County Funding Plan for 2026- 2027 PURPOSE: To approve the Orange County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) Certification and County Plan for FY 2026-2027. BACKGROUND: Orange County receives $359,096 from the NC Department of Public Safety to provide program services to juvenile offenders through the JCPC. This allocation requires a 30% match, and the County has historically provided these funds which total $107,729 and are included in the Manager's Recommended budget. (Note: The attached funding grid reflects the County match as well as other local dollars awarded to the program agencies.) Every JCPC in the State of North Carolina must be certified to perform the legislated duties outlined in the North Carolina General Statutes. The certification verifies that the local JCPC has completed the following responsibilities in its efforts to function within the guidelines of legislation: • Membership: positions are filled and appointed by the County Commissioners with staggered terms; • By-laws: the JCPC has current bylaws; • Policies and Procedures: the JCPC has written policies and procedures for funding of programs and conflict of interest; • Leadership: the JCPC has a Chair and Vice-Chair at a minimum; • Minutes: the minutes of meetings are recorded and maintained; • Meetings: the JCPC meets at least bi-monthly and a majority of members is required to conduct business; • Program Monitoring/Evaluation: the JCPC monitors and evaluates all funded programs; • Media and Requests for Proposal (RFP): the JCPC communicates through the media and by written RFP the availability of funding to all public and private non-profit agencies and interested community members that serve at-risk children and their families; • Public Awareness: the JCPC announces meetings in advance to the public and makes the community aware of the results of the planning process; 2 • Risk Factor Assessment: the JCPC documents prioritization of risk factors; • Comprehensive Strategy Assessment: the JCPC documents services available to meet prioritized risk factors and an assessment of gaps, issues and barriers to needed services; • Needed Interventions: the JCPC documents the prioritized, needed interventions; • Outcomes and Strategies: the JCPC reviews juvenile justice data and develops specific outcomes and strategies for implementation; • Funding: the JCPC Annual Plan includes the Funding Plan. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Certification document must be received by the NC Department of Public Safety, Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice, by June 30, 2026 in order for local program funds to be disbursed beginning in the month of July. ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports: • GOAL 2: HEALTHY COMMUNITY OBJECTIVE 4. Reduce impacts and barriers for justice-involved children and adults through deflection, diversion, therapeutic interventions, and re-entry support, including housing. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the JCPC Certification and County Plan for FY 2026-2027 and authorize the Chair to sign the associated documents. 3 Juvenile Crime Prevention Council County Plan Or County For FY 2026-2027 Table of Contents I.

Attachments: m Funded Program Descriptions ® By-Laws ® 2025-2026 JCPC Minutes 4 Executive Surumai-y The Orange County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC), in fulfillment of the duties and responsibilities as set forth in the General Statutes of the State of North Carolina,has reviewed and updated this County Plan for FY 2026-2027. In 2019, House Bill 593 passed which approved an optional 1 or 2-year finding cycle for DPS JCPC fiends, which is determined locally by each JCPC statewide. Also included in the HB was Raise the Age in N.C. which directs 16- & 17-year-olds from District Court to Juvenile Court. In order to see any new possible trends in juvenile justice data(now serving 16- & 17-year-olds) and to plan programming in the community accordingly, the Orange County JCPC approved a 1-"Yeas, funding cycle. Data continues to be monitored by the JCPC annually, which provides direction to which finding cycle is most beneficial to the community and Council. The JCPC has identified the issues and factors which have an influence and impact upon vulnerable youth, at-risk youth, delinquent youth, and their families in Orange County. Further, the JCPC has identified the strategies and services most likely to reduce/prevent delinquent behavior. Monitoring and Evaluation: Each program funded in the past fiscal year by the JCPC has been monitored by the JCPC Monitoring Committee and programs were found in full compliance with DPS JCPC Policy and within the operating parameters of their budget and providing the services as described in their program agreement. The monitoring results and program outcome evaluations were considered in malting finding allocation decisions, The JCPC will continue to conduct annual implementation monitoring of its funded programs. Priorities for Funding: Tlnough a review of risk& needs assessment data, the Youth Assessment Screening Inventory (YASI) data and a community resource assessment, the JCPC has determined that the following services are needed to reduce/prevent delinquency in Orange County. 1. Restitution/Community Service 2. Teen Court including Sentencing and Responsive Circles 3. Interpersonal Skill Building 4. Parent/Family Skill Building 5. Mediation/ Conflict Resolution program 6. Substance Abuse Counseling 7. Home Based Family Counseling 8. Family Counseling 9. Individual/Group/Mixed Counseling 10. Mentoring Services 11. Vocational Skills 12. Experiential Skills 13. Tutoring/Academic Enhancement 14. Runaway Shelter Care 15. Temporary Shelter Care 16. Juvenile Structured Day Funding Recommendations: Having advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for these services needed for a minimum of thirty (30) days, the JCPC has screened the submitted proposals and has determined which proposals best meet the advertised needed services. As required by statute, the JCPC recommends allocation of the NC Department of Public, Division of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention funds to the following programs in the amounts specified in the Orange County Funding Plan with this report.

Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument (YASI) Summary 11. Summary of Community Resources 111. Summary of Gaps and Barriers in the Community Continuum IV. Proposed Priority Services for Funding Part I. Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument (YASI) Summary On November 10, 2025, the Orange County JCPC Risk and Needs Assessment Committee met to review the data gleaned from the Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument (YASI) which was implemented by Juvenile Court Services beginning January 1, 2021. The full assessment consists of over 100 separate items useful for both predictive risk and case management, so data reported from this review will consist of county-level risk factors that may be prioritized by the JCPC for RFP development, as well as for highlighting prevalent issues among court involved juveniles that individual programs and community-based service organizations will want to consider when working with court-involved juveniles in the county. All juveniles at intake receive the YASI Pre-Screen (33 questions) which is also embedded in each full assessment. The aggregate Outputs from full YASI assessments are just one of the data sources used by the Committee and are the focus of surnmaries that follow in this document. YASI questions are framed in either a historic context(Legal History, for example), or in some cases, "current" or "prior three-months" timeframes for other, more dynamic, questions. The following data summary represents the first ful I fiscal year of implementation of the YASI. In reviewing and prioritizing the elevated risk and needs extracted from this data set, one must consider the utilization of YASI as a predictor of future risk of offending; and as a case management instrument for determining level of service and types of services necessary to reduce recidivism. Orange County YASI Summary Observations: FY 2024-2025 The overall YASI summary data is based on 96 individual youth who were assessed during the fiscal year 2024- 2025 coming to the attention of Court Services.

Proposed Priority Services for Funding The committee compared the services needed to address the elevated Juvenile Risk Factors and Juvenile Needs with services currently available in the community. Services which are currently available in the community and sufficient to meet the needs of court involved youth or those youth most at risk for court involvement are not considered as a priority for JCPC funding. The Committee proposes that the following services be approved as the funding priorities for FY 26-27: l. Restitution/Community Service 2. Teen Court including Sentencing and Responsive Circles 3. Interpersonal Skill Building 4. Parent/Family Skill Building 5. Mediation/Conflict Resolution program 6. Substance Abuse Counseling 7. Home Based Family Counseling 8. Family Counseling 9.

There will be a special meeting called in January to approve minutes. JCPC Business- All JCPC board members are asked to complete Conflict of Interest Forms, as required for our annual certification. David will email the forms. David discussed adding Taryn Beachler to the NC Allies roster as a member appointed by the commissioners. In addition, Christy Watson will have to be moved from the County Commissioner's appointee to the designee for the Sheriff's Office. We do not have a quorum and cannot vote on the RFP or the budget amendment for RSN. David has shared a resolution from the Department of Public Safety requesting that the resolution be submitted and approved by the County Commissioners. This resolution is being shared throughout the state requesting support of increased funding for the JCPC's as well as some other programmatic efforts provided through DPS. The Commissioners will meet on December 9t", and the resolution will be presented on the agenda for their approval. Program Updates Dispute Settlement- CJ Suitt They were able to close one out in October. Their numbers have been low, but they just got another case from DJJ which is connected to another case they were handling. They added one new referral. They are working to get their numbers up, their goal is to work with 20 youth, and they have currently served four. They will network with Scott,AP, and other community agencies to assess ways to improve numbers. Exchange Club-LaDanna Strong Parenting Solutions Group- In the month of October,they received two referrals. There were three clients in the beginning of October and they successfully terminated two clients, which left the count at one. The referrals were from DSS. They had a truancy meeting with the school social workers to engage them in the program. They did not receive any referrals in November but were able to admit all of the clients on their waiting list. They currently have four clients open. Their goal for the year is to serve nine clients, and they have met that goal. They have admitted five for this fiscal year. The clients were from DSS. They are still marketing to work with the Department of Juvenile Justice, Mental Health Agencies, and school social workers to get more referrals. 49 Reintegrated Support Network- Jamie Jacobs They are currently serving five individuals. There were no referrals in October. In November,they admitted two youth. They have been working on their wait list and it is now clear, so spaces are available. They submitted a budget amendment to support a bilingual program specialist. They last their bilingual support in July when they transitioned. They feel this is one of their biggest needs with more bilingual referrals and some of the caregivers are Spanish speaking only. AP shared a successful mentorship relationship with a mentee who was working on fitness goals and getting into a program to help obtain his HS diploma. He was able to get into a program with the help of his mentor and to reach his goals. Transportation has not been a current issue for their students; they usually drive or catch the bus. Volunteers for Youth- Scott Dreyer TeenC01171- For the month October, they did not receive any referrals. In November, they had one referral and admitted one youth. They have served eight youth thus far. They are working to add a short-term mentoring component while they are in the program to give additional benefits and support to the youth. Hopefully, this will encourage additional referrals. In November, they had one referral, five admissions and two successful completions year to date. They have served 36 youth. Community Service and Restitution- Most of the referrals come from DJJ. They also pick up youth coming through teen court. There are four active teen court kids who are in the Community Service Program, Wrenn House- Patricia Cardoso Wrenn House served four Orange County youth in the month of November. They received two referrals, and neither were admitted. One youth declined over the policy of not having cell phone access. With respect to the second referral,the mother was looking for a longer-term solution. They feel serving four is a good number for Orange County based on where they are in the fiscal year. Grow Your World- Shane Hogan Oliver During the month of October, they received three referrals and admitted one into the program. They incorporated the grade check system, where tutors checked the students grades for mistakes and assignments for each class, to learn areas of struggle. This helps tutors best address students' academic needs. They faced challenges getting in contact with families due to phone disconnections, or wrong numbers. They are working with court counselors to resolve these issues. One success for the month was the completion of one of the youth's diversion plans. The youth enjoyed the program and decided to continue tutoring each week. For the month of November,there were no referrals or admissions. They did have two successful completions. One youth completed the diversion program, and one decided to discontinue tutoring. Both students were a joy to have in the program. Grade check-ins were beneficial, and the students felt more comfortable sharing their grades in a judgment free environment. They are already seeing academic improvements among several Students. David Carter's Consultant Report- To date this fiscal year, there has been 39 admissions to all JCPC programs. In Orange, there have been 70 youth served. That includes those youth that were in programs last fiscal year and they were carried over, as well as 46 terminations.

Next,there was a brief overview of the budget revision submitted from the Exchange Club Parent Teen Solutions Program, by Sarah Black. Their agency did not get allocations from grant funders until August, and they were making educated guesses for other provider costs. They changed some operational costs to try to lower costs. However,things got more expensive. They were able to join a new health care network which allowed them to save money. Unfortunately, in January when they got renewals,the price increased to $124 per person. Caitlin Fenhagen moved to approve the revised budget. Sharron Hinton seconded the motion. The members voted to approve the budget revisions. David Carter gave an overview of the RFP. The Orange County Risk and Needs Committee met on September 10, 2025. The members were Amanda Farris, Christy Watson, Kysha Thompson, and Tammy Pfeifer. Ms. Harriston from Boomerang and Jenny Robins from Orange County Partnership also attended. David went over the YASI (youth assessment screening instrument) report. The data from 96 youth assessed during FY 24/25 determined that 59% of the 96 were at moderate risk levels. The YASI has 3 levels, low, moderate, or high. For Orange County,the majority are at the moderate range. The assessment tool also assessed needs in six different categories ranked from low to high. The youth at moderate to high needs levels were 70%. These youth are high risk and will require some intrinsic, intensive programing. YASI also looks at 12 domains for the youth and their family to include prior history with juvenile justice. It assesses school domain, past offenses, history of mental health, criminal history, and substance abuse. Out of these, 59% of our youth had a previous delinquent referral, 49% had prior felony charges, 27% had previous weapon offenses, and 32%of the youth had previously run away 52 from home. 30% of the youth had a family member with a prior criminal history. 33% had inadequate supervision at home. Only 44% of the youth attended school regularly, 46% of youth were failing some or all of their classes. 44% of the youth have no interest in school activities, 74% are associated with delinquent peers, 57% are going along with negative peers. 54% are using substances,whether illegal or prescription drugs.17%began using substances before age 12. 67% of those who used alcohol and drugs have not had any prior treatment. This data has been included in the FY 26/27 RFP for funding. The Risk and Needs Committee has determined the programming types for the RFP. There was discussion about targeting more intensive programs to better meet the needs of the at-risk youth. Commissioner Bedford moved to approve the RFP. Caitlin Fenhagen seconded the motion, the board members voted to approve the RFP. Caitlin Fenhagen asked if we could add to the February agenda a presentation of some of the agencies that are serving other counties with higher levels of intervention. Sharron Hinton asked Rachel Donovan if she could also give an update on what is taking place with Alliance.
