• Concern about the increase in the number of younger kids (under age 12)that are being seeing in juvenile court, especially in recent years. With Orange County being a smaller county, numbers are more easily skewed, but Denise also reported that this is becoming a statewide trend. Is there a way to get more information? The Orange County Community Collaborative is taking a look at some of this and Freedom House is going to look at mobile crisis numbers, DSS CPS is going to bring information on reasons for kids entering foster care, Cardinal is pulling information on service utilization, and Denise will pull data on charges and referral source for those under 12. Anyone who is in JCPC and wants to be part of Community Collaborative is welcome to come or join the mailing list. Consultant Update Psych Services program with Freedom House is going to be dissolved because those services are now being provided by the new County position. The program originally was awarded approximately $8,000; however, some of those funds have been spent on administrative overhead so there is actually less than that available. Denise is proposing that the currently funded programs be given an opportunity to submit a request for the additional funds for any unexpected needs that may not have been budgeted. Denise will send an email to all the program providers with instructions and the form they will be required to complete with the need and amount. They will also be required to provide a match and must confirm that they have it available if awarded the funds. The match can be in-kind unless a program is asking for technology, then a cash match is required. Denise will then bring the requests to the Funding Committee for review and to provide a recommendation to the board to be voted on in April. ➢ Next JCPC Meeting: Friday,April 6, 2018; Location: Southern Human Services Center, 2501 Homestead Rd, Chapel Hill NC
