Provide community -based delinquency and substance abuse prevention strategies and programs. Provide non - institutional dispositional alternatives that will protect the community and the juveniles. At least 70% of youth will successfully complete the court ordered program. At least 70% of youth will have no new court complaints while participating in programs. Budget Highlights Revenue and Personnel Change: Changes in state administration of the adult programs, as well as changes in the relationship with Chatham County, have reduced administrative funds available to support the grant. In FY 2012 -13, after the department located another funding source to replace lost funds, the CJPP Coordinator position moved from grant fund into the General Fund. The new funding source fund will reimburse Economic Services' activities and permit the Coordinator to administer the juvenile portion of the JCPC program. This change incurs no additional County cost. Grant Project Fund: Orange Community Response Program (Multi -Year Project) Address a gap in the continuum of child maltreatment services by reaching out to families with children birth to five years who have been reported to and investigated or received a family assessment by Orange County Child Protective Services, but whose cases have been closed with findings of 1) no services needed, 2) services recommended, or 3) unsubstantiated. • Engages families in increasing protective factors, leading to enhanced family functioning and better developmental outcome for the children. Provides family- centered services, with active implementation of the Principles of Family Support. Assessment of child and family needs will be informed by the five factors in the Protective Factor Framework. Collaborate with a range of local community services that encompass all five protective factors. The Orange County Department of Social Services currently has an unfunded, time - limited position that will serve as the Community Response Worker through June 30, 2015. The program will provide services to 60 children and 40 caregivers, in the first year. iU00
