EXHIBIT A
June 2008 - DCCCF Recommendations for JCP/Leve17 Funding
The Deschutes County Commission on Children & Families RFP ad hoc committee met on May 1,
2008 and reviewed 4 of the 7 applications with the guiding principles and strategy recommendations
set forth by the Youth Investment Work Group (YIWG). Three of the seven applications were
disqualified due to not meeting minimum requirement standards written into the RFP application.
Through the RFP review process the selection committee determined that each program they voted
to fund met the needs of the CCF strategic plan in the area of juvenile Crime Prevention and made
the following funding recommendations to the CCF Board (approved by CCF board May 15`h):
Guiding Principles for funding:
• Balanced and restorative justice
• Prevention whenever possible
• Evidence-based and cost-effective service
• Utilize community direction/input (community survey)
• Invest in strategies that are currently in implementation phase vs. new initiatives
• Age group investment: 0-17 years
• 100% of funds and resources will be invested in evidence-based practices through support of SB267
• Fund strategies for up to 3 years to get on track with and follow the biennial cycle
• Community survey priorities: Family management & intervention, anti-social peers and/or behaviors
5 Evidence-Based Strategies (prioritized by YIWG to address identified needs
• Structured, gender-specific support groups; (girls 9-17)
• Structured family-based thera intervention; (ages 11-17)
• Nurse home visitations with high risk families; (parole /probation clients with newborns)
• Parent, child curriculum intervention- Family skills management; (ages 0-17)
• Parent, child, teacher intervention- Primarv students w/ behavior problems (ages 5-71
Name of Program/Strategy Amount (funding source)
1. Girls on the Run (Structured, gender-specific support group) $ 20,000 QCP)
2. Girls Circle (Structured, gender-specific support group) $ 40,000 (Level 7)
3. Family Resource Center (Parent, child curriculum intervention $ 50,000 QCP)
and/or Family Skills management curriculum)
4. Functional Family Therapy (Structured family-based therapy Interv) $40,000.00 (Level 7)
Total allocations $150,000
Remaining Funds:
Because the remaining three applications were disqualified, there was a balance of $78,740 that was
not allocated. Of the remaining funds, $25,409 must be used for programs and activities meeting
Level 7 criteria and $53,331 must be used for programs and activities meeting JCP criteria. The CCF
board voted on May 15`h to re-release the RFP, allowing the three programs that did not meet
minimum qualifications to make the necessary corrections and to re-submit their applications. This
will also open up the possibility for additional applications to be received.
Impact on Alternatives to Incarceration Funded Programs:
Two of the programs not meeting minimum requirement standards for the RFP were programs
historically funded as part of the Alternatives to Incarceration strategy for the County. Unfortunately,
the remaining $53,331 will not cover both Ready-Set-Go Parole & Probation ($79,919) and First Step to
Success ($64,000), nor is it enough to cover either at the level of funding they have received in the past.
