Background: On May 7,2009, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Second Chance Act Youth Offender Reentry Initiative, which allows for competitive grants to be awarded to eligible public agencies. The purpose of the Second Chance Act of2007 is to support a comprehensive approach to providing reentry services to youthful offenders. Specifically, section 101 of the Second Chance Act calls for the funding of projects aimed at reducing recidivism and promoting successful reintegration of juvenile parolees and probationers back into the community. The program will utilize the OJJDP recommended Wraparound/Intensive Case Management Model, which has been deemed by the OJJDP as a Model Program for juvenile offenders. The Mayor's Office received notice from the Governor's Office on March 26,2009, that the City of San Bernardino has been awarded $400,000 in California Gangs Reduction, Intervention, and Prevention (Cal-GRIP) funds to implement an evidence- based strategy to reduce gang and youth gun violence. The Mayor's Office believes the OJJDP grant will serve as a complementary component to the work that will be accomplished through the Cal-GRIP funds. The OJJDP will award $750,000 to public agencies who can propose a comprehensive, evidence-based plan to reduce recidivism of juveniles through a collaborative continuum of care service delivery model, such as the Wraparound/Intensive Case Management Model. The grant application was due to the OJJDP on Monday, June 15th, 2009; therefore it has been submitted. The Grants Committee recommended the proposal for approval on May 26,2009. Staff is requesting ratification of the grant application which has been submitted. Proposed Use of the OJJDP Grant Funds: In response to the OJJDP FY 09 Second Chance Act Youth Offender Reentry Initiative, the City of San Bernardino Mayor's Office, in partnership with the Superior Court of California County of San Bernardino Juvenile Court, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Department of Juvenile Justice, San Bernardino County Probation Department, San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, Center for the Study of Correctional Education at California State University San Bernardino, and Operation Phoenix nonprofit services providers, will utilize the Wraparound/Intensive Case Management Model to increase public safety and reduce the rate of recidivism for juvenile offenders returning from a juvenile residential facility. The Mayor's Office has effectively coordinated with community stakeholders including those involved in public safety, juvenile corrections, housing, health, education, substance abuse treatment, children and family services, victims' services, employment, business, and members of nonprofit organizations to increase community safety. Through a long-term relationship with the Superior Court of California County of San Bernardino Juvenile Court, participating juveniles will begin the reentry process at the time of sentencing and, if eligible, will be afforded the use of graduated sanctions for minor and technical violations of parole/probation. Agreements with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Department of Juvenile Justice and the San Bernardino County Probation Department will enable program staff to begin Wraparound/Intensive Case Management at the prerelease stage, ensuring the use of any federal or state benefits upon release as well as the continuation of appropriate treatment and services. Kent Paxton of the Mayor's Office will serve as the project director. The program will be staffed through contracts with partnering agencies. The Center for the Study of Correctional Education at California State University San Bernardino will provide an independent evaluation of program outcome measurement and effectiveness. The Mayor's Office is requesting $750,000 from the OJJDP for a project period of 36 months to provide Wraparound/Intensive Case Management for 50 juvenile probationers and 20 juvenile parolees for a period of a minimum of 24 months. Through collaboration with local agencies, services in the following areas will be provided: Education, literacy, vocation, job placement, substance abuse treatment, physical and mental health treatment, coordinated supervision, and transitional and permanent housing. Furthermore, the project will incorporate family strengthening practices, provide mentors for the youth, and encourage restitution payment to victims. Financial Impact: The OJJDP requires a 50% match ofthe total cost of the project in cash (25%) and in-kind goods or services (25%). The cash match will be provided by the funds obtained through the Cal-GRIP grant. The in-kind services will be provided by the aforementioned service providers who have agreed to partner with the Mayor's Office. There will be no cost to the City for the grant. The City will receive an indirect rate of 10% for administrative costs. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution 1 2 (j:) ((~\ PS) Yl \,'::;) 'VJ u u RESOLUTION NO.

PENMAN, Attorney June 1, 2009 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, SB SCA] ABSTRACT City of San Bernardino Proposal to the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) FY 09 Second Chance Act Youth Offender Reentry Initiative (SB SCA) ABSTRACT The City of San Bernardino, in partnership with the Superior Court of California, San Bernardino County (SCC-SBC), California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Department of Juvenile Justice, San Bernardino County Probation Department, San Bernardino City Mayor's Office, Center for the Study of Correctional Education at California State University San Bernardino, and Operation Phoenix collaborating agencies, will utilize the OJJDP Model Program, Wraparound/Intensive Case Management Model to increase public safety and reduce the rate of recidivism for parolees and probationers between the ages of 16 to 25. Through the SCC-SBC participating juveniles will begin the reentry process at the time of sentencing and, if eligible, will be afforded the use of graduated sanctions for minor and technical violations of parole/probation. Participants will receive any federal or state benefits upon release as well as the continuation of appropriate treatment and services. The Center for the Study of Correctional Education at California State University San Bernardino will provide an independent evaluation of program outcomes. The SB SCA requests $750,000 for a project period of 36 months to provide reentry services for a rolling caseload of 20 parolees and 30 probationers for a period of a minimum of 24 months. CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, S8 SCA J SMART SYSTEM: Information obtained from the OJJDP Socioeconomic Mapping and Resource Topography (SMART) system is presented as A TT A CHMENT 1. Most data were obtained utilizing other, more updated resources. I. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The City of San Bernardino has been challenged by an increasing level of gang-related crime 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). Since inception in May 2006 and under direction of the SB Mayor's Office, OP's mission has been to diminish crime and violence through SB and to create assessable, positive results for children, families, and youth through a holistic approach aimed towards prevention, intervention, and suppression initiatives. OP has provided a coordinated interagency approach in order to provide support for SB youth, including efforts in violence prevention, education, family values, and health services. 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. I I P age CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, S8 SCA ] 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. A high level of gang activity in the City of San Bernardino is identified as one as well as an unacceptable poverty level. According to census data, 94% of Operation Phoenix's census tractlblock populations live below the poverty level. Unemployment is approximately 10% higher than the statewide average. The median household income in the city is $38,084/year, compared to the county median at $49,026/year. Within the OP target areas the median income hovers around $21 ,500/year. 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 educational/academic 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 level of education can be directly correlated to the lower than average household incomes and the propensity to require government aid. 21Page CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, S8 SCA ] 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, 200 I). 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). 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 2007-2008 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 31Page CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, SB SCA ] middle school students expressed anxiety about coming to campus because of the intimidating presence of gangs in and around school. The City of San Bernardino's crime rate, particularly those categorized as Class I 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 I). TABLE 1: Per Capita Parf I Violent Crime Rates per 1,000 2005 2006 2007 San Bernardino City 13 10 11 San Bernardino County 4.9 4.9 4.8 Ontario 5.2 5.7 4.9 Calitornia state 5.1 5.2 5.2 Fontana 4.6 4.9 5.1 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. 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 4lPage CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, SB SCA J 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 ofresidents 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. 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 ofOP, the city has spent less than $1 million on the new initiative. 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 has been declining since 2000 (See Table 2). The total number of murders and gang-related murders has dropped since the inception of the initiative (See Table 3).

There are currently 45 DJJ parolees in the City of San Bernardino, and over 1,400 juvenile probationers. A recent internal study of the county's juvenile delinquency court (Gilman & Paxton, 2009) found that there is a profound lack of services for juvenile offenders; namely drug and alcohol treatment and residential mental health treatment. Furthermore, probation officers reported specific difficulties finding after-care resources such as housing, mentoring, mental health services, and independent living programs. Support from the OJJDP Second Chance Act will allow for augmentation of existing resources focused to reduce crime by providing sustained support for youthful offenders reentering the city. 1.2 Target Population: The San Bernardino Second Chance Act (SB SCA) Program targets two populations, both with unique challenges. This program will target both probationers and parolees who have recently been released from juvenile detention facilities 16-18 Year Old Parolees and Probationers: Youth under the age of 18 face particular challenges when returning to their communities, especially finishing school. With over 70% of schools reporting indicators of gang presence on their campuses, and 50% of the responding middle and high schools reporting that the gang presence increased problems on school grounds, combined with a 34.5% high school dropout rate, a large percentage of the 16-17 year old 6lPage CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16,602, S8 SCA I reentering youth are at a high risk for school failure. Collaborating with schools to create a reentry policy for post-incarcerated youth is paramount (Wood, et aI., 2008), and adjudicated youth list educational support as one the most important factors in successful reentry (Unruh, 2005). The SB SCA Program is committed to partnering with local schools to ensure educational resources are provided to every youth that is served. Another important resource identified by this population is family support and involvement (Unruh, 2005), which is a key component in our proposed program. 18-25 Year Olds, Transitional-Age Parolees and Probationers, 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, 2009). 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. The SB SCA program is committed to partnering with service providers to ensure these young adults receive the services they need to successfully transition into adulthood. 1.3 City of San Bernardino: The demographics of the City of San Bernardino are: 59% Hispanic; 23% African American; II % White; 3% other and 4% unknown, Throughout the County, 65% of residents own their homes. In the target area, only 20% of residents own their homes, 74% are renters and 6% other situations. The income for the primary target area was approximately $21,500 as compared to the county median at $49,026. 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 7lPage CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, S8 SCA ] 45. ] % 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. 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$1 0,228 is 32.7% lower than the city average, and 38.1 % lower than the state averagei. 2. IMPACT/OUTCOMES AND EV ALUTION/PERFORMANCE MEASURE DATA COLLECTION PLAN: In order to obtain a reliable evaluation of measures outlined in this proposal, California State University San Bernardino's Center for the Study of Correctional Education (Center) will evaluate and report on mandatory performance measures. The Center has worked with local government and non-profit organizations on similar projects in the past. Center personnel possess expertise and experience making them the logical, local choice for project evaluation. The mandatory performance .measures outlined in the RFP will be evaluated by collecting data from local Probation and Parole offices, as well as partnering organizations involved with service prOVISIOn. The Center has relationships with local Probation and Parole offices and will work to ensure that collaborating organizations track data necessary to meet the mandatory performance measures. All relevant data collected for this program will be organized and consolidated by the Center and made available on an ongoing basis to all relevant parties. Additionally, the Center 8lPage CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, SB SCA I will work with collaborating organizations to unsure services are provided according to evidence-based best practices.

PROJECT/ PROGRAM DESIGN 3,1 Planned Approach-Pl'ogram Overview: 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 Second Chance Act Youth Offender Reentry Initiative (SB SCA) utilizes an evidence-based, easily replicable, comprehensive city-wide plan that interweaves prevention, intervention, education, vocational training, substance abuse treatment, assistance in transitioning to stable housing, mentoring, job training, family and community services and enforcement through an evidence-based, best practice program in the City of San Bernardino. The City of San Bernardino has a disproportionate population of offenders, and is home to over 2,000 adult parolees. San Bernardino County is second the number of parolees in the State of California and third in the nation. An Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Model Program, Wraparound/Intensive Case Management, will be utilized for providing service to approximately thirty, 16 through 18 year old San Bernardino County Probationers and approximately twenty 18-25 year old California Department of Juvenile Justice Parolees per year. The SB SeA will maintain a rolling caseload of fifty. The SB SCA Program will provide service to approximately 150 over the three-year contract period. 10lPage CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OffENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA 1/16.602, S8 SCA I Through a previously established, long-term relationship with the Superior Court of California, San Bernardino County, individuals who are eligible for the SB SCA will be referred to the SB SCA Catholic Charities of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties (Catholic Charities) Program Community Liaison ("Community Liaison") for documentation completion. The Community Liaison will work with the San Bernardino County Probation Department (SBCPD) and the California Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), to assess eligible program candidates for their needs post-release. Upon completion of the needs assessment, the Community Liaison will meet with the case manager from Catholic Charities which will facilitate the provision of Wraparound/Intensive Case Management to the client, post-release. Utilizing the Operation Phoenix collaborating agencies, the case manager will develop and establish a prerelease planning process ensuring eligibility of a client for federal or state benefits upon release, as well as the development of a plan addressing the following areas before the client is released. Table 5 reflects the areas assessed as well as the potential services provided: TABLE 5: SB SeA Services Education Support Documentation ICA I.D..

Should a youth violate probation/parole, a long-term relationship with the Superior Court of California, San Bernardino County, may enable the youth to continue participating in the SC SBA as a sanction, instead of returning the youth to custody. Understanding the importance of an independent evaluation of the reentry process and the SB SCA Program effectiveness, the Center for the Study of Correctional Education at California State University San Bernardino will provide a comprehensive evaluation of the SB SCA. Collaborating Agencies/Services: The OP 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. OP specifically targeted areas within the City, which are identified as high crime and have a multitude of risk factors for families and children. 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 ofleadership, courageous reorganization of city services, a dramatic Operation Phoenix in crime, and an increase in the quality oflife for those living in the Operation Phoenix area." Table 6 reflects members of the OP Collaborative which have committed to either providing service(s) to participants, tracking and reporting data, and, if necessary, participate in monthly Partner Meetings:: Table 6: OP Collaborating Partnering Organizations l2lPage CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16,602, S8 SCA ] Vista Guidance Centers SB Countv Probation Department Mustard Seed Tutorial Center SB Countv District Attornev's Office The Inland Empire Center for Restorative SB County Department of Behavioral Justice Health Young Visionaries Youth Leadership SB County Department of Public Academv Health Priscilla's Helpina Hands Department of Children's Services Catholic Charities of SB and Riverside Counties Children's Network SBNFA Urban Youth Conservation COrPs Children's Fund Victorv Outreach of San Bernardino First 5-San Bernardino San Bernardino City Unified School Los Padrinos District San Bernardino Community College San Bernardino Countv Food Bank District First Church of the Nazarene Neiahborhood Housina Services Linking OP Collaborative agencies via the Wraparound/Case Management Model provides transitional age youth, ages 16-25, who are on probation and/or parole, with comprehensive services and intensive case management. Pre-Custody Programming: As a key partner in the SB SCA, the Superior Court of California, San Bernardino County will assess youthful offenders for eligibility and suitability for the SB SCA Program. Should an offender be deemed eligible and express interest in the Program, the referral will be forwarded to the SB SCA Catholic Charities Community Liaison. In-Custody Programming: The SB SCA Catholic Charities Community Liaison will work with DJJ and the SBCPD to assess the needs of the potential SB SCA client. Table I reflects the areas which will be assessed. Through the in-custody assessment, potential clients will receive a prerelease plan which will address the eligibility of the potential client for federal or state benefits upon release, This prerelease planning will ensure potential clients will obtain all 13IPage CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, S8 SCA] necessary referrals for reentry services, and will receive continuous and appropriate services and/or support needed for successful reentry, Post-Custody Programming: Through referrals from the Superior Court of California, San Bernardino, San Bernardino County Probation Department and the California Department of Juvenile Justice, Catholic Charities of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties (Catholic Charities) will perform the duties of the lead case manager ensuring provision of Wraparound/Intensive Case Management services. 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 and are much experienced in Wraparound/Intensive Case Management. Serving the 16-25 year old probationer/parolee population requires an organization with experience, Since 1985, Catholic Charities has provided prerelease and reentry services for parolees, probationers, and their families. These services include prerelease classes and case management services'following their release. Staff works directly with inmates from the California Rehabilitation Correctional (CRe) Facility, Glen Helen County Jail, and West Valley Detention Center. Important to Wraparound/Intensive Case Management is committed and 14lPage CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO IOJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, S8 SCA ] persistent staff and the creation of programs that are culturally competent and strengths-based!. Wraparound/Case Management is 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 SB SCA 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/Intensive 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 . Case Managers/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, 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. . 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 I The Evidence Base and Wraparound, Eric J. Bruns, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Division of Child and Adolescen!

Systematic, outcomes-based services: Require clearly defined performance measures, which are used to track the progress ofthe wraparound initiative and guide its evolution over time. After referrals from the Superior Court of California, San Bernardino County, DJJ or SBC Probation, the SB SCA Program provides Wraparound/Intensive Case Management through the lead partner-Catholic Charities. Wraparound Services will be provided by the collaborating agencies. Utilizing the foundation ofMazlow's Hierarchy ofNeeds2, through the SB SCA Program partners, Catholic Charities will first ensure the participant's primary needs are met, before moving to meet secondary and tertiary needs. Mentoring, a critical component in achieving success with this difficult population, will be provided through Project Promise-a local nonprofit providing mentor outreach, clearance, management and supervision. Victim's services will be provided through the Restorative Justice Center of the Inland Empire. Through a previous award from the California Office of Emergency Services (OES) for Employment Development for at-risk youth, the San Bernardino Employment Training Agency (SBETA), will provide the Probation/Parolee clients with comprehensive employment services, including pre- employment training, placement and retention services. Through an additional award from OES, eligible youth ages 16 or 17 will be referred to the San Bernardino National Forest Association, Urban Youth Conservation Corps for employment preparation, academic support and employment. Supplementary services will be provided through resources provided by the California Gang Reduction Intervention and Prevention Program (CaIGRIP) program. 2 A.H.

Actions such as these will allow the SB SCA collaborative to provide a level of service beyond the minimums outlined in the RFP and expand available funding for the framework of collaborating organizations. 2) To facilitate long term project success state, local, and private funding will be pursued through the City, the Operation Phoenix Foundation, and the SB SCA to ensure continuation of this much needed program. This will be done on an ongoing basis throughout the period of initial funding. 3) It is the collaborative nature of this program that allows for the variety and quality of available services; No single organization exists locally that could successfully implement a program such as this. Elected officials, non-profit organizations, law enforcement, California State University, and private citizens are all involved in this project, many of whom are already involved in collaborative efforts. Networking opportunities and the sharing of information are essential to the success of this program. Undoubtedly, each partnering organization will benefit from this collaboration throughout the period of Federal funding and emerge as stronger and more connected-better able to serve the pressing needs ofthe City of San Bernardino. Our overriding goal is to increase public safety and reduce recidivism by facilitating rehabilitation and promoting accountability with youthful offenders. While the SB SCA program focuses on youth who' are leaving our State's juvenile confinement institutions, OP works to provide similar youth alternatives to criminality, clean up neighborhoods, and reduce the overall level of crime in San Bernardino. With the continued increase in the amount and quality of services offered to our neediest citizens, the city may very well realize continued shrinking criminal activity and incarceration rates. 211 P age CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16,602, SB SCA ] Barriers to Reentry The reintegration of young offenders back into California communities is hampered on multiple fronts. While in custody, meaningful reentry planning and service provision is often obstructed by a) the primacy of supervision and enforcement over treatment and intervention, b) the lateness (30-60 days prior to release) of transition planning, and c) a lack of collaboration between institutions and service providers (Byrnes, Macallair, & Shorter, 2002, p. 14). Additionally, educational opportunities for incarcerated students often lag far behind those enjoyed by others (the withdrawal of Federal Pell grants for post-secondary education is but one example) (p. 13). The recent focus in California on the provision of reentry services is helpful but remains inadequate. The 130,000 youth who are released from California's juvenile confinement institutions each year face a myriad of challenges (CJJRP, 2007). Many youthful parolees and probationers are over 18 years of age upon release and are therefore ineligible for children's services. Even after release, barriers exist that prevent these kids from taking advantage of educational opportunities. Any youth who has a drug conviction is prohibited from receiving any type of Federal financial aid for college (Byrnes, Macallair, & Shorter, 2002, p. 13). These same youth are also denied cash assistance or food stamps, a constraint that may hit young parents especially hard. Drug convictions may also prohibit young parolees from living with their families who live in public housing-this discretion is left to local housing authorities. Youth who violate conditions of their parole may also be denied Supplemental Security Income, Federal social security support available to disabled individuals. In 2006, Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed SB 1616, a bill that would have reversed this as well as mandate Medi-Cal health care coverage for DJJ parolees (Schwartz & Child, n,d.). On a larger social issues scale, parolees of voting age are 22lPage CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, S8 SCA I denied the right to vote in public elections while they are on parole, a policy that serves to further alienate the formerly incarcerated (p. 14). These youth share some of the same barriers faced by adult parolees-a permanent mark of "felon" on their record, difficulties finding meaningful employment, a general lack of meaningful services during and after incarceration, electoral disenfranchisement, problems accessing educational opportunities, and little to no support for obtaining the essentials of modern life. As part of the California's commitment to comprehensive prison reform, a panel of national experts advising the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has released a report titled "A Roadmap for Effective Offender Programming in California. " The report, also known as the CDCR Expert Panel Report, was commissioned by the California State Legislature, and provides recommendations for improving the state's rehabilitation model, as well as strategies to significantly reduce recidivism and overcrowding. The San Bernardino County AB 900 Committee was formed in 2007 as a result of the California Assembly Bill 900 which called for a countywide plan addressing California's prison overcrowding with a goal of increasing public safety by dramatically changing California's approach to rehabilitating prisoners. Over 40 representatives from the government, social service and community-based sectors developed a countywide reentry plan. The San Bernardino reentry plan places a strong emphasis on a systems approach to offender management through the provision of a unified network of local evidence-based programs to complement those which prisoners will receive in the Secure Reentry Program Facilities (SRPF). Through the use of a comprehensive case management system developed in the SRPF to assisting the transition to the community, the AB 900 reentry plan addresses the individual service needs for those returning to San Bernardino. 23 I P age CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA 1/16.602, S8 SCA I The Understanding the impact of parolees and probationers on the City of San Bernardino, through a grant from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Mayor's Office utilize an Intergovernmental Planning Grant to perform a thorough analysis of the characteristics and demographics of the parolees in the city as well as develop a plan for their successful return. Based on the significant need of San Bernardino County, the Community Reentry Education/Employment and Services Training Project (CREST) will provide the mechanism to rehabilitate ex-offenders, improve public safety, decrease reliance on government assistance, and increase the economic vitality of the community. CREST is a collaborative effort made up of government, law enforcement, education, private, non-governmental, faith- and community-based entities similar to the encouraging work being done in San Diego and Santa Barbara. The CREST Service Center will be located in or near San Bernardino City and will provide each parolee and his/her family with a one-stop-shop for education, training, and comprehensive, wrap-around services. When running at full capacity, these services will be executed at a cost of less than half the cost of incarceration. Consistent with the CDCR Expert Panel Report, the San Bernardino County AB 900 Committee Reentry Plan, the City of San Bernardino Mayor's Ad-Hoc Committee Parolee Reentry Plan, and the CREST Program, the SB SCA utilizes extensive partnerships between correctional facilities, parole/probation officers, and community-based agencies to engage and retain probationers/parolees in an evidence-based model reentry. The SB SCA goal is to increase public safety and reduce recidivism by facilitating rehabilitation and promoting accountability with youthful offenders. Specific program objectives include reducing recidivism by 50% annually. Other measurable objectives include participation in education, employment and other pro-social behaviors. 24 I P age CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, S8 SCA] During the first three years, federal funding will be budgeted to provide for contracts with partnering service providers, administrative costs, and evaluation. After federal funding is no longer available, state and local funding will be pursued through the City, the Operation Phoenix Foundation, and the SB SCA. Administrators will also leverage existing resources, such as funding through the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health, San Bernardino County Probation Department, the California Department of Juvenile Justice, and private foundation funding. The SB SCA program will serve a rolling caseload of 50 parolees and probations who have recently been released from a juvenile detention center. Case management and pre-release planning will begin approximately one month prior to release, and be maintain throughout the reentry process, Services will continue until stabilization and successful reentry of the client has been achieved, evidenced by successful participation in education and/or employment and pro- social behaviors.

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 Bernardino's Most Dangerous ranking dropped to number 24. OP has contributed to this increase in safety. San Bernardino is proud of the development the 27 I P age CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, SB SCA I community has made. In 2006, the Morgan Quinto Press ranked the City of San Bernardino number 42-noting a significant increase in the safety of those living in the City. A recent report by city and county officials highlighted OP's success and cost effectiveness. The report found that violent crime fell 2 I percent citywide and 38 percent in the target neighborhood in the last six months of 2006 compared with the same time period in 2005. 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 spent less than $1 million solely on the new initiative. In addition, a January 2007 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. Through funding from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, needed evidence-based programs will target the 16 to 25 year old probationer/parolee population living in the City of San Bernardino. Partnering agencies have committed to providing leverages in service of over $ 1.2 million from the County of San Bernardino (OP in-kind). The OES, ($62,500 per year, totaling $187,500) program will provide the required cash-match and will be utilized for employment and supportive services. The Operation Phoenix Collaborating Agencies will provide over $200,000 in in-kind services. San Bernardino looks forward to providing the citizens of San Bernardino an even brighter future and the State of California a successful, evidence-based program addressing the needs of those most at-risk. 28 I P age CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO [OJJDP SECOND CHANCE ACT YOUTH OFFENDER REENTRY INITIATIVE, CFDA #16.602, S8 SCA] 29 I P age 1:: o 0.
