26 <br /> on March 1. Only have a couple families right now but it works best with about 4, so if anyone <br /> has any referrals please send them over. The program meets once per week for 12 weeks. <br /> Wrenn House—Still have not hired a replacement for Danielle because trying to find the right <br /> person. Grant is for 10 youth and have served 6 with a total of 95 days. Currently have 1 youth <br /> right now <br /> Ligo Dojo—Targeted to serve 20 kids this year and as of the holidays had only served 5, 3 of <br /> whom were court referred. Have received 9 referrals in January from El Centro Hispano and <br /> Carolina Outreach and 6 have already started. Have received a referral from School Liaison <br /> program for a Chatham County court-involved youth and is serving that youth. Area Consultant <br /> clarified that because the program receives Orange County money, the funds can only serve <br /> Orange County youth. The program can still serve the youth, but will need to do so with non- <br /> JCPC funds and should not enter this youth in NCALLIES or include in reporting. <br /> Have been going through a 4 year financial crunch and every year grant money has been going <br /> down. Moved to Chapel Hill in order replace the loss of grant money by generating revenue <br /> paying students to where our sustainability picture looks a lot more positive, where everything is <br /> getting paid now where last year it wasn't. We will be able to continue to serve referred youth <br /> for years to come. <br /> DJJ Data—December: 5 distinct juveniles, 11 complaints, 3 approved for court, 3 put on plan or <br /> contract, 4 school related offenses, 1 juvenile in detention for 5 days, and 1 juvenile on electronic <br /> monitoring for 14 days. January: 4 distinct juveniles, 4 complaints, 2 approved for court, 1 put <br /> on a plan or contract, and 1 school related offense. When JCPC programs have been reporting it <br /> being slow, it has been slow for DJJ too. <br /> JCPC Business <br /> NCJSA Spring Conference—Conference is March 9-11 that is a really well attended conference <br /> that many board members and program have attended in the past. The board has funds to assist <br /> with paying to attend. If interested,please get up with Rebekah. <br /> Monitoring Committee Update —All the monitoring were completed and there are no problems <br /> or concerns to report. Rebekah will be emailing all the programs with a final copy of their <br /> report. <br /> Risk&Needs Committee Update—Subcommittee discussed the current programs that we fund <br /> and had some dialog about other services and resources that are needed. The identified needs <br /> have not changed. No major data trend changes. Data and other information from service <br /> providers is used to determine what the risks and needs are of the youth in our community and <br /> that is then used to set the funding priorities for the upcoming fiscal year <br /> Continuum of Services Update—This is included as part of the Annual Plan every year and <br /> hasn't been updated in a while. This is to be able to see what services are available in the county <br /> and to be able to show that JCPC funded programs are filling gaps within the community. <br /> Discussion followed about edits to be made and to email Rebekah if any additional changes are <br /> needed. <br />
