SUBJECT: JUVENILE CRIME ENFORCEMENT AND ACCOUNTABILITY CHALLENGE

SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
ItF.C`,'(lMMFN-NA'T'ION:
ADOPT the attached Resolution,which supercedes Resolution No. 99/64,which
authorizes the County Pronation Officer to apply for and sign Contra Costa County's
demonstration grant application for State funding for the Juvenile Crime Enforcement
and Accountability Challenge Chant as well as grant contract, amendments, and/or
extensions. This provides necessary assurances to the State Board of Corrections and
identifies the members of the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council,which is required as
a part of the grant application.
BACKGROUND:
The State of California, under Senate Bill 2108 (Chapter 502, Statutes of 1998), provided
$50 million for a second round of Challenge Grants and the 199899 Budget Act
provided an additional $10 million for implementation of these grants.
This Challenge Grant money is entirely independent of 1997`s Challenge Grant and
counties are eligible to reapply for another grant even if, as in Contra Costa's case,they
had been awarded a grant in 1997. There is a State match required of 25%, and the Board
of Corrections has been designated as the administering agency for the grant.
These grants will require a local action plan, as well as a Juvenile Justice Coordinating
Council. These requirements are already in place in Contra Costa County. The attached
Resolution reconfirms Contra Costa County's compliance with Board of Corrections
requirements in this grant application process.

2 _PROGRAM DFSCRII_PTION:
Upon review by the Coordinating Council of the Continuum of Care and also through the
process of updating the local action plan, it was the consensus of the Council to focus the
demonstration projects on the needs of girls in the system. As the Board of Corrections
allows a county to apply for funding for multiple projects, two proposals will be put
forward:
Co munfty "m ay X're&Invent:
In partnership with Children's Mental Health and the County School's
Department of Alternative Education, as well as the Probation Department, a
project proposal to open three day treatment centers for high risk female juveniles
based in community based organizations in three locations throughout the county
will be presented to the Board of Corrections. Twenty to thirty slots per site will
be available to serve this population with services ranging from education,
vocational services, substance abuse counseling, health education and mental
health services. The Probation Department will provide management of the
overall project, however, the day to day site management will be done by the
community based agencies selected through a"request for proposals"process in
collaboration with Children's Mental Health.
I1 ng Skill Fno+aw Vawe:
This project develops transitional housing for female youth who have successfully
completed the treatment phase of their placement in a residential facility,but need
a base on which to build emotional and financial support to return to society as an
emancipated adult. The program would consist of a licensed foster home whose
foster care rate is supplemented to allow the foster parents to provide a greater
range of services. The residents would also receive a small monthly stipend.
Services would be monitored by a halftime probation officer.
FIS .At, iyIPAC"f':
The Board of Corrections requires a minimum of a 25%match by the county, however, it
is not necessary for the match to be county funds. In both of the projects being proposed,
the necessary match requirements can be met through the federal funds which will be
generated by the projects. It is estimated that the total project costs of the three year grant
cycle for the day treatment program will be$6,618,681. The county will require
$3,589,842 from the Board of Corrections with the remaining funding to be absorbed by
other state and federal sources. The cost for the three year grant cycle of the living skills
foster home is estimated to be$308,772. The proposal will request $226,158 in grant
funding with the remaining costs covered through other state and federal revenue sources.
