PURPOSE: To receive Criminal Justice Partnership (CJPP) implementation grant funds totaling
$176,538 from the NC Department of Correction and to approve contracts for the continuation of
local services.
BACKGROUND: The NC Department of Correction has approved the annual grant proposal
submitted by the Orange-Chatham Justice Partnership Advisory Board (OCJP). The purpose of
this award is to operate programs, identified by the OCJP, which serve adult offenders from
Orange and Chatham counties (Attachment 1).
These grant funds are designed to assist adult offenders sentenced to intermediate sanctions.
A CJPP-eligible intermediate punishment offender is defined as an adult offender convicted of a
misdemeanor or a felony offense who received anon-incarcerative sentence of an intermediate
punishment or who is serving a term of post-release supervision after completing an active
sentence of imprisonment.
Orange County has served as the fiscal agent since the original grant allocation was received in
1994. Program services are administered through the OCJP and provided through contractual
arrangements.
With these grant dollars, the OCJP supports:
• The Freedom House Resource Center. This program, administered through contractual
arrangements with Freedom House Recovery Center, will serve as a "one-stop shop"
and ensure accessibility to prevention, early screening, treatment services and after
care/referral for alcohol and drug addicted I-Sanctioned offenders. The program will
provide a continuum of services for the 15-B judicial district including, assessment, drug
screening, educational services, detox, residential care, outpatient treatment, and after
care support services. The contract totals $166,538 and is provided at Attachment 2.
Additionally, in an effort to serve the entire 15-B judicial district, Freedom House will
contract with Caring Family Networks to provide Intensive Outpatient Treatment for
CJPP-eligible Chatham County residents. This subcontract is provided for reference as
Attachment 3.
® Administration - $10,000 of the grant award will be for the administration and County
staff support overseeing the grant.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Program services are provided through CJPP grant funds. In addition,
the County contributes $24,000 to the Freedom House Recovery Center for treatment services.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board (1) accept the grant
award and authorize the Chair to sign contingent upon final review by staff and the County
Attorney; and (2) approve the contract with Freedom House and authorize the Chair to sign
contingent upon final review by staff and the County Attorney.

effective manner of providing services. In the case where the county opts not to use a
competitive process and the cost of contractual services exceeds the range of typical rates for
such services in other counties, the NCDOCCJPP may require the county to make a request
for proposals or utilize competitive bidding before expending funds for contractual services.

lodging and subsistence shall not exceed the normal and usual amount allowable by the
Grantee for such costs under rules and policies applicable to Grantee=s official business. In
