SUMMARY:
Probation recommends the approval of Amendment No.1 to the Agreement with Community Human Services (CHS), a 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation, in the amount of $38,500, for a total not to exceed amount of $135,700, to provide family counseling and treatment and substance abuse prevention services for youth under Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) programs.
DISCUSSION:
CHS was allocated JJCPA funding in the amount of $97,200, for fiscal year 2019 - 2020 to provide family counseling and treatment, and substance abuse prevention services for youth at the Silver Star Resource Center (SSRC). Drug and Alcohol Intervention Services for Youth (DAISY) managed by CHS, provides intervention and education services for substance abusing youth ages 13-18 who are referred by parents, schools, Social Services, Monterey County Behavioral Health, and Probation. The demand for DAISY services has more than doubled and has resulted in a waitlist of more than fifty (50) youth. This supplemental funding will support an additional Counselor to increase the number of youth served for the remainder of the contract term through June 30, 2020.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Amendment has been approved by the Office of County Counsel-Risk Management as to legal form, and by the Auditor-Controller as to fiscal terms.
FINANCING:
Funds associated with this recommendation are allocated by the State for Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) programs. Funding for all JJCPA programs has been authorized in the current state budget and is included in Probation’s Approved Budget Unit 8162 for FY 2019-20. There is no cost to the County General Fund associated with this recommendation.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
This recommendation to provide housing and employment services supports key objectives of: 1) Health and Human Services by providing access to County services that improve their quality of life and support strong, healthy families; and 2) Public Safety by encouraging positive life choices to aid in crime prevention.
