DocuSign Envelope ID:60192208-BFA3-4E38-9277-B2390FDDC97D <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION <br /> gone unmet. Community support of this offering ensures the ongoing availability and <br /> affordability of this offering. <br /> More than half of the referrals to Behavioral Insights' programs will be generated by <br /> the court system as sanctions handed down in lieu of active jail time. Availability of <br /> these services, therefore, stands to offset jail costs that often go unpaid due to the <br /> indigent status of participants. Furthermore, participation in programming that <br /> provides pro-social tools for managing stress and conflict will reduce recidivism, <br /> further reducing jail bed costs and facilitating intact family time, thereby <br /> unburdening over-strained government support systems. <br /> j) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a <br /> reduced allocation is recommended. <br /> If requested funding is not awarded, the Behavioral Insights board will meet with <br /> stakeholders to determine how best to allocate the funding available. Likely, this <br /> would result in a reduced capacity to provide the outlined services. <br /> k) Include any other pertinent information. <br /> The Strong Fathers Program was evaluated by Dr. Joan Pennell at NC State's <br /> Center for Family and Community Engagement. Findings published in a 2015 report <br /> indicated statistically significant reductions in the following child protection outcomes <br /> for families of 177 fathers who participated in the program: 1) Number of families <br /> with investigated child welfare reports, 2) Median level of highest family risk <br /> assessed during investigations, 3) Number of families with child protection findings <br /> (substantiations, services needed), and 4) Number of families with household <br /> domestic violence as contributory to child maltreatment.
