How does funding this program add value to the community? (250 words OR LESS) District Court Judges in Orange County often mandate anger management Programming in landlord - tenant disputes and various other types of neighbor and consumer disputes. Without this programming, those who commit these crimes never learn healthy and pro - social ways to express anger and manage conflict and are likely to reengage in criminal behavior when faced again with the typical stressors of community life. Reducing recidivism serves, not only to protect the health and well -being of offenders and victims, but also to facilitate intact family time, thereby reducing the burden on over - strained government support systems. j) Describe what would happen if requested funding is not awarded at all or if a reduced allocation is recommended. This year's proposed fee for participation in our Anger Management program represents a reduction of $115. (From $315 to $200.) This is in response to stakeholder concerns that our participant fees were too costly and represented a barrier to participation. If requested funding is not awarded, the Pathways Board of Directors will likely opt to maintain fees at their current level, thereby limiting the numbers of participants who can afford the programming. k) What percentage of your target population is low - moderate income?
