The Funding Committee recommends the following for FY 2019-20: <br /> JCPC Admin $8,178 <br /> Young Warriors $0 <br /> Wrenn House $10,722 <br /> Teen Court $61,330 <br /> Restitution& Community Service $69,870 <br /> Mediation&Conflict Resolution $40,500 <br /> Boomerang $28,131 <br /> Family Advocacy Network $0 <br /> Child&Adolescent Outpatient Services $0 (did not request funding) <br /> Unallocated $59,000 <br /> Additionally,the Funding Committee is proposing a second RFP be published for the unallocated funds <br /> for an interpersonal skills building program that has a parent and child component.
