Contra Costa County's allocation for this purpose is $2,788,203. The Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act requires that the local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council be chaired by the County Probation Officer and that the Comprehensive Multiagency Juvenile Justice Plan developed by this body be approved by the Board of Supervisors. Funding from the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) will 'allow Contra Costa County to maintain funding for significant children's services. Funding through JJCPA for fiscal year 2004/2005 will allow for the continuation of the majority of the programs established during the initial year of the grant. The following summarizes the programs proposed for continued funding under JJCPA. 1. Deputy Probation Officers in High Schools Program Initially funded through Challenge Grant I, the Deputy Probation Officers in High Schools Program has been continued the past two years with funding from JJCPA. The program places probation officers in selected high schools and special necessary schools to provide supervision and intervention services for juvenile offenders and other at-risk youth. The program strongly stresses collaboration among schools, Probation and police agencies to provide supervision and treatment services for youth. The proposed comprehensive muitiagency Juvenile Justice plan ',last year added two probation officers to this program, thereby allowing services to be expanded to two additional high schools in the county, and is recommended for continuation. 11. DeputyProbation Officers in Middle Schools Program The Deputy Probation Officers in Middle Schools Program has been based on the high school model to provide intensive supervision for offenders and an array of early intervention services for at-risk youth. This program was initiatedduring the first year of JJCPA funding and is being recommended for continuation at a'reduced level. Ill. Community Probation Program Continued JJCPA funding will allow the eight probation officers currently out-stationed in various police .agencies throughout the County to continue their focus on high risk youth, at-risk youth and chronic offenders. The deputy probation officers implementing this program work non-traditional hours and collaborate closely with police agencies, schools and community-based organizations to help prevent offending behavior and provide appropriate accountability. IV. Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility Aftercare Continued funding will allow for the aftercare program at the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation facility to continue, allowing for a 90 day period of close supervision and support for those minors graduating from the program. A portion of the aftercare program was initially funded by the SafeFutures grant and was continued and enhanced through JJCPA funding. V. Summit Center_Program The Summit Center program represents a collaborative effort between the Probation Department, Children's Mental Health Services, and the County Office of Education to provide residential treatment services for youth in the juvenile justice system in need of mental health and counseling services. Initial funding for this program was, in part, through the SafeFutures grant. Continued JJCPA funding will 'allow the County to continue to fund the Probation staff working at the facility and to allow for the continued leveraging of other funding sources. - 3 - VI. Volunteers in Probation Program Increased costs and a reduction in revenue will not cover the entire expense for this program. This program was initially funded through the SafeFutures grant and had been continued through JJCPA funding. In order to meet budget requirements, it is recommended that the Volunteers in Probation Program be discontinued. VII. Fee for Service funding To more effectively respond to the needs of clients, $100,000 of the JJCPA funds has been designated for the purchase of services on an as-needed basis. This approach is intended to effectively address the service needs of youth on an individual basis in order to provide necessary interventions and services. The County continues to work with a number of community-based organizations in providing this support to children in the justice system. 80/R:Bcpa2004bo.04
