SUBJECT: SUPPORT OF REAUTHORIZATION OF THE OFFICE OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AND
DELINQUENCY PREVENTION
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Authorize the Chair of the Board to sign letter of support for
reauthorization of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
In October 1995, Contra Costa County received a one year $1 .4 million
SafeFutures grant from the Federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention (OJJDP) . The award was to support the implementation of
significant portions of the Juvenile Justice Continuum of Care model
developed by the Juvenile Systems Planning Advisory Committee and adopted by
the Board in October 1994 . Congress is currently considering the
reauthorization of OJJDP.
The intent of the OJJDP is for SafeFutures to be a five year pilot program
and Contra Costa County would receive $1 .4 million each year for five years
for juvenile justice program implementation. Continuation of the SafeFutures
award to Contra Costa County is contingent on our successful implementation
of the grant; the reauthorization of OJJDP; and, allocation of funds to the
SafeFutures pilot program.
