CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the Chief of Police to file a Going Home -
Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative grant application with the U.S. Departments of
Justice, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Housing and Urban Development.
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Justice, in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Labor, Health and
Human Services, Education, and Housing and Urban Development have released a joint solicitation
for the Going Heme - Serious and Violent 0jJeruler Remtry lnitiatir2 Grant Prugram. The goal of the
program is to fund at least one program in each state with each site receiving approximately
$500,000 - $2,000,000 depending on the following:
. Number of offenders to be served by the program.
. Number of target populations the program will include (i.e., juvenile and adult).
. How many communities will be partnering with a state department of corrections or juvenile
department of corrections.
This will be a three-year program with any supplemental funding depending on grantee
performance, availability of funds, and other criteria established at the time of the initial award.
There is no requirement to maintain the program or retain grant personnel after grant funding is
exhausted.
The Going Heme Prugram provides funding to design, implement, and evaluate reentty programs for
offenders ages 14 to 35 that combine criminal justice supervision with job training, mental health
care, and substance abuse services. The goal of the program is to protect public safety by
successfully reintegrating young offenders into the community. By combining supervision and
services, the Going Heme Prrrgram will help offenders achieve the following:
. Become productive, responsible, and law-abiding citizens.
. Obtain and retain long-term employment.
. Maintain stable residences.
. Successfully address substance abuse issues and mental health needs.
In September and October 2001, the police department and California Department of Corrections
Parole and Community Services Division collaborated on the preparation of a grant application for a
Young Offender Initiative Reentry Grant program. This application was submitted, however, the
U.S. Department of Justice withdrew the solicitation as other federal agencies expressed an interest
to become involved in programs designed to successfully reintegrate young offenders back into their
communities. The Going Heme - Serious and Vw!ent 0jJeruler Reentry Initiatir2 Prugram is the product of
the additional involvement of these agencies.
. ,
The focus of the Going HOrrE! Program is to design and implement a comprehensive reentry program
consisting of treatment, counseling, job training, and the provision of basic necessities for high-risk
parolees to overcome reintegration obstacles, become self-supportive and successfully reenter
society. The grant solicitation strongly recommends using local service providers. We have
identified the following service providers in San Bernardino area that have provided letters of
support listing services they could provide and associated costs. They will be selected in accordance
with the purchasing procedures contained in the San Bernardino Municipal Code. Selected service
providers will be utilized on a rotating basis and based on availability.

Grant personnel will provide oversight for the delivery of the above listed services on a referral basis
as well as services provided for free by the State of California and County of San Bernardino. Grant
monies will be disbursed to these organizations based on performance and documentation of
services performed. Surveys of parolees and their families will be performed on a quarterly basis to
validate services provided and gauge satisfaction and overall quality. Notice will be provided to
organizations performing poorly to provide them will opportunities to improve their services.
Replacement organizations will be identified in situations where improvements are not made.
By addressing these "core" issues, recidivism (80 to 90% in San Bernardino) will be reduced and
public safety will be enhanced.
The grant targets serious offenders, all of whom are between 18 - 35 years of age and have spent a
minimum of one year in secure confmement. Many selected for the program will be repeat
offenders who have been incarcerated several times. The grant will provide services to 180 parolees
over the two-year grant period with 90 to 100 enrolled in the program at any given time. Selection
into the program will include those ex-offenders who are paroled to the San Bernardino parole
complex and reside within the City of San Bernardino. Parolees who transfer into San Bernardino
can also participate in the reentry program providing eligibility requirements are met. The police
department will secure a letter of assurance from the California Department of Corrections Parole
and Community Services Division that approval of the Going Hane Program grant application will not
be the cause of an increase in the parolee population in the City of San Bernardino.
. .
Selection will be based on the following criteria:
. Those parolees who have multiple barriers to re-integration into the community.
. Public safety needs.
. High-risk parolees.
. The parolee's desire to enter and remain in the program and his/her commitment to making
a permanent life change.
To meet the Going Hane Prugrcon goals and objectives, we will request $2,000,000 in federal funding
for the initial 36-month grant period. Grant funding will be used for:
. Additional personnel - (1) police officer (City position) and (1) parole officer (State
position).
. Training.
. Equipment, supplies, and operation costs necessary to complete grant objectives, including
office equipment, radios, and (2) vehicles. (All equipment will be retained by the city after
the end of grant)
. Consultant and contractual services, including motivation speakers, housing, food, and
counseling services.
The completed grant application is due to the U.S. Department of Justice by May 15, 2002.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be no impact on the General Fund. $2,000,000 in federal grant funds will be used to
complete the goals and objectives of the Going Hane PrrYgram
The police department will be adding one (1) police officer to its authorized Table of Organization
for the life of the grant. Absent securing additional grant funding, this position will be eliminated
via attrition on conclusion of the grant.
