BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) is recommending $350,000 in JCPC funds be approved for the development of temporary shelter care programming for justice involved youth with Thompson Child and Family Focus. It is anticipated that with the implementation of the Raise the Age legislation, temporary shelter care programming will be needed for older justice involved youths in an effort to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations, placement in YFS custody and/or detention. The FY20 Funding allocation plan was previously approved for $1,065,682 at the June 4, 2019 meeting on RFBA 19-5474. This action will increase the FY20 funding plan approval to the full amount allocated to Mecklenburg County by the Department of Public Safety - Division of Juvenile Justice of $1,415,682 for FY20.
