Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Whitted: <br /> On behalf of the orange County Youth Services Needs Task Force, <br /> I am writing to report on the action that the Task Force has taken <br /> j in assessing the continuing needs of troubled youth in Orange County, <br /> The Task Force has been involved for a number of months in <br /> y this county-wide assessment. We have received a wealth of information <br /> from a variety of youth-serving agencies and programs. To further <br /> this information-gathering process, the Task Force held a public <br /> hearing on February 15, 1980 to solicit input from the total <br /> community. <br /> 3 In that our target population is those youth who are, or may <br /> a become involved in the juvenile justice system, we have given <br /> emphasis to the evaluation and exploration of programs that address <br /> this area of concern. Evaluation committees were appointed to assess <br /> existing programs that are currently receiving Community Based <br /> Alternative (CBA) or Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) <br /> funding. Additionally, these programs were requested to submit <br /> a self-evaluation to the Task Force. <br /> Based on our assessment, the Task Force has established a <br /> prioritized list of juvenile justice needs for youth-at-risk in <br /> Orange County. They are as follows: <br /> 1) Residential Care. <br /> 2) Emergency Shelter Care, <br /> 4E <br /> 4 <br /> 3 <br /> ti <br /> } <br /> {G <br /> f <br /> k <br /> e <br />
