CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
San Benito County's state allotment for FY2018-19 of the Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG) is $117,000. These grant funds provide local alternatives to state commitment. The Juvenile Justice Development Plan consists of providing an array of reentry and aftercare services for our youth that have been temporarily removed or at-risk of removal from their homes.
The Probation Department is requesting authorization to enter into an agreement with Youth Allliance to provide ongoing weekly support groups using the evidenced-based model Seven Challenges. Youth Alliance will provide guided support to address individual plan goals such as drug problems, co-occurring life skill deficits, and situational and psychological problems for at-risk youth and their families referred by the Probation Department.
YOBG funds for this fiscal year, as well as, YOBG carry-over funds from prior year allocations will be used to offset the contract costs so there will be no cost to the County.
BUDGETED:
Yes
