After discussion about the County funded position and whether there is still a gap in service , it was decided that there is and that Freedom House is still willing and able to provide the service . Since Freedom House had already submitted an application that was conditionally approved pending the outcome of the County position, today it is up to the JCPC Board to decide whether or not to formally approve the funding of their application . Donna King motioned to follow the Funding Committee ' s recommendation to allocate the $ 4 , 030 to Freedom House for the Child and Adolescent Outpatient Services program to serve youth who do not conflict with the population to be served by the county ' s newly created position and was seconded by Penny Rich . Motion carried unanimously . Carol McClelland and Stephanie Jones abstained due to conflict of interest . Denise will return the application and Carol will review to make sure there is nothing that will need to be changed prior to DocuSign process . Announcements Parks and Recreation are now accepting applications for Fall Soccer and Flag Football leagues . If you have any youth who would like to participate but are not able to do because of financial restraints , please contact Rebekah because DSS has funds available that may be able to assist with the cost of registration . JCPC brochures have finally been completed and are available . Please take some and share . Consultant Update NCJSA Fall Conference will be October 25 - 27 at Carolina Beach . The Department has teamed up with NCJSA to provide training to JCPC funded program during the 2 days prior to the conference . For those who are not able to attend , the exact same workshops and speakers will be duplicated somewhere in the Greensboro/Winston Salem area in the spring . The Department will also be doing a Raise the Age retreat September 18 -20 for department personnel in the Greensboro area. Denise will be able to provide an update at the next JCPC meeting . Orange County disbursements went out and could be in the county anywhere between this afternoon and August 8 . The Department is doing more disbursements right now to catch everyone up as program agreements are being approved . The Department received a special grant to work on a project with SAS that is projected to roll out at the end of summer 2018 . It will be a database of all programs , JCPC funded or not, that are available within the community . When court counselors enter information on the youth they are working with, there will be a service delivery match of what services are available in the community and where the youth should be referred . Other areas that use a similar database have data that show a great recidivism reduction by being able to connect youth with the right services at the right time .
