan 1:2:4 cost/gaps analysis model and utilize FHS June 27, 2022 Agenda Packet Page 48 of 90 Contra Costa Behavorial Health • Contra Costa Emergency Medical Services • Contra Costa Environmental Health • Contra Costa Health Plan • Contra Costa Hazardous Materials • Contra Costa Public Health • Contra Costa Regional Medical Center • Contra Costa Health Centers • Health, Housing and Homeless Services improvement science techniques to test the effectiveness of selected interventions. H3 is looking forward to collaborating with the other County departments needed to operationalize and implement this action plan. System Improvement -Program Models: Through an extensive community input process, the homeless system of care built a collective definition of each program type for the CoC Written Standards that will form the basis of provider contracts and the performance benchmarks expected. Finalized program models will be incorporated into the CoC Written Standards as well as in the Coordinated Entry Policies and Procedures in the spring, with final incorporations into CoC contracts by July 2022. -Monitoring: In February, the CoC launched a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Compliance Monitoring Process for 19 CoC-funded providers. The purpose of monitoring is to ensure grant activities are following the HUD rules and regulations; improve individual program performance; and increase provider capacity regarding Continuum of Care compliance and financial management. Homebase, a contracted technical assistance provider, is leading the 2022 monitoring process, has completed its document review and is held virtual monitoring site visits with each of the Continuum of Care-funded projects during the first two weeks of June. -Coordinated Entry System Evaluation: An evaluation of our Coordinated Entry System was conducted to identify opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness in connecting people seeking homeless services with permanent housing, a key driver in reducing unsheltered homelessness. Implementation of the finding will begin in the coming months. Point in Time Count - The Point in Time Count, a comprehensive point-in-time count of families and individuals experiencing homelessness in Contra Costa, tallies information about people sleeping in emergency shelters and transitional housing as well as people sleeping in cars, in abandoned properties, or in other places not meant for human habitation. This year, the sheltered count took place on the night of February 23rd and the unsheltered count, supported by over 140 volunteers and staff, took place in the early morning hours on February 24th. The results estimate that 3,093 people were staying in shelter beds or living outdoors in Contra Costa during the count, compared to 2,295 in 2019. A full data set that includes jurisdiction level numbers will be made available later this summer. FUNDING The Continuum of Care continues to focus on utilizing one time/short term funding first, while developing strategies to use longer term funding for things like building infrastructure. The state and federal government continue to release funding to address housing and homelessness through multiple channels and into multiple entities at the County level, including directly to cities, through the Behavioral Health Division, Employment and Human Services Department, the Department of Conservation and Development, reentry programs and more. Stronger collaboration and coordination between these entities is needed to maximize the effectiveness of this funding. Federal -Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) funding: This year Contra Costa was awarded $16,848,402 through of HUD CoC funding, which included a $716,332 Domestic Violence bonus allocation for a new project called “Project Home SAFE”. The HUD CoC funding pays for supportive housing programs like Permanent Supportive Housing and Rapid Rehousing, FHS June 27, 2022 Agenda Packet Page 49 of 90 Contra Costa Behavorial Health • Contra Costa Emergency Medical Services • Contra Costa Environmental Health • Contra Costa Health Plan • Contra Costa Hazardous Materials • Contra Costa Public Health • Contra Costa Regional Medical Center • Contra Costa Health Centers • Health, Housing and Homeless Services management and maintenance of the Homeless Management Information System and our Coordinated Entry System, which streamlined the intake, assessment, and referral of over 3,000 people last year to homeless system resources. -Transitional Living Program (TLP): H3 submitted an application for this funding in June 2022. TLP funding helps provide safe, stable, and appropriate shelter for runaway and homeless youth ages 16 to under 22 for up to 18 months and, under extenuating circumstances, can be extended to 21 months. STATE -Encampment Resolution: The City of Richmond was among 19 communities in California to receive funding from the state to address encampments. Richmond will receive $4.8 million in Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF), the second largest award in the state, over a two-year period and will focus specifically on the 100+ person Castro Street vehicle encampment, using evidence-based clinical case management and intensive social service and housing navigation support. H3 provided technical support to the city to submit the application and an H3 CORE outreach team was written into the grant. - Family Challenge Grant: In March, the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) released a Request for Applications (RFA) for a Family Homelessness Challenge Grant (FHC-1) to provide one-time grants and technical assistance to local jurisdictions and continuums of care to address and end family homelessness. Thirty million ($30 m) will be distributed across a minimum of two rounds of funding. The RFA for Round 1 is for funds totaling $15 million and awards will be determined through this competitive RFA process. Contra Costa has applied for this funding and is expected to get notification by the end of June. - Homeless, Housing and Assistance Program (HHAP3): HHAP Round 3 is a $1 billion grant through the California Homeless Coordinating and Financing Council that provides local jurisdictions, including federally recognized tribal governments, with flexible funding to continue efforts to end and prevent homelessness in their communities. H3 has gathered community input on the possible priorities for the $6.6 million ($3,434,907.05 going to the CoC and $3,205,913.24 going to the County) expected to be received after submitting the Homeless Action Plan required by the State. The plan includes measurable goals to be accomplished by June 30, 2024, was informed by local landscape analysis and has all- populations goal as well as equity focused goals. - Homekey 3: H3 will be applying for a Homekey 3 allocation this fall, for a 54-unit Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) project in San Pablo. Other jurisdictions within Contra Costa are eligible to apply individually for this funding as well. -Pet Assistance and Support (PAS): H3 has applied for a portion of the $10m PAS grant offered by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The grant allows qualified homeless shelters to provide shelter, pet food and supplies, and basic veterinary services for pets owned by individuals experiencing homelessness, along with staffing and liability insurance related to providing those services. These services and accommodations reduce barriers, making shelter and services accessible to people who otherwise would not access these resources.

Accept this report from the Health Services Department; and 2. Forward this report to the Board of Supervisors for acceptance; and 3. Direct staff to continue to report on an annual basis to the Family and Human Services Committee regarding health status of the homeless population in Contra Costa County by the Health Care for the Homeless Program. Background Since 1990, the Health Care for the Homeless (HCH) Program has provided health care services to people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in Contra Costa County through regular mobile clinics, street medicine outreach, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) ambulatory clinics at the Concord shelter with a Medical Respite facility, as well as mobile and ambulatory dental clinics. The program is funded through a federal grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and successfully completed a site review in July 2021 with no findings. The program is governed by the Health Care for the Homeless Governing Board, which consists of homeless consumers and homeless service providers and advocates from throughout the County. The HCH program serves over 1,500 unique patients annually, completing over 6,000 appointments across all service sites. Health care services provided by the HCH team focus on primary prevention and harm reduction services with every encounter and includes assessment, triage and treatment of urgent medical and FHS June 27, 2022 Agenda Packet Page 61 of 90 2 mental health concerns and management of chronic conditions in partnership with primary care and Behavioral Health. Harm reduction services include substance use disorder assessment as well as point of care testing for infectious disease with treatment available same day and facilitation of treatment for conditions such as Hepatitis C. Referrals to establish with primary and specialty care, dental services, health education, behavioral health services, medication assisted treatment for opioid addiction, and outreach and enrollment services are available. A significant portion of PEH have chronic diseases, including congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, and mental health/substance abuse disorders with life expectancy of PEH far below the average for housed individuals of the same demographic. HCH operates the 26 bed Phillip Dorn Medical Respite Center for homeless adults who are discharging from local hospitals and require medical stabilization services. Respite care refers to recuperative services for those homeless persons who may not meet medical criteria for hospitalization, but who are too sick or medically vulnerable to reside in an emergency shelter and cannot be returned to the streets. This program is a joint effort between Health Care for the Homeless and the Division of Health, Housing & Homeless Services . Additionally, HCH has received Substance Abuse Expansion funding to develop a Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program since 2015. This program provides buprenorphine treatment and substance abuse case management services to homeless patients at five health center locations. The program has received national attention for its innovative approach to treating Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) using Buprenorphine combined with nursing and behavioral care management support. The program also includes Public Health Nurses and Mental Health Clinicians dedicated to managing OUD patients in homeless encampments with the street medicine team. CCHS has presented on these services at the National Health Care for the Homeless Conference and the National Street Medicine Conference in 2019. The HCH team is comprised of over 30 FTE of clinical and non-clinical staff, including medical, dental and behavioral providers, and enabling staff. In 2021, the HCH program hired two new leadership staff, Medical Director, Heather Cedermaz, and Nurse Program Manager, Mia Fairbanks. Heather joined the Contra Costa Public Health Clinic Services team in 2001 and has been dedicated to our mission of improving the health of the most vulnerable as a primary care provider, specialty services in breast health and oncology and in population- based care with CommunityConnect and HCH. In addition to her role as a provider, Heather is the Nurse Practitioner Division Head. Mia Fairbanks came to us from Emergency Medical Services where she dedicated her time for 10 years as the coordinator of the Stroke and STEMI systems of care and previous 17 years working as a nurse in the emergency department. Most recently with CCHS Public Health, she has been managing the COVID vaccination and testing mobile team. FHS June 27, 2022 Agenda Packet Page 62 of 90 3 Since last year, HCH has added a health clinic at the new Delta Landing site in Pittsburg in collaboration with the Health, Housing and Homeless (H3) Division and Bay Area Community Services (BACS). As of March 2022, HCH ha s also begun providing mobile dental services at this site. Additionally, HCH teams continue to provide COVID-19 testing, surveillance, and vaccinations for Contra Costa homeless populations. As of June 2021, over 4,800 persons experiencing homelessness have been fully vaccinated and nearly 10,000 tests have been performed. The HCH program also provides onsite services for individuals housed at the county’s hotel isolation site for persons experiencing homelessness or otherwise unable to isolate or quarantine. In 2022 hotel placements peaked in January during the Omicron surge with an average daily occupancy rate of 60 individuals. While demand has decreased during the year the site continues to house an average of 20 individuals a day. This year, the program formally adopted a new three-year strategic plan, outlining program priorities and quality improvement focus areas. Plan goals and objectives are divided across key domains including 1) clinical services & quality improvement, 2) partnerships & communications, 3) planning & oversight, and 4) program finances & staffing. Clinical focus areas align with national quality metrics reported annually to HRSA. In 2021 HCH reported improvements in most clinical measures, signaling a return to pre-pandemic rates following 2020 declines. Promising improvements included a 15% increase in colorectal cancer screening, 6% increase in breast cancer screening, and 20% increase in depression screening with documentation of a follow up plan for individuals screening positive. Additional strategic plan priorities include continued expansion of direct Medication Assisted Treatment services, developing new workflows to support the aging homeless population, and increasing awareness, transparency, and access to program services through collaborations with stakeholder groups.

FAMILY JUSTICE CENTERS The Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance, a 501c3 nonprofit, operates three Family Justice Centers in Antioch, Concord, and Richmond. The Family Justice Center (the Center) is a one-stop center for families affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse, child abuse, and human trafficking. The Family Justice Center coordinates with 65 on-site partners so clients can get safer sooner. The Family Justice Center was created in 2011 as a project of the Alliance to End Abuse (The Alliance) and gained its nonprofit status in 2015. The Alliance continues to support the development of the Center, and County departments remain essential partners among many, supporting residents who are accessing the centers. In 2021, the Family Justice Centers provided services to 5,254 individuals who experienced interpersonal violence (2,210 clients from Central Center, 1,982 clients from West Center and 1,062 from East Center). This was an 18% increase in the number of clients from 2020. Those services impacted an additional 4,029 children living with these clients. Since 2015, the need for services at the Center has increased, and the number of clients served has increased from 1,217 families in 2015 to 5,254 families in 2021. FHS June 27, 2022 Agenda Packet Page 76 of 90 2 Number of Clients served at Contra Costa Family Justice Centers, 2015 - 2021 The Family Justice Center regularly evaluates the top needs of clients and seeks to fill service gaps through enhanced and innovative programming. In 2021, the Family Justice Center remained open to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic for in person and virtual/phone services. During the pandemic, the Center formed new partners and collaborated on innovative projects to deliver safe and impactful programs to victims of interpersonal violence. Recognizing that mental health was an issue due to COVID social distancing recommendations, the Center enhanced its mental health services by offering several different counseling options for clients of any age. This included starting the Trauma Recovery Center in July 2021, which provides free counseling to all victims of violent crime. The Center collaborated with emergency room doctors through Vituity Healthcare to pilot the TeleCare telehealth urgent care for victims of interpersonal violence so that victims can get care from a safe and confidential place. To respond to survivors that do not have their own bank accounts, the Center partnered with Community Financial Resources to provide underbanked individuals with open reloadable debit cards and offered incentives towards their savings goals.

To improve identification of sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, stalking, and human trafficking, the Center, along with the Alliance to End Abuse, are improving outreach efforts and best practices for identifying those cases. Through the Elder Abuse Prevention Project, awareness campaigns and coordinated resources are being implemented to increase awareness of elder abuse. Through the Human Trafficking Coalition, law enforcement agencies and service providers are collaborating to create streamlined community awareness campaigns and focused efforts to provide information to victims of sexual and labor trafficking.

The program's mission is to eliminate the exploitation of children and build a system of care that addresses the needs of at-risk youth and survivors across Child Welfare, Probation, and the Contra Costa community. The CFS CSEC Services Team works by following the mandate of ensuring that identification, documentation, and services are provided for all CSE youth. The Team meets monthly to review any new legal mandates or updates from the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) and discuss program needs and resources to increase CSE awareness, identification, and referrals for services. Since the program's inception in 2015, there have been innovative additions to create a safety net for the youth we serve. One of the supporting components of the program is the countywide Interagency Steering Committee. The Interagency Steering Committee provides ongoing oversight and leadership to ensure all Contra Costa County departments and community service providers collaborate to identify and serve at-risk youth or survivors of commercial sexual exploitation. Additionally, the Interagency Protocol for Serving Commercially Sexually Exploited Children in Contra Costa County was revised last year to include the Contra Costa County Office of Education and the County Sheriff's Department. Each month, the CFS CSEC Services team and Juvenile Probation Department co-facilitate this meeting, where the Family Justice Center, Community Violence Solutions, and the Alliance to End Abuse meet to discuss high-risk CSEC cases to identify and assess system-involved youth who have lived experience or are at risk of commercial sexual exploitation. Those identified are nominated for case discussion at the Human Trafficking Multidisciplinary Team (HT MDT) case review for further guidance by HT MDT members such as health professionals, social workers, advocates, and law enforcement. Over the recent years, the CSEC/Y program identified that a significant number of youth were missing from care, which puts them at an even higher risk of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. As a result, in April 2022, CFS began a pilot program in partnership with Love Never Fails (LNF) to operate a "Search and Recovery" Program for exploited youth missing from care in Contra Costa County. Love Never Fails staff are fueled with love and equipped with a Recovery Investigator and Clinical Case Manager, each of whom provides recovery case management and community outreach and offers support to Children and Family Services as we make concerted efforts to locate and serve youth who go missing from care. There continues to be ongoing training for social workers and community members to increase the identification of CSE youth. The continual collaborative efforts have led to the training of community partners to screen all youth ages ten and older with the Commercial Sexual Exploitation Identification Tool (CSE-IT). CFS has trained many professionals, resource caregivers, community partners, and service providers on a range of topics from Harm Reduction, CSEC Red Flags, and the intersection of CSEC and Child Labor Trafficking. Contra Costa's Juvenile Probation and Public Health Departments also utilize this screening tool.
