The News and Observer published an article the other day about the use of restorative justice circle in Durham County where a child was accidentally shot by a gun . An adult had fired a gun off down into the floor below him and struck a 10 year old girl , who survived . The man was facing serious charges and prison time and Durham Courts used the restorative justice circle with her and her family . While we hear about the end product of the circle , something like that involves months and months of work and the community coming together to make it happen ( including DAs , public defenders , judges) . Public transportation in Northern Orange continues to be a barrier for households trying to access key medical and mental health services . For example , the circular bus does not stop at the Health Department in Hillsborough, OCIM , and other key locations . The circular bus used to stop at the Health Department but was dropped . And even trying to get from Hillsborough to ifficult . Advocates are trying to get the bus stops expanded , Chapel Hill to access services is d but in the meantime they are working to try to bring services to the locations that the bus does stop . Service providers are also encountering some barriers when it comes to trying to bring their services to more accessible locations . For example , when the County changed its reservation process and policies a few years back , it not only made the process more difficult, but it also instituted a facility use fee . Consultant Update Now that funding recommendations have been approved , and once award letters go out to program providers , Denise will notify the programs once their applications have been returned in NCALLIES in order to make adjustments to the budgets and/or the narrative part . The Department does have two RFPs out right now, but they don ' t apply to Orange County because we don ' t have the need based on the data .
