PENMAN, 26 City Atihrney 27 By: ,/ -� 28 2013-301 EXHIBIT A SB Cal GRIP 2014 SECTION 1: PROJECT NEED 1.1 Need for the project, as supported with statistical information-The City of San Bernardino (SB) has been challenged by high levels of crime for decades; likewise, the juvenile population has been negatively impacted. 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 criminal and gang activity. In 2011, the City of San Bernardino was the 16th most dangerous city in the nation. 1The purpose of SB Cal GRIP 2014 is to implement a multi-jurisdictional approach of data-driven, coordinated response to crime and related family and youth issues in targeted areas in the City of San Bernardino and in adjacent affected areas surrounding the City such as unincorporated SB County pockets. The proposed target areas were chosen due to: higher level o Part 1 and Part 2 crimes, a significant gang population (including juveniles), low-socioeconomic conditions and an overall young population at high risk for gang involvement and crime. SB's crime rate, particularly those categorized as Part 1 Violent Crimes, has historically been one of the highest in California2. The violent crime index has been nearly double that of the state and County (See Table 1). Table 1:Part 1 Per Capita Crime Rates per 1,000 2010 2011 2012 Within the target areas, SB City 10 9.5 8.7 SB County 6.0 5.6 5.1 Part 1 crimes such as California State 5.1 4.9 4.5 SB City Target Areas 18.6 18 17.2 Robbery, Assault, Forcible Rape, and Murder, have been on the rise since 20113. The target areas are collectively responsible for nearly 15% of all robberies and assaults in Morgan Quinton Press, 2011 2 San Bernardino Police Department 3 San Bernardino Police Department 1 SB Cal GRIP 2014 the City. On the average, for all Part 1 crimes, the target areas are responsible for over 8% of them over the past two years (See Table 2).4 Table 2:PART I Crimes 2011-12 Target Area and Citywide 2011 2012 Target Areas 1,868 2,439 Citywide 10,322 12,532 %of Citywide 18.01% 19.46% The number of homicides in the target areas is of major concern. The areas are responsible for a noticeable percentage of the total city-wide murders each year 2011- 12. Murders by firearm comprise a major percentage of the incidents within the areas (See Table 3). 5 TABLE 3 2011 2012 SB Total 30 47 Target areas 11 15 By firearm 9 9 Gang-related 1 2 Part 2 crimes, such as Forgery, Fraud, Vandalism, and Weapons Theft are on the increase over the past three years. Likewise Part 2 crimes such as DUI Alcohol or Drugs, Drunkenness in Public, and Vagrancy show increasing numbers during the same two year period. The target area has become an increasing percentage of the overall Part 2 crimes committed within the City (See Table 4). 6 Table 4: PART 2 Crimes 2011-13 Target Area and Citywide 2011 2012 Target Area 3,582 4,201 Citywide 11,960 11,126 %of Citywide 29.95% 37.76% 4 San Bernardino Police Department 5 San Bernardino Police Department 6 San Bernardino Police Department 2 SB Cal GRIP 2014 1.2 Impact of the gang activity on the city and surrounding communities- Over the past decade, the City of San Bernardino and surrounding areas have experienced a large increase in gang-related criminal activity, memberships and associations. SB has been heavily impacted by this trend resulting in a decreased quality of life and a flight of middle class residents to neighboring cities. SB 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 San Bernardino and in surrounding communities. 1.3 Severity of the gang problem, including gang trends (e.g. number of gang members involved, gang-related crime rates and any impediments standing in the way of political issues-According to the SB City Police Department there are over 40 distinct gangs in the target areas. There are 5,950 known gang members in SB (City of SB Police). The County of SB estimates the countywide gang population to range between 11,000 to 13,000, which make SB home to nearly half of the entire County gang population. Within the target areas there are 1,394 identified gang members. Of the 944 African American gang members, 20% are juveniles. The juvenile percentage of gang members among the Hispanic gang population is also 20%. The County of SB is home to the second highest number of parolees in the State and the third highest in the U.S., with over 10,000 parolees. Approximately 2,000 parolees reside in the City plus over 420 at large parolees. Within the target areas there are 112 parolees. There are 45 DJJ parolees and 1,150 youthful probationers in the targeted areas. 1.4 Financial support needed to make changes/improvement to address gang issues- In 2012; the City of San Bernardino filed bankruptcy and is now the 3rd city in 3 SB Cal GRIP 2014 California facing a long term economic downfall which greatly contributes to the rise in thefts, burglaries, robberies, and fraud-related crimes throughout the City and particularly within the target areas. Due to the poor economy, this area of California is not projected to rebound in the immediate future. Financial support, via Cal GRIP, is vital to improving the quality of life for the people living in the targeted areas. 1.5 City's current efforts to address gang issues-Although the crime rate is still intolerably high, the City of SB has created a Crime Intervention Partnership Program (CIPP) comprised of law enforcement, non-profits, schools, SB County Probation, SB County Sheriff, and SB city officials to address gang issues in the City and in affected areas surrounding San Bernardino. One of the most successful CPIP partnerships in diverting high risk youth from gangs has been with the Urban Youth Conservation Corps. Target Population: The SB Cal GRIP 2014 primary focus for the evidence-base programming targets fifty middle school/junior high school to high school aged transitioning youth yearly living in zip code area 92411 and 92408 and twenty middle school/junior high school to high school aged transitioning youth yearly in adjacent affected communities in unincorporated SB County pockets of county land such as zip code area 92404. The combined target areas have a high percentage of individuals under the age of 18 than that of the City of SB at 35.2%, the County of SB at 29.8% and the State of California at 25.5% (U.S. Census Bureau, 2000). Risk Factors and Challenges: Figure 1 shows ' 30 SB has the highest percentage of its population 4 SB Cal GRIP 2014 below the poverty level when compared to other county seats. 00:000 Figure 2 shows the City of SB to have the 70,000 60000 • 50,000 lowest average household income 0.00Q 20.000 10,000 among those same cities. The combined i , � target areas have a higher percentage of "moo : �s�` /eee° ceb"c".0tFs' individuals living below the federal poverty , C, level than the City of SB at 27.6%, the _ _ County of SB at 14.7%, and the State of California at 13.3%. In 2000, the combined target area zip codes averaged $12,101 income per capita as compared to $12,925 for the City of SB, $16,856 for SB County and $22,711 for the State of California'. In early 2010, the SB Unified School District was listed as the district in California with the highest percentage of schools on the California Department of Education's "Bottom 5% School List" or Persistently Lowest Achieving Schools List. Each of the target areas for the SB Cal GRIP 2014 program has at least one school in the area which is listed on the California Department of Education's "Bottom 5% School List." SB has long been home to a disproportionate number of parolees. While the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has been in compliance with California Penal Code Section 3003 (a) requiring parolees to be released to the county of last legal residence, the City of SB is home to 10 percent of the County's population but houses 23 percent of the County's parolees. This disparity is greater than any California county seat of comparable size. This means the City of SB bears a U.S.Census Bureau,2000 5 SB Cal GRIP 2014 disproportionate burden on top of disproportionate burden—because of California's large number of parolees compared to other States. In addition to adult parolees, the target areas are also high in numbers of students involved in the justice system. There are approximately 45 DJJ parolees and 1,150 youthful probationers currently within the target area. SECTION II: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND DELIVERABLES (200 Points) Goal 1: Utilizing a local collaborative effort (CPIP), the SB Cal GRIP 2014 will reduce gang activity through the use of evidence-based prevention, intervention, and suppression activities. Objective 1:1 To identify, recruit and train 70 youth yearly in the evidence-based, Botvin Life Skills Training Program (LST) from the targeted areas that are at-risk for gang involvement and/or who are involved in gangs. Objective 2:1 To engage 70 youth yearly in the evidence-based, Urban Conservation Corps to retain 70 youth yearly in the evidence-based Botvin Life Skills Training Program. Objective 3:1 To increase positive social, life and vocational skills by 90% among targeted youth to prevent and/or intervene in youth gang violence. Goal 2: Utilizing the evidence-based Big Brothers/Big Sisters Mentoring Program, the SB Cal GRIP 2014 will replicate a Mentoring Program, in order to promote healthy bonding with caring adults to intervene in youth gang involvement and to reduce recidivism. Objective 1: 2 To identify 20 youth annually from the evidence-based Botvin Life Skills Training Program who are actively involved in gangs and place them in the Mentoring Program. Objective 2: 2 To identify and train 20 adults yearly to become mentors in the Mentoring Program. Objective 3: 2 To decrease recidivism among 20 gang involved youth yearly through the Mentoring Program. 6 SB Cal GRIP 2014 Goal 3: Utilizing wraparound case management with youth and their families, the SB Cal GRIP 2014 will provide services to youth and their families to promote healthier family functioning in the community. Objective 1: 3 To enroll 70 youth annually to participate in wraparound case management services for a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 12 months. Objective 2: 3 To assess, identify and engage 70 youth participants yearly to appropriate support services and activities. Specific evidence-based program(s), practices, strategies, that will be implemented with the grant funds. 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 SB Cal GRIP 2014 Program will utilize a multi-jurisdictional approach that interweaves prevention, intervention, reentry, job training, family 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 City of San Bernardino Police Department will perform the lead responsibilities for the SB Cal GRIP 2014. The SB Cal GRIP 2014 Program utilizes age-appropriate levels of Botvin Life Skills Training Programs for individuals ages middle school through 12th grade with the focus on the middle school/junior high age students. The Urban Conservation Corps (UCC), an evidence-based, best practice program, will be utilized with age-appropriate differentiation to provide prevention, intervention, reentry, job training and placement. The UCC will also provide an, evidence-based, mentoring program, developed by Big Brothers/Big Sisters (BB/BS) for gang involved high school aged youth and will also provide the OJJDP best practice, 7 SB Cal GRIP 2014 wraparound/comprehensive case management model (case management) to provide participant intervention and family support. The Center for the Study of Correctional Education at California State University San Bernardino will perform the duties of program evaluation and data collection. How the proposed project will address the needs described in Section 1. The proposed project will address the needs described in section 1 through four major program components. The first component, Botvin Life Skills Training, will teach youth general life skills to make them less vulnerable to youth gang involvement and drug use. The second component, the Urban Conservation Corps, will ensure that youth are retained in the Life Skills Training program and that they gain skills for employment, have increased support services to reduce the likelihood of committing crimes and becoming incarcerated. The third component, BB/BS offers youth the opportunity to have an adult mentor who becomes a valued resource in their life and gives them a "stake in conformity." The fourth component, wraparound/comprehensive case management services will enhance family and youth functioning.

Under the proposed program, youth will be assessed for specific risk/needs through a youth comprehensive risk assessment called the "youth packet" which is based on the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets®. Through this tool, the program can determine the level of risk the youth is experiencing. An individual's debt assessment is conducted on their basic needs, substance abuse, exposure to violence, mental health, family cohesion, mood assessments, and trauma, as well as employment skills, aptitude and interests. These two assessments will be combined to develop an individualized treatment plan. Types of services provided to participants as part of this project. Outreach/Referrals: The San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD) will provide outreach to youth in the targeted areas in the City of San Bernardino through their Gang-Related Policing Unit. The SB Sheriff Department will provide referrals through their encounters in the unincorporated areas throughout San Bernardino. Additional outreach will be through the UCC, which outreaches to youth throughout the SB County. Intake and Case Management: The SB Cal GRIP 2014 will link community-based resources via the case management model provided by the Urban Conservation Corps (UCC) to participating youth and their families. Through referrals, UCC will perform the duties of the lead case manager providing case management. UCC has been assisting families with limited resources whom are often facing multiple issues or problems. Hundreds of families benefit from the work of UCC each year. In FY 2011-12, over 300 households benefited from UCC services throughout the two-county (SB and Riverside) area. Services are based on individual/family needs and vary from prevention-based to 9 SB Cal GRIP 2014 crisis-based. In an effort to stabilize and strengthen individuals and families, UCC provides these services through a collaborative fashion with other community agencies. They have extensive experience in case management. Since 2008, UCC 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 case management is committed and persistent staff and the creation of programs that are culturally competent and strengths-based. Case management is 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 programs8. The SB Cal GRIP 2014 provides a highly structured, integrated services environment. After referrals are made, wraparound case management services will be provided through the UCC. Utilizing the foundation of Maszlow's Hierarchy of Needs, through the SB Cal GRIP 2014 Program, the UCC will first ensure the participant's primary needs are met, before moving to meet secondary and tertiary needs. Botvin Life Skills Training (LST) Program: Understanding the importance of maintaining fidelity to the selected evidence-based program, the SB Cal GRIP 2014 has chosen to fully implement the Botvin Life Skills Training (LST) Program for 70 youth annually, which include at-risk youth from middle school/junior high school to high 8 The Evidence Base and Wraparound, Eric J. Bruns, University of Maryland School of Medicine,Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry,October 2004. 10 SB Cal GRIP 2014 school aged transitioning youth. The California Healthy Kids Resource Center lists Botvin LST as an effective, evidence-based program designed to significantly reduce tobacco, alcohol, drug abuse, and youth gang violence. The LST is one of the most highly effective programs backed by over 30 federally-funded studies including six independent studies; all published in respected peer reviewed journals. An important aspect of any prevention program is not only the reduction effects that are achieved but the sustainability of those effects. LST has conducted longitudinal studies that demonstrate significant effects lasting at least six years when compared to students not receiving the program. The research behind the program also demonstrates that it is highly effective with a variety of youth (African American, Hispanic, Caucasian) as well as a variety of settings such as urban, suburban, and rural areas. The UCC already has extensive experience in administering the LST program and have LST certification from National Health Promotion Associates. Urban Conservation Corps Model: Understanding the need for positive youth interventions, the SB Cal GRIP 2014 will provide job readiness training, vocational work experience, leadership development, and educational interventions for at-risk and gang involved youth through the Urban Conservation Corps (UCC), administered under the Southern California Mountains Foundation (formerly the San Bernardino National Forest Association). The UCC is a State of California Certified Conservation Corps with full case management services and a Charter School with over 80 young people enrolled yearly from throughout San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. The UCC has a successful history of partnering with Cities to reduce youth gang violence and has successfully assisted the City of Riverside and the City of San Bernardino in two 11 SB Cal GRIP 2014 previous Cal GRIP grant funded programs to reduce risk factors associated with gang violence. The Center for the Study of Correction Education at California State University San Bernardino conducted a quasi-experimental study on 115 youth ages 15 to 18 years old living in three targeted high crime neighborhoods in the City of San Bernardino. 70% were male and 30% were female. The majority of the program youth were Latino or African American. During the Cal GRIP program, outcome data measured significant changes in attitudes in three areas: education, community and legal behavior. At the end of the program period, 42% of the youth participants increase their GPA by 1.0 or greater; 37% entered employment and 60% of program youth decrease criminal behavior and moved from strong agreement with criminal attitudes to strong agreement with pro-social ones. The outcome data and the survey results demonstrated the ability of the UCC to foster positive interventions with disadvantaged urban youth. Under the SB Cal GRIP 2014, a cohort of 35 at-risk and gang involved youth will become UCC members every six months. Within this cohort, 20 at-risk middle/junior high school aged youth will participate in service learning and leadership development while they are concurrently enrolled in LST. Youth will be involved in activities that help improve their communities such as planting trees in bare urban landscapes, recycle and litter abatement. They will also be transported to and from the job sites. This will help youth build leadership skills. Youth will receive monthly stipends for successful participation in the program. In addition, a second cohort of 15 gang involved high school aged youth will participate in vocational work experience training. Youth will be trained to perform vocational services in land management, wildland fire service, landscaping, recycling industry, and community revitalization while 12 SB Cal GRIP 2014 they are concurrently enrolled in the LST Program. Youth will receive monthly stipends for successful participation in the program. In addition, older gang involved youth demonstrating academic failure will be enrolled in the UCC Charter School which is called the John Muir Charter School (JMCS). The JMCS works closely with the UCC to provide youth with an excellent educational program to assist young people in obtaining a high school diploma while working and/or involved in vocational training. The JMCS is a California statewide charter school accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). It is important to note, the conservation corps models are an important part of the nation's strategy for job training for at-risk youth. 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. Big Brothers/Big Sisters (BB/BS) Mentoring Program: Understanding the importance of maintaining fidelity to the selected evidence-based program, the SB Cal GRIP 2014 Program has chosen to implement the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program for older high school aged gang involved youth. The Big Brothers/Big Sisters is recognized as an extremely effective prevention program. According to the Office of Justice Programs' Research Report, by the University of Maryland, Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice, the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Mentoring Program reduces youth use of tobacco, alcohol and other drug related problems such as youth violence by 45% compare to youth without mentors. At the core of the Mentoring Program is a focus on the underlying causes of youth gang involvement and substance use among adolescents. This program reaches out to youth who are in need of socialization, firm 13 SB Cal GRIP 2014 guidance, and connection with positive adult role models. One of the main reasons the SB Cal GRIP 2014 selected this program was because it has been tested with broad range of youth. Evaluation studies show that it works for white, Black and Hispanic youth regardless of gender. The Mentoring Program will recruit 15 gang involved youth from the LST Program. Mentors will be recruited from a variety of sources such as universities, colleges, the forest service, parks service, churches and other fraternal groups. Mentors will be interviewed and finger printed to ensure a criminal background clearance. Mentors will receive eight hours of training that includes communication and limit-setting skills, tips on relationship building, and recommendations on the best way to interact with a young person. Mentors will be expected to meet with their mentee at least eight hours per month. Once matched, the mentor/mentee relationship is ongoing and may last for one year or longer. Project scope, including the number of personnel involved and participants affected and/or served. The SB Cal GRIP 2014 will have approximately five individuals involved in the project which includes a project coordinator, a wraparound case manager/program coordinator, a program assistant, youth supervisor and a program evaluator. A total of 140 youth will be served throughout the project period. SECTION III: PROJECT EVALUATION AND OUTCOMES (200 POINTS) The Center for the Study of Correctional Education at California State University San Bernardino will administer all aspects of the project evaluation. The evaluation includes: Youth Participation Survey: At the initial intake, youth will complete a youth survey to determine if they meet the criteria for program participation which will include gender, age, gang affiliation, home address and/or other variables that are associated with gang 14 SB Cal GRIP 2014 involvement such as tattoos, etc. Pre-Post Test Surveys: During the first year, there will be a pre-post-test survey that will be administered to participants involve in all program components: Life Skills Training Program, Wraparound/Case management, Mentoring and Vocational Work Experience/Leadership Development/Service Learning/Educational Interventions. The pre-post test instruments will be developed by Dr. Thom Gehring, the Evaluation Specialist. In addition, a youth and parent evaluation committee will be organized to assist in the development of the instruments to ensure its reliability and effectiveness as it pertains to cultural appropriateness, correct phraseology and length. All instruments will be pre-tested by a sample group of youth and parents from the targeted community. Process Evaluation: Dr. Gehring will be responsible for collecting all key process information using standardized forms that will be developed at the initiation of the program year. The information will be compiled into monthly reports that will be reviewed by staff and CPIP collaborative members on an ongoing basis to improve program implementation and the extent that the program is achieving the goals and objectives. Two types of information will be collected. Activity tracking forms: At the beginning of the year, Dr. Gehring will develop forms to document a description of the activities being offered in each program area, the number and demographics of youth and parents participating in each activity, and the consistency of each youth/adult in program involvement, tracking of number of participants entered or left project, successful completions, services provided, and achievement benchmarks and milestones during project grant period and the number of staff involved. In addition, Dr. Gehring will also develop forms that will track increase/decrease in crime rates, recidivism and the number of participants who have 15 SB Cal GRIP 2014 demonstrated decreased self-identification with gang involvement. In order to keep track of community participation, the process data will be entered into an Excel database charting the involvement of each participant. Curriculum evaluation: Following several of the training activities such as the LST, BB/BS programs, and vocational training sessions, program participants will be asked to fill out an accompanying evaluation form that will rate the content and utility of the training. Staff will compile the information and integrate the feedback into next round of trainings. Outcome Measures: Dr. Gehring will conduct outcome evaluation in two program areas: The impact on the family and change in youth attitudes and behaviors. Family norms: During the final quarter of year 1, the evaluation specialist will conduct surveys with the youth participant's family members. The survey instrument will include an assessment of the respondents' involvement in the SB Cal GRIP 2014, perceptions of the impact of the program on the youth and home environment, the perception of the effects of the project on youth gang involvement. Youth attitudes and behaviors: The Urban Conservation Corps has conducted preliminary analysis on the data collected through a 2012 youth survey. During year 1, survey results will be used to establish a baseline of youth attitudes and behaviors and the data generated will be disseminated through program activities. Specific data will include prevalence of youth gang activity, youth gang knowledge, attachment to school, parent child communication and delinquent behaviors and attitudes. This survey will be conducted every six months to chart the progress of the project. 16 SB Cal GRIP 2014 SECTION IV: PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND READINESS TO PROCEED The City of San Bernardino Police Department's Crime Intervention Partnership Program (CIPP) comprised of law enforcement, non-profits, schools, SB County Probation, SB County Sheriff and SB city officials meets on a regular basis to address gang issues in the City and in affected areas surrounding San Bernardino. Through a collaborative planning process, the SB Cal GRIP 2014 was developed and is ready to proceed. Under the SB Cal GRIP 2014, the San Bernardino Police Department will be the lead agency. The City of SB Finance Department will oversee the fiscal management. The Urban Conservation Corps -- Southern California Mountains Foundation (formerly the San Bernardino National Forest Association) will provide wraparound case management, LST facilitation, coordination of the BB/BS mentoring program, job training and leadership development and collect appropriate data. The Urban Conservation Corps has over five years of experience assisting cities in carrying out Cal GRIP programming. The Center for the Study of Correctional Education (CSCE) at California State University San Bernardino will administer all aspects of data management, reporting and evaluation. CSCE has the expertise and experience in Cal GRIP program evaluation. SECTION V: CAPABILITY AND QUALIFICATIONS TO PROVIDE SERVICES City of San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD)- Carrie Rios Ms. Rios will be the Project Coordinator and will be responsible for coordinating the SB Cal GRIP 2014.

SECTION VIII: SUSTAINABILITY The SB Cal GRIP 2014 has a sustainability plan already in operation.
