SUBJECT:
APPROVE SUBMISSION OF GRANT APPLICATION FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE
CALIFORNIA MENTOR INITIATIVE PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S)L BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Community Services Director or designee to submit a grant
application (County #39-835-1) to the California Department of Community Services and
Development for 1996 Community Services Block Grant supplemental funds which will implement
California Mentor Initiative programming for the period from April 1, 1997 through March 31,
1998 in an amount not to exceed $100,000 in maximum reimbursable funding.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No County funding is required. If this grant application is approved by the State, funding from
April through June will be reflected in the Department's FY 1996-97 budget via appropriation
adjustment. The rest of the contract year will be included in the Department's FY 1997-98
proposed budget.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
On March 26, 1996 the Board approved a grant application for California Mentor Initiative (CMI)
funding. The County was not funded. However, since that time, the California Department of
Community Services and Development (State) released another Notice of Funding Availability
(NOFA) for a second-round of CMI funding. The Governor created the CMI with the specific
mission to provide support and guidance to low-income youth in at-risk conditions through adult
mentors. Desired goals as a result of the CMI are to reduce alcohol/drug use, teen pregnancy,
educational failure, gang participation, and violence.

CMI Grant Application
The Department is acting as the lead agency to submit a proposal to the State. In its
NOFA, the State strongly recommended collaboration among agencies on a single
proposal from any county. Thus, the Department is collaborating with the Court
Appointed Special Representatives Program (CASR), New Connections, Neighborhood
House of North Richmond, and Bay Area Community Resources to submit a grant
proposal which will implement a CMI program throughout Contra Costa County.
Collaborating with these organizations increases the County's chances to receive CMI
funding. If this grant application is funded, the Department, as the lead agency, will
receive the funding and be responsible for oversight of overall CMI program
implementation.
