Background:
On August 8, 2013, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) released a Request
for Proposal for the California Gang Reduction, Intervention and Prevention (Ca1GRIP) Program
Fiscal Year 2013/2014. Cities may apply for up to $500,000 in grant funds over a period of two
years to be utilized for gang prevention, intervention and suppression activities. Successful
applicants will be required to distribute at least 20 percent of the grant funds to one or more
community-based organizations.
The City of San Bernardino, under the Crime Intervention Partnership Program initiative, has
been successful in securing four other Cal-GRIP grants totaling almost $1.7 million. Successful

applicants in the past have included partnerships with the Urban Conservation Corps, San
Bernardino County Probation, Catholic Charities, Young Visionaries, and California State
University San Bernardino.
This grant proposes that the City of San Bernardino Police Department, if funded, contract with
Urban Conservation Corps (UCC) for evidence-based gang intervention services. The County of
San Bernardino Probation Department Probation Officers will collaborate to provide suppression
support to the SBPD Gang Unit. Also, California State University San Bernardino, School of
Correctional Education, will provide the mandated program evaluation component. Gang
intervention services will be provided to 140 Probation and at-risk youth. Target areas for grant
activities were selected based on violent crime data related to gangs, which will consist of H
Street east to Waterman Avenue and 5th Street north to Highland Avenue (subject to change).
The Urban Conservation Corps is a division of the Southern California Mountains Foundation
(which was formerly the San Bernardino National Forest Association), a 501 (c) 3 located in the
City of San Bernardino. The mission of the Urban Conservation Corps is to provide
opportunities for at-risk youth and young adults to work and service in communities and in
public lands to gain valuable workforce skills and to become more productive and successful in
life. This is achieved through a structured workforce training program, life skills development,
case management services, and a charter school that leads to a high school diploma. Since its
inception in 2005, the Urban Conservation Corps has impacted thousands of young people who
predominately live in the City of San Bernardino. The Urban Conservation Corps have been
highly successful in their intervention efforts with gang affiliated youth, and youth at risk of
joining gangs. The UCC will be utilizing the Botvins Life Skills curriculum for youth in the
program.

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 N
a_
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 m
Cn
most dangerous city in the nation. 'The purpose of SB Cal GRIP 2014 is to implement a o
ti
N
multi-jurisdictional approach of data-driven, coordinated response to crime and related N
c
2
family and youth issues in targeted areas in the City of San Bernardino and in adjacent N
a�
affected areas surrounding the City such as unincorporated SB County pockets. The W
a
proposed target areas were chosen due to: higher level of Part 1 and Part 2 crimes, a
X
w
significant gang population (including juveniles), low-socioeconomic conditions and an
N
O
overall young population at high risk for gang involvement and crime. SB's crime rate, 0
a.
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 o
N
a
and County (See Table 1).

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 N
a
gang activity and gang-related crimes arising from traditional home-grown gangs, as
U
well as gangs that migrated from Los Angeles and other larger metropolitan areas. N
Gang activity occurs throughout San Bernardino and in surrounding communities. ti
N
1.3 Severity of the gang problem, including gang trends (e.g. number of gang N
c
0
members involved, gang-related crime rates and any impediments standing in the N
a�
way of political issues-According to the SB City Police Department there are over 40 a
w
distinct gangs in the target areas. There are 5,950 known gang members in SB (City of X
w
SB Police). The County of SB estimates the countywide gang population to range
y
O
between 11,000 to 13,000, which make SB home to nearly half of the entire County 0-
a
gang population. Within the target areas there are 1,394 identified gang members. Of L
c�
the 944 African American gang members, 20% are juveniles. The juvenile percentage of o
N
a
gang members among the Hispanic gang population is also 20%. The County of SB is fe
home to the second highest number of parolees in the State and the third highest in the
m
co
U.S., with over 10,000 parolees. Approximately 2,000 parolees reside in the City plus
E
over 420 at large parolees. Within the target areas there are 112 parolees. There are 45
a
r
DJJ parolees and 1,150 youthful probationers in the targeted areas. a
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
Packet Pg.431
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. N
a
1.5 City's current efforts to address gang issues-Although the crime rate is still
M
intolerably high, the City of SB has created a Crime Intervention Partnership C!?
M
O
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 a
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 a
w
Conservation Corps. w

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 7. In early
2010, the SB Unified School District was listed as the district in California with the

o.
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."
N
SB has long been home to a disproportionate number of parolees. While the California
"75
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has been in compliance with 0 M
Cn
California Penal Code Section 3003 (a) requiring parolees to be released to the county
E
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

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. N

SECTION II: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND DELIVERABLES (200 Points)
U
Goal 1: Utilizing a local collaborative effort (CPIP), the SB Cal GRIP 2014 will reduce co
gang activity through the use of evidence-based prevention, intervention, and h
N
suppression activities. Objective 1:1 To identify, recruit and train 70 youth yearly in the N
c
0
evidence-based, Botvin Life Skills Training Program (LST) from the targeted areas that y
a�
are at-risk for gang involvement and/or who are involved in gangs. Objective 2:1 To a
engage 70 youth yearly in the evidence-based, Urban Conservation Corps to retain 70 X
w
youth yearly in the evidence-based Botvin Life Skills Training Program. Objective 3:1
0
To increase positive social, life and vocational skills by 90% among targeted youth to 0-
a
prevent and/or intervene in youth gang violence.
Goal 2: Utilizing the evidence-based Big Brothers/Big Sisters Mentoring Program, the o
N
a
SB Cal GRIP 2014 will replicate a Mentoring Program, in order to promote healthy ix
bonding with caring adults to intervene in youth gang involvement and to reduce
m
m
recidivism. Objective 1: 2 To identify 20 youth annually from the evidence-based Botvin
d
E
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 a
mentors in the Mentoring Program. Objective 3: 2 To decrease recidivism among 20
gang involved youth yearly through the Mentoring Program,

Packet Pg.434
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 N
a
participants yearly to appropriate support services and activities.

O
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, o
.N
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 a
r
that interweaves prevention, intervention, reentry, job training, family services and X w
enforcement through evidence-based, best practice programs. Understanding that o
CL
0
different age groups of youth have differing needs, and thus require unique a
r
c
programmatic solutions, the City of San Bernardino Police Department will perform the
�r
lead responsibilities for the SB Cal GRIP 2014. The SB Cal GRIP 2014 Program N
a
X
utilizes age-appropriate levels of Botvin Life Skills Training Programs for individuals
�a
U
ages middle school through 121" 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, w
a
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,

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 N
a
proposed project will address the needs described in section 1 through four major 0
M
U
program components. The first component, Botvin Life Skills Training, will teach youth N
general life skills to make them less vulnerable to youth gang involvement and drug use. o
N
The second component, the Urban Conservation Corps, will ensure that youth are N
c
O
retained in the Life Skills Training program and that they gain skills for employment,
d
have increased support services to reduce the likelihood of committing crimes and a
becoming incarcerated. The third component, BB/BS offers youth the opportunity to x
w
have an adult mentor who becomes a valued resource in their life and gives them a
N
O
"stake in conformity." The fourth component, wraparound/comprehensive case c
a
management services will enhance family and youth functioning. i

Specific risk/needs tools to be used to assess participants in this project.
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 o
N
determine the level of risk the youth is experiencing. An individual's debt assessment is 0.

Types of services provided to participants as part of this project.
a
Outreach/Referrals: The San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD) will provide
x
outreach to youth in the targeted areas in the City of San Bernardino through their w
U)
Gang-Related Policing Unit. The SB Sheriff Department will provide referrals through 0.

L
their encounters in the unincorporated areas throughout San Bernardino. Additional
L
outreach will be through the UCC, which outreaches to youth throughout the SB County.
0
Intake and Case Management: The SB Cal GRIP 2014 will link community-based a
c�
resources via the case management model provided by the Urban Conservation Corps
m
(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 E
families with limited resources whom are often facing multiple issues or problems. a
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
Packet Pg.437
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 N
a
release. Staff works directly with inmates from the California Rehabilitation Correctional
U
(CRC) Facility, Glen Helen County Jail, and West Valley Detention Center. Important to M
co
case management is committed and persistent staff and the creation of programs that Q
N
are culturally competent and strengths-based. Case management is complex N
o
intervention strategy designed to keep delinquent youth in their homes and out of
institutions. Participants are "wrapped" by a comprehensive assortment of a
w
individualized services and support networks rather than requiring the participants to
w
become involved in them to enroll in inflexible, standardized treatment programs 8. The
0
SB Cal GRIP 2014 provides a highly structured, integrated services environment. After 0-
referrals are made, wraparound case management services will be provided through the L
c�
UCC. Utilizing the foundation of Maszlow's Hierarchy of Needs, through the SB Cal o
N
a
GRIP 2014 Program, the UCC will first ensure the participant's primary needs are met, W
before moving to meet secondary and tertiary needs.

highly effective programs backed by over 30 federally-funded studies including six
independent studies; all published in respected peer reviewed journals. An important N

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 N
a
were Latino or African American. During the Cal GRIP program, outcome data

measured significant changes in attitudes in three areas: education, community and m
legal behavior. At the end of the program period, 42% of the youth participants increase o
v
their GPA by 1.0 or greater; 37% entered employment and 60% of program youth N

decrease criminal behavior and moved from strong agreement with criminal attitudes to N

W
strong agreement with pro-social ones. The outcome data and the survey results a
demonstrated the ability of the UCC to foster positive interventions with disadvantaged

youth will become UCC members every six months. Within this cohort, 20 at-risk 0

activities that help improve their communities such as planting trees in bare urban X
landscapes, recycle and litter abatement. They will also be transported to and from the
m
m
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
E
w
gang involved high school aged youth will participate in vocational work experience a
training. Youth will be trained to perform vocational services in land management,
wildland fire service, landscaping, recycling industry, and community revitalization while

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 N
a
a high school diploma while working and/or involved in vocational training. The JMCS is
U
a California statewide charter school accredited by the Western Association of Schools N
and Colleges (WASC). It is important to note, the conservation corps models are an o
N
important part of the nation's strategy for job training for at-risk youth. According to a N

Big Brothers/Big Sisters (BB/BS) Mentoring Program: Understanding the
0
importance of maintaining fidelity to the selected evidence-based program, the SB Cal o
CL
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 o
N
a
as an extremely effective prevention program. According to the Office of Justice
Programs' Research Report, by the University of Maryland, Department of Criminology L)
m
and Criminal Justice, the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Mentoring Program reduces youth
E
use of tobacco, alcohol and other drug related problems such as youth violence by 45%
0
compare to youth without mentors. At the core of the Mentoring Program is a focus on a
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

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 N
a
universities, colleges, the forest service, parks service, churches and other fraternal
U
groups. Mentors will be interviewed and finger printed to ensure a criminal background N
clearance. Mentors will receive eight hours of training that includes communication and ti
N
limit-setting skills, tips on relationship building, and recommendations on the best way to N
c
interact with a young person. Mentors will be expected to meet with their mentee at N
a�
least eight hours per month. Once matched, the mentor/mentee relationship is ongoing a
and may last for one year or longer. X

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
a
Learning/Educational Interventions. The pre-post test instruments will be developed by N
a
Dr. Thom Gehring, the Evaluation Specialist. In addition, a youth and parent evaluation
U
committee will be organized to assist in the development of the instruments to ensure its m
CO
reliability and effectiveness as it pertains to cultural appropriateness, correct
N
phraseology and length. All instruments will be pre-tested by a sample group of youth N
0
and parents from the targeted community. Process Evaluation: Dr. Gehring will be N
a�
responsible for collecting all key process information using standardized forms that will a
be developed at the initiation of the program year. The information will be compiled into
w
monthly reports that will be reviewed by staff and CPIP collaborative members on an
M
0
ongoing basis to improve program implementation and the extent that the program is c
n.
achieving the goals and objectives. Two types of information will be collected. L
c�
Activity tracking forms: At the beginning of the year, Dr. Gehring will develop forms to 0
N
a
document a description of the activities being offered in each program area, the number W
and demographics of youth and parents participating in each activity, and the U
M
Cn
consistency of each youth/adult in program involvement, tracking of number of
d
E
participants entered or left project, successful completions, services provided, and
achievement benchmarks and milestones during project grant period and the number of Q
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
Packet pg.443
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 N
a
accompanying evaluation form that will rate the content and utility of the training. Staff
U
will compile the information and integrate the feedback into next round of trainings. N
Outcome Measures: Dr. Gehring will conduct outcome evaluation in two program ti
N
areas: The impact on the family and change in youth attitudes and behaviors. Family N
c
0
norms: During the final quarter of year 1, the evaluation specialist will conduct surveys y
a�
with the youth participant's family members. The survey instrument will include an a
assessment of the respondents' involvement in the SB Cal GRIP 2014, perceptions of X
w
the impact of the program on the youth and home environment, the perception of the
0
effects of the project on youth gang involvement. Youth attitudes and behaviors: The 0-
a
Urban Conservation Corps has conducted preliminary analysis on the data collected
CD
through a 2012 youth survey. During year 1, survey results will be used to establish a o
N
a
baseline of youth attitudes and behaviors and the data generated will be disseminated W
through program activities. Specific data will include prevalence of youth gang activity, L)
m
youth gang knowledge, attachment to school, parent child communication and
d
E
delinquent behaviors and attitudes. This survey will be conducted every six months to

Cost Effectiveness: The SB Cal GRIP 2014 Program is a costs-effective program with o
a
half the costs of the program funded through diverse funding sources of in-kind. Also, o
c�
taking into account the impact youth gang violence has on the community the project o
N
a
makes good economic sense. The SB Cal GRIP 2014 Program is a costs savings it

The SB Cal GRIP 2014 has a sustainability plan already in operation. The major L
c�
strategy for sustainability is to tap into multiple and diverse funding sources such as o
N
a
government grants and contracts, corporation and foundation funding and fundraising
events. There are also plans underway to further integrate the Cal GRIP 2014 into the
m
overall SB City to ensure its sustainability and to meet the match requirements. One of
d
E
the most successful sustainability plans is support the Urban Conservation Corps

Dear Sir/Madam:
0
I am writing to lend my most enthusiastic support for the Cal Grip effort. a
The City of San Bernardino is a City with great need. We are facing major
challenges in the City and County, including poverty, high crime, low graduation
rates, and limited business opportunity.
m
co
San Bernardino ranks second in the country in levels of poverty, following o
Newark, New Jersey. Our per capita level of people returning from incarceration N
is just behind Compton CA. Since the bankruptcy in the City external business
opportunities have been reduced, particularly on the heels of the general Q
recession in California. We have good minds working on our problems, but need CL
support from external sources to help us move in the right direction. -
L
The Cal Grip project allows for significant help in addressing some of r
these issues. We are working hard to improve our area, and meet the needs of
our citizens. We believe that we can develop programs that provide some �-

On behalf of the City of San Bernardino, 1, Patrick J. Morris, support the San Bernardino Police N
Department's 2013 California Gang Reduction, Intervention and Prevention Grant application. M
The City of San Bernardino has 40 identified gang cells and 4,000 identified gang members N
within its City limits. The crime rate from September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2013 is alarming.
During this time period there has been an overwhelming 2,501 "Part I crimes" and 3,460 "Part II a
crimes." it is my desire that these numbers decrease, significantly, by this time next year when in
the new report is released. o
My office has and will continue to collaborate with the San Bernardino Police Department and w
the Urban Conservation Corps, in an effort to identify youth that are at high risk of gang
involvement. In addition,my
office will offer assistance in research based intervention strategies, 2-
to ensure that youth are offered alternatives and to prevent gang related violence. Co
U
By partnering together, the Cal-GRIP grant will be a success and make a great impact on youth
that are at risk and make the City of San Bernardino a safer place for its residents. E

Dear Ms. Rios:
On behalf of the Urban Conservation Corps of the Southern
California Mountains Foundation(formerly known as the San
Bernardino National Forest Association), we are delighted to
participate in another successful Cal GRIP program in San
Bernardino. For over four years, the Urban Conservation Corps has been helping cities carry out their Cal c
GRIP program activities for at risk and gang involved youth. We are very proud of our successes in our N
conservation corps and how we have been able to move young people from gang involvement to productive
work and healthier living.
�a
U
Many of our young people who come to the UCC have very little life and social skills and are vulnerable to N
gangs and crime. Through our programs and support services for youth and their families, we have been able to ;
turn families and youth around.
ti
N
Y If funded, we are very committed to providing evidence based services o
including wraparound case management, a much needed mentoring 3
program, especially for our young boys, and life skills. Also, we are Cn
committed to providing job training in various conservation related fields
and will engage our partners in land management to assist in this program.`,
As you may know, last year the UCC became the 14th Certified
Conservation Corps in the State of California, certified by the California c.
I Conservation Corps, which means we met all standards of workforce t`s
practices in conservation services and skills. We also have a state v
certified Charter School, the John Muir Charter School that works closely
with young people who could not have made it in mainstream academia. Last year, we graduated 18 young
people who were heavily involved in gang members but who moved onto to a more successful life.
Again, we look forward in our continued partnership and are hopeful that the Board of State and Community a
Corrections funds the City of San Bernardino's Police Department's Cal GRIP 2014 program.
Sincerely,
Sandy Bonilla, Director
