Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
None directly related to this item. In 2003, the Board approved the most recent revision to County Policy 25, “Grant Applications and Contracts”.
Summary of Request:
On September 30, 2020, Governor Newsom signed Senate Bill 823 (Chapter 337, Statutes of 2020), which began the closure of the state’s Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) realigning those state functions to county governments. Under SB 823 DJJ intake will close for most youth on July 1, 2021, and counties then become fully responsible for housing, programming, and treatment of youth at higher offense and needs levels who can no longer be committed to DJJ.
As part of SB 823, $9.6 million was set aside for the Board of State and Community Corrections to “award one-time grants, to counties for the purpose of providing resources for infrastructure-related needs and improvements to assist counties in the development of a local continuum of care.” (Welf. & Inst. Code, §2250, subd. (a).).
Of the $9.12 million available (after BSCC administrative cost), funding is available for two project types:
• Regional Hubs (Part A): $5 million
• All County Distribution - All Counties (Part B): $4.12 million
Mendocino County Probation is applying for Part B. The $4.12 million is allocated pro rata (by formula) to all counties based on county juvenile population (age 12-17) to support infrastructure and improvements for local programs and facilities for their in-county population of realigned youth. These Part B funds must be spent on infrastructure or improvements to programs, services, or facilities serving youth who are realigned to counties as a result of the closure of the Division of Juvenile Justice. Funding amount per county applicant, for small counties, is established at $47,086. Should one or more counties not apply for the Part B funds, the individual county share that is not applied for will be distributed per the pro rata formula established by the grant.
The Grant allows for a Part B Deferred Spending Approval Process. Counties that have not yet finalized how these funds will be spent may apply based on available information, describing the infrastructure and improvements for the realignment population that are contemplated including a timeline for submitting a modified application with more complete information no later than six months from the award date. Mendocino County Probation will be submitting a place holder budget requesting the full amount available of $47,086.
The RFA for this grant was released on April 9, 2021 with an RFA deadline on May 12, 2021. After review of the grant opportunity with the Executive Office, and due to the time sensitivity of the grant deadline, approval to proceed was granted consistent with Policy 25. At the time of submittal of the agenda item, the proposal was not yet complete and could not be attached.
