21 <br /> Consultant Update <br /> Final Accounting is being reviewed now and any notices of refunds will be sent out shortly. <br /> Based upon the results of the Final Accounting there may be discretionary funds. <br /> There will not be any increase in funding levels for next fiscal year; however,there won't be any <br /> decrease either. <br /> Cindy Porterfield has recently been requested to write a report to the Legislature on age change. <br /> Another report recently stated that there wouldn't any cost to increase the age; however, after <br /> further review and calculation it was determined that the increase in age would cost $10 million. <br /> This is why it is important that 18 and 19 year olds are not entered into client tracking. Programs <br /> can still serve them if they have other funding sources, but do not record their data because it <br /> shows the Legislature that programs don't need additional funds to serve this population. <br /> Denise has received the Risk and Needs data for each county and is currently working on putting <br /> all the data into charts for the committee meeting in January. <br /> There will be a State sponsored SPEP training rolling out to program providers. It will discuss <br /> scoring, assigning scoring, and discuss how the programs can improve their score, SPEP is not a <br /> tool to defund or eliminate programs; rather, it is a tool used to help solely improve program <br /> design. Information on the training will be forthcoming. This training may be for both program <br /> providers and JCPC members. <br /> ➢ Next JCPC Meeting: Friday,December 4, 2015; Location: Southern Human Services <br /> Center, 2501 Homestead Rd, Chapel Hill NC <br />
