STATEMENT OF NEED 1.1 Gang and Youth Violence Problem: The City of San Bernardino has been challenged by an increasing level of gang-related crime and activity that impacted the city for decades. A multitude of factors influence the situation including lack of employment, poverty, low levels of education, higher than average school dropout and delinquency rates. These factors create an environment ripe for gang activity and crime, which prompted the City of San Bernardino to form Operation Phoenix. Operation Phoenix (OP) is a multi-jurisdictional neighborhood-based approach to reducing crime and violence. The purpose of OP is to provide a data-driven, coordinated response to crime and related family and youth issues in targeted areas in the City of San Bernardino. The City of San Bernardino has experienced a decrease in gang-related violence and residents are feeling more comfortable in their neighborhoods since the beginning of OP (California State University San Bernardino Survey, 2007). The success achieved by OP in just over two years represents the collective efforts of many agencies and organizations. The City of San Bernardino remains in an at-risk situation for gang crime and violence; however, continued support and resources are vital to sustain and further improve life within the city. The City of San Bernardino continues to experience economic challenges resulting from the loss of its three largest employers during the late 1990's. Property values and rents continue to be depressed and lower than surrounding cities within the county (U.S. Census Bureau, 2000). The entire city is part of an Enterprise Zone pursuant to Government Code Section 7082. The designated enterprise zone is the San Bernardino Valley Enterprise Zone (SBVE Zone), which is a shared zone which includes sections of three cities: Colton, Rialto, and San Bernardino. The SBVE Zone meets the standard for two bonus criteria: poverty level and unique distress. A high level of gang activity in the City of San Bernardino is identified as one as well as poverty level. According to census data, 94% of the census tracVblock populations live below City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 the poverty level. Unemployment is approximately 10% higher than the statewide average. The median household income in the city is $38,084/year as compared to the county median at $49,026/year. Within the OP target areas the median income hovers around $21 ,500Iyear. As the county seat, the City of San Bernardino is the center of county social services and serves as a magnet, attracting unemployed and homeless individuals in need of assistance. According to the San Bernardino County Human Services 2008 Report, County Residents Receiving Aid by Cities, the City of San Bernardino has 20.2% of its residence receiving some sort of public assistance amounting to over $364,000,000 per year, the most in San Bernardino County. The population of the City of San Bernardino has a low level of educationallacademic achievement. Educational achievement for those 25 years or older shows 26% high school graduates, 22% some college but no degree, 6% possess an Associate's degree, 8% Bachelor's degree, 3% graduate level degrees (U.S. Census Bureau, 2000). Over 40% of the population, 25 years or older, do not have a high school diploma or GED. These educational and economic demographics illustrate the vulnerability of this population to criminal and gang activity. The lower educational attainment can be directly correlated to the lower than average household incomes and the propensity to require government aid. According to 2004 U.S. Census Bureau tabulations, adults age 18 and older with a Bachelor's Degree earned an average of $51,554, while those with a high school diploma earned $28,645, those without a high school diploma earned an average of $19,169. These economic factors undoubtedly form components of a recipe for the presence of gang influence and activity (Richardson, 2001). The situation within the city schools is tenuous, leading to a significant gang influence. The City of San Bernardino Unified School District suffers from a relatively high school dropout rate of 34.5% compared to the state average of 24.2% (California Department of Education, 2008). During the 2006-2007 school years, the district had over 80 expulsions and over 5,700 suspensions that were violence- or drug-related (California Department of Education, 2008). City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 More than 1,000 students are enrolled in continuation classes and 255 students are in pregnant or parenting school programs. The problems associated with gang members in schools are becoming more of an issue for school administrators and police. A 2004 Gangs and Drug Taskforce Preliminary Report, which surveyed schools in San Bernardino County, indicated that approximately 72% of schools responding indicated that there were indicators of gang presence on their campuses. Approximately 50% of the responding middle and high schools said that the gang presence increased problems on school grounds. The San Bernardino City Unified School District Police report that there are over 1,000 identified gang members within the school system. During the 2007-8 school year the San Bernardino City Unified School District Police reported over 2,500 documented gang related incidents. School officials thus are required to focus more of their resources to combating gang-related problems and less on student learning. High school and middle school students expressed anxiety about coming to campus due to the intimidating presence of gangs in and around school. The City of San Bernardino's crime rate, particularly those categorized as Class 1 Violent Crimes, has historically been one of the highest in California. Comparisons with other neighboring cities, with similar demographics, and county and state indices clearly indicate the need for sustained support and resources directed within the City of San Bernardino. The violent crime index has been nearly double that of the state and neighboring communities within the county (See Table 1). TABLE 1: Per Capita Part I Violent Crime Rates Der 1.000 2005 2006 2007 San Bernardino Citv 13 10 11 San Bernardino Countv 4.9 4.9 4.8 Ontario 5.2 5.7 4.9 California State 5.1 5.2 5.2 Fontana 4.6 4.9 5.1 City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 Over the past decade, the City of San Bernardino experienced a large increase in gang- related criminal activity, memberships and associations. The city has been heavily impacted by this trend resulting in a decreased quality of life and a flight of middle class residents to neighboring cities. The city continues to experience a high level of gang activity and gang- related crimes arising from traditional home-grown gangs, as well as gangs that migrated from Los Angeles and other larger metropolitan areas. Gang activity occurs throughout the city but is heavily concentrated in the California Gardens, Arden and Guthrie neighborhoods. The San Bernardino Police Department identified 6 Caucasian, 12 African American, 12 Hispanic and 6 Asian gangs that are active in the city. There are 3,798 known gang members in the City of San Bernardino (City of San Bernardino Police). The County of San Bernardino estimates the countywide gang population to range between 11,000 to 13,000, thus making the City of San Bernardino home to nearly a quarter of the entire county gang population. After seven months of deployment, an initial report on the OP Neighborhood Initiative found that as a result of the focused crime fighting efforts; overall crime in the area had decreased by nearly 38%. A Quality of Life Survey, conducted by California State University, San Bernardino found that in eight months, the percent of residents who perceived the neighborhood as unsafe, declined by 40%. A recent report by city and county officials highlighted OP's success and cost effectiveness. The report found that violent crime fell 21 % citywide and 38% in the target neighborhood in the last six months of 2006 compared with the same time period in 2005. Since the initiative began, there have been no homicides in the target area. The city's violent crime rate is now at its lowest point in a decade, translating to 2,100 fewer victims. Robberies and theft in the target neighborhood were cut by more than half. The report also found that after factoring in county contributions and city resources that would have been spent regardless of OP, the city has spent less than $1 million on the new initiative. In addition, a January 2007 City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 survey by criminal justice professors at California State University-San Bernardino found that residents felt safer and were less worried about being victims of crime. Although the crime rate is still intolerably high, the statistics indicate a downward trend. The per capita crime rate for Part I Violent and Property Crimes l1as been declining since 2000 (SeeTable 2).

Support from programs such as CalGRIP will allow a continuation of focused-resources to bring down crime rates and create a safer city.

Understanding the increased risk factors and the increased City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 probability of 14-17 year olds in the City of San Bernardino becoming involved in gangs and an increase in the probability in those youth becoming part of the juvenile, and adult justice system, the City of San Bernardino Cal GRIP Program proposes to provide prevention and intervention services through the evidence-based Urban Youth Conservation Corps. 18-25 Year Olds, Transitional-Age Young Adults, Male and Female: Upon the passage of SB 81 (realignment of non-serious and non-violent offenders to County custody), there are approximately 45, 18-25 year old California Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) parolees in the City of San Bernardino (DJJ Parole, 2008). All are considered to be "serious and violent" offenders. According to the San Bernardino County Probation Department, there are 898, 18- 25 year old Probationers in the City of San Bernardino with 82% male and 18% female population. This program will target 40, 18-25 year old probationers and 10, 18-25 year old parolees under jurisdiction of DJJ. 1.3 Target Area: The City of San Bernardino is located in the east valley of the County of San Bernardino approximately 60 miles east of Los Angeles. As the county seat, the City of San Bernardino is the center of county social services and serves as a magnet attracting unemployed and homeless individuals in need of assistance. On June 6, 2006, Mayor Patrick J. Morris initiated the city's first "OP" project, a holistic approach of leveraging local, state and federal resources to eradicate long-term, chronic crime, blight and social issues facing distressed neighborhoods. OP serves the region of the City of San Bernardino, specifically targeted areas within the City, which are identified as high crime and have a multitude of risk factors for families and children. The demographics of the OP area are: 59% Hispanic; 23% African American; 11% White; 3% other and 4% unknown. Throughout the County, 65% of residents own their homes. In the OP target area, only 20% of residents own their homes, 74% are renters and 6% other situations. The income for the primary OP target area was approximately $21,500 as compared to the county median at $49,026. The pilot neighborhood was a single Police Reporting District consisting of a 20-block area located between Waterman City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 Avenue and Sierra Way, and Baseline Avenue and 16th Street. This area was selected as it had a high concentration of Part I crimes (murders, rapes, robberies, assaults, burglaries, and grant theft automobiles) in the City as well as blight and chronic social service and economic needs. Over the year of OP, crime in the OP target neighborhood was reduced by 33% through effective collaborations and by building trust through interaction and neighborhood residents. Since inception, two additional areas have been added to the OP Target Areas: 1) California Gardens 2) Arden (Highland) and Guthrie. The California Gardens target area is located in the northwestern city limits, adjacent to the City of Rialto. The neighborhood consists primarily of single family homes with a spattering of businesses along the major arterial roads that form the eastern and southern boundaries. 46.59% of the residents are renters. Census information shows that 45.1% of the residents are Black, 22.7% are White, and 45.5% are Hispanic (any Race). The per capita income of $11,714 is 22.9% lower than the City average and 33.2% lower than the State average. The San Bernardino Police Department has identified five street gangs active with this 3 mi2 area. Three are currently under a civil gang injunction. On June 6, 2006, several Hispanic male juveniles were playing basketball at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School when two African American male suspects approached them and asked them where they were from. When they responded, one of the suspects fired multiple rounds from a handgun, killing an 11-year old Hispanic boy and wounding his friend. The Arden and Guthrie residential neighborhood is located in the northeastern city limits and includes the unincorporated county areas and the City of Highland. The neighborhood consists of multi-unit housing apartments mixed with single family homes. 71.98% of the residents are renters. Census information shows that 26.58% of the residents are Black, 39.82 White, 44.13% are Hispanic (any Race). The per capita income of $10,228 is 32.7% lower than the City average, and 38.1% lower than the State averagei. 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal . GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 2.1 Planned Approach: As a member of the Thirteen-City Gang Prevention Initiative (An initiative under the National League of Cities' Institute for Youth, Education and Families in partnership with the National Council on Crime and Delinquency), The City San Bernardino's OP Collaborative Cal GRIP Program utilizes a comprehensive city-wide plan that interweave prevention, intervention, reentry, job training, family and community services and enforcement through evidence-based, best practice programs. Understanding that different age groups of youth have differing needs and thus require unique programmatic solutions, the SB OPC Cal GRIP Program utilizes two separate and distinct programs: The San Bernardino National Forest Association Urban Youth Conservation Corps (SBNFAUYCC), an evidence-based, best practices program will be utilized for the at-risk 14-17 year old age group and Wraparound/Case Management, an evidence-based, best practices program will be utilized for the 18-25 year old Probationer/Parolee population. 14-17 Year Old Age Group Project Design: Understanding that the City of San Bernardino has a low graduation rate, high dropout rate and live in areas with high per capita Part I Violent Crime Rate, youth between the ages of 14-17 living in the OP target areas are often at-risk for involvement in gangs resulting in involvement with the juvenile, and ultimately, the adult corrections system. The SBNFAUYCC improves the environment through specific conservation work projects; and raise people's consciousness about their environment. Conservation Corps are an important part of a nation's effort to promote environmental awareness and while addressing specific local needs, thus providing ample opportunity for adoption to local conditions. In addition, Corps provides a powerful tool to teach environmentally beneficial job skills. Learning by doing is the underlying educational principal of Conservation Corps. According to a 2007 report by the Corps Network, "The Corps is a proven, effective means of addressing a wide array of challenges facing young people, including a lack of education, insufficient job skills and court involvement. The Corps annually enroll 23,000 young people who City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 contribute 13 million hours of service per year and operate in 41 states and the District of Columbia through 113 Service and Conservation Corps." Through the signature activity of OP, the OP Street Team Sweep, and at-risk youth will be referred to the San Bernardino National Forest Urban Youth Conservation Corps (SBNFAUYCC). A cohort of 20 at-risk, 14-17 year old youth from the OP area will become SBNFAUYCC members. Each youth corps members is expected to 1) perform conservation service on the San Bernardino National Forest and the City of San Bernardino local parks, 2) attend weekly membership development training, and 3) attend educational enrichment if needed.

A SB OPC Cal GRIP Program Service Flow Chart is presented as APPENDIX D 18-25 Year Old Age Group Project Design: The Operation Phoenix Collaborative consists of San Bernardino County Agencies (including, but not limited to Probation, Behavioral Health, Public Health, District Attorney, Public Defender, Children and Family Service, Sheriff, etc.) as well as California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Parole and many community- and faith-based organizations. The Operation Phoenix Program (OP) has been acknowledged by Jack Calhoun, founder and President/CEO of the National Crime Prevention Council, "Frankly, San Bernardino's Project Operation Phoenix has produced stunning results, results that other cities wish to emulate. The results can be described in terms of leadership, courageous reorganization of city services, a dramatic Operation Phoenix in crime, and an increase in the quality of life for those living in the Operation Phoenix area." Linking OP Collaborative agencies via the Wraparound/Case Management Model provides transitional age youth, ages 18-25, who are on probation and/or parole, with comprehensive services and intensive case management. Through referrals from the Operation Phoenix Street Team, Catholic Charities of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties (Catholic Charities) will perform the duties of the lead case manager providing WraparoundlCase Management. Catholic Charities is a local leader in assisting families with limited resources whom are often facing multiple issues or problems. Thousands of families benefit from the work of Catholic Charities each year. In FY 2007-2008, over 17,000 households benefited from Catholic Charities' services throughout the two-county (San Bernardino and Riverside) area. Services are based on individual/family needs and vary from prevention-based to crisis-based. In an effort to stabilize and strengthen individuals and families, Catholic Charities provides these services through a collaborative fashion with other community agencies. Catholic Charities has traditionally served as a "last resort" for families in need of assistance. They have much experience in Wraparound/Case Management. Serving the 18-25 year old, probationer/parolee City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal , GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 population requires an organization with experience. Since 1985, Catholic Charities has provided pre-release and re-entry services for parolees, probationers, and their families. These services include pre-release classes and case management services following their release. Staff works directly with inmates from the California Rehabilitation Correctional (CRC) Facility, Glen Helen County Jail, and West Valley Detention Center. Important to Wraparound/Case Management is committed and persistent staff and the creation of programs that are culturally competent and strengths-based'. Wraparound/Case Management, a complex intervention strategy designed to keep delinquent youth in their homes and out of institutions. Participants are "wrapped" by a comprehensive assortment of individualized services and support networks rather than requiring the participants to become involved in them to enroll in inflexible, standardized treatment programs. The SSC OPC Cal GRIP Program provides a highly structured, integrated services environment. According to the National Mental Health Association (NMHA), U.S. Surgeon General's Office, the National Wraparound Initiative, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Wraparound/Case Management includes: . A collaborative, community-based interagency team that is responsible for implementing, and overseeing the wraparound initiative in a given jurisdiction. . A formal interagency agreement that records the proposed design of the wraparound initiative and spells out exactly how the wraparound effort will work . Care coordinators who are responsible for helping participants create a customized treatment program and for guiding participants and their families through the system of care. . Child and family teams consisting of family members, paid service providers, and community members (such as teachers and mentors), who know the participant under treatment and are familiar with his or her changing needs.

Bruns, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, October 24, 2004 City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 . A unified plan of care developed and updated collectively by all the members of the participant and family team. This plan of care identifies the participant's specific strengths and weaknesses in different areas, targets specific goals for them, and outlines the steps necessary to achieve those goals, . Systematic, outcomes-based services: Require clearly defined performance measures, which are used to track the progress of the wraparound initiative and guide its evolution over time. After referrals from the OP Street Team and/or Probation/Parole, the SSC OPC Cal GRIP Program provides Wraparound/Case Management through the lead partner-Catholic Charities. Wraparound Services will be provided by the SSC OPC Cal GRIP Program partnering organizations. Utilizing the foundation of Mazlow's Hierarchy of Needs2, through the SSC OPC Cal GRIP Program partners, Catholic Charities will first ensure the participant's primary needs are met, before moving to meet secondary and tertiary needs, Through a previous award from the Cal GRIP Employment Development Department for providing employment services to at- risk youth, the San Sernardino Employment Training Agency (SSETA), 18-25 year old participating in the SSC OPC Cal GRIP Program will receive comprehensive employment services, including pre-employment training, placement and retention services, Table 4 shows the organizations which have committed to either providing service(s) to participants, tracking and reporting data, and, if necessary, participate in monthly Partner Meetings: TABLE 4: Partnerln Organizations Vista Guidance Centers SB Countv Probation Denartment Mustard Seed Tutorial Center SB County District Attnv's Office The Inland Empire Center for Restorative SB County Department of Behavioral Justice Health Youna Visionaries Youth Leadershio Academy SB County Deoartment of Public Health Priscilla's Heloina Hands Deoartment of Children's Services Catholic Charities of SB and Riverside Counties Children's Network SBNFA Urban Youth Conservation Coros Children's Fund 2 A.H.

IN CONCLUSION: The evidence-based Operation Phoenix Foundation has created meaningful change in the once-troubled City of San Bernardino, According to the Morgan Quitno Press, San Bernardino was 16th most dangerous U.S, city in 2003, In 2004, the ranking was lowered to 18. In 2005, the City of San Sernardino's Most Dangerous ranking dropped to number 24. Operation Phoenix has contributed to this increase in safety. San Bernardino is proud of the development the community has made. In 2006, the Morgan Quinto Press ranked the City of San Sernardino number 42-noting a significant increase in the safety of those living in the City. A recent report by city and county officials highlighted Operation Phoenix's success and cost effectiveness. The report found that violent crime fell 21 percent citywide and 38 percent in the City of San Bernardino Operation Phoenix Collaborative Cal GRIP Proposal ~ .. .. GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, Cal GRIP Request For Proposal, 11/2008 target neighborhood in the last six months of 2006 compared with the same time period in 2005. Since the initiative began, there have been no homicides in the target area. The city's violent crime rate is now at its lowest point in a decade, translating to 2,100 fewer victims. Op has reduced youth homicides by firearms by 67% since it started in July 2006. Robberies and theft in the target neighborhood were cut by more than half, The report also found that after factoring in county contributions and city resources that would have been spent regardless of Operation Phoenix, the city spent less than $1 million on the new initiative. In addition, a January 2007 survey by criminal justice professors at California State University-San Sernardino found that residents felt safer and were less worried about being victims of crime. Through funding from the Governor's Office of Emergency Services Law Enforcement and Victim Services Division, Cal GRIP for Cities, needed evidence-based programs will target 14 to 17 year old at-risk youth population and for the often difficult to serve 18 to 25 year old probationer/parolee population living in the Operation Phoenix area. Partnering agencies have committed to providing leverages in service of over $2.4 million from the County of San Sernardino (Operation Phoenix in-kind) and nearly $400,000 from nonprofit and City partners. San Sernardino looks forward to providing the citizens of San Sernardino an even brighter future and the State of California a successful, evidence-based program addressing the needs of those most at-risk.
