Freedom House Recovery Center <br />Project Turn Around <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Sharron Hinton, ext 2302 <br />Trish Vandersea, ext 2217 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To amend the Criminal Justice Partnership Program (C.1PP) contracts with Project <br />Turn Around (PTA) and Freedom House Recovery Center. <br />BACKGROUND: At the December 14, 2004 BOCC meeting, the Board approved the contracts <br />for Freedom House ($50,102) and PTA ($44,401) far services to clients eligible far CJPP <br />dollars. These grant funds are designed to assist adult offenders sentenced to intermediate <br />sanctions. ACJPP-eligible intermediate punishment offender is defined as an adult offender <br />convicted of a misdemeanor or a felony offense who received anon-incarcerative sentence of <br />an intermediate punishment or who is serving a term of post-release supervision after <br />completing an active sentence of imprisonment. <br />Due to staff turnover at PTA, lapsed salary funds totaling $16,000 will not be spent by PTA <br />during this fiscal year, Instead of returning these unused dollars to the state funding agency, <br />NC Department of Correction, the County has the opportunity to transfer said dollars to another <br />contract agency, Freedom House, As the grant dollars are itemized within our contractual <br />services line item, only an amendment is required. <br />The contract for Freedom House was to provide intensive outpatient treatment services, Not <br />only has this agency provided services as specified in their contract, but it has also exceeded <br />the eligible amount of reimbursement for service delivery, To date, it has provided 823 days of <br />service for 27 individuals totaling $87,682. Of this amount, $37,580 exceeded the dollars <br />available within the current contract. These additional services represent 8 new clients, plus <br />clients carried over from previous months. Freedom House maintains a standing caseload of <br />approximately 12 people. <br />The attached contracts amend the dollar amounts for both agencies, reducing the PTA contract <br />by $16,000 and increasing the Freedom House contract by the same amount, This reallocation <br />
