• 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
