VI. GENERAL NARRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Given the current availability of service and resources
that benefit children in your county (or multi-county
area) what are the most serious service needs of the
children in the county or area? In terms of service
outcomes, to what extent do the Child Care Fund and the
Basic Grant meet the needs of children within or in jeopardy
of coming within the juvenile justice system in the county
or multi-county area?
Overcrowding in the county's child care facilities makes
a home detention screening process and component extremely
important for 1985-86. See suggested modification in
staff usage in In Home Care-Component A to make the
screening possible and in Component Alternate A for monitoring
staff and expenses in the event our request for funding
elsewhere should be denied.
The other significant service need for children continues
to be adequate mental health care. The Child Care Fund
should not be the funding source to meet this need however.
In Oakland County local resources are provided for foster
care of children through both public and private auspices.
Child Care Fund expenditures in the County are controlled
through the Juvenile Court. Detention, shelter care,
treatment programs and foster care homes for children
are provided.
2. If In-Home Care and/or Basic Grant Programs are budgeted
in the county's(ies') annual Child Care Fund plan, how
do these programs dovetail into out-of-home Child Care
Fund activities? To what extent do these programs fill
"juvenile justice service" gaps within the county(ies)
or area?
Under In-Home Care, the Juvenile Court provides programming
for Status Offenders. The purpose of the program is to
reduce the number of Status Offenders requiring Detention
pending hearing and reduce the length of out of home
placements. Also the Grant provides intensive services for
young repeat offenders and their families under Component
11B11 .
3. If you are currently operating programs funded through
Child Care Fund or Basic Grant and grants from other
governmental or private sources, state the percentage of
funding from each source and give a brief description of the
program. In additon, if you are currently funding programs
entirely with funds other than the Child Care Fund or Basic
Grant but are anticipating the use of the Child Care Fund
or Basic Grant to continue such programs, provide a
description of these programs. Your response to this
request will allow the office to determine whether the
programs meet requirements for Child Care Fund or Basic
Grant reimbursement.
If you are currently funding programs with other than
Child Care Fund monies, but are anticipating the use of
the the Child Care Fund to continue funding such programs
in the future; or, if a program described is not included
in your narrative for In-Home Care or Basic Grant, provide
a description of such programs. Attach such descriptions
to this document. Your response to this request will
allow the office to determine whether the future funding
of such programs meets In-Home Care or Basic Grant requirement.
If the Skillman Foundation funds the Home Detention
monitoring Component as a Pilot project in 1985-86 we
will likely consider for Child Care Fund in future. See
Component "Alternate A".
B. County Operated Institutions
If your county operates an institutional facility (treatment,
secure detention, non-secure detention, group or attention
homes, multi-purpose facility, etc.) describe the services
provided in each. Please state the bed capacity of each.
Presently, the court operates an active foster care and
adoption unit, the Oakland County Children's Village with
(I) a detention facility (capacity 69 beds, 52 beds in
Bldg. "Jul and 17 beds in Bldg. "A" South for girls' detention)
(2) a Shelter Care facility (capacity 44 beds) and (3)
five other units which would be utilized for what more
commonly would be called group care facilities, and are
referred to here as rehabilitation units. These rehabili-
tation units, combined with the programs at Camp Oakland
of Boys' Ranch, Girls' Ranch, Adams House and Work Education,
provide an additional bed capacity for 153 children.
It is not uncommon for youngsters to move from detention
or shelter care into one of these treatment or rehabilitation
programs.
C. General" Purpose County Facilities
If your county operates a facility that is used for Child
Care Fund reimbursable and non-Child Care Fund reimbursable
services, (e.g., to house probation staff or court rooms)
describe the formula that is used to prorate the Child
Care Fund costs for operating the facility, (e.g., fuel,
rent, electricity, maintenance). If this situation does
not apply to your county enter "not applicable".
The Adoptions and Foster Care unit is located in the
Administrative Wing of the Oakland Couty Children's Village
The county's 1985 assessment is $6.65 per square foot
for the office area of 4400 square feet, at a total amount
update of $29/263.
This rental rate incorporates costs of maintenance, fuel,
electricity, etc. As was noted last year, there is a
concern by the court that provisions should be made for
inclusion of these and other administrative costs for
operations of the Foster Home unit in the Child Care Fund
budget. The primary goal of the unit is to provide non-
institutional care for children who are unable to remain
in their own homes, consistent with present day deemphasis
on institutional care.
D. Court and County DSS Rate Schedules
Attach a schedule of base rates paid for family foster
care and independent living by the Court and DSS. If
State rates are used, a statement to that fact is sufficient
documentation.
State rates for foster care and independent living are
used, unless exceptional rates are approved in those cases
requiring special care.

1985/1986
GENERAL NARRATIVE
1984/1985 marked the addition of a second service component within the in-home care
budget. April 1, 1985, the Repeat Offender Project began operation. Although working
with an entirely different client population — the very young non-status offender at high
risk for recidivism -- the Repeat Offender Project and the existing Status Offender
Program share the same basic goals. Both programs aim at maintaining a significantly
higher percentage of youngsters in their community than has been the historical
precedent. Both view out-of-home placement as a not easily accommodated last resort.
Both strive to broaden the dispositional alternatives through the use of creative service
delivery systems. See 1983-84 General Narrative for details of Component A and 1984-85
General Narrative for details of Component B.
COMPONENT A
STATUS OFFENDER PROJECT
YHA The Status Offender Project has been an Oakland County Juvenile Court response
to the home truant since 1978. The basic goals -- reducing the numbers of preadjudication
detentions to no more than 25% of the 1975 levels and reducing the length of
preadjudication detention by 40% compared to the actual days experienced in 1975 remain
intact
VII A 1 Status Offender Project Profile
The project's basic workload consists of three program responses, each with it's own set of
responsibilities. Using the work year from August I, 1934 through July 31, 1985 (to
comply with the timing requirements of this report), the Status Offender Program dealt
with 171 clients. A crisis intervention model was offered to 88 client families. This
involved a face-to-face contact and assessment of the situation and a "brokering" of
services — referral to an agency best suited to meet that family's needs.
Fifty-four cases were placed under advisement. A petition was taken, held open, and
services offered for 30 to 60 days in hopes of avoiding further court involvement.
Thirty-eight cases were authorized for court.
Note that some clients might appear in more than one category. For example, under
advisement case might fail and end up being authorized for court.
Characteristics of the home truant in his or her family are not significantly different
from those described last year. Of the 171 clients served, 58 were male (a4%) and 113
were females (66%). Average age of the males was 15.1. Average age of the females
14.9.
Few had any prior court contact. The degree of family dysfunction, lack of success in
school or extracurricular activities, difficulty in developing relationships continue to
characterize the population.

Impact of the Project in 1984-85
Figures used reflect the 12 month period from 8/1/84 to 7/31/85.
1. There were 61 preadjudicated detentions of status offenders during this period
compared to 418 during the baseline year of 1975. This is only 1.5% of that total --
well ahead of our goal of reduction by 0 to 25%.
2. There were 475 preadjudication detention days in the reported period. A .53%
reduction from the 1975 baseline of 1,113 days. This also far surpasses our goal for
a 40% reduction.
It's important to break down further the concept of preadjudcation detention days. The
vast majority of those youngsters detained were detained for one to five days (46 of 61).
This number ordinarily corresponds to the date of the first or second preliminary hearing.
This seems to reflect the fact that upon admission to Children's Village, positions held by
both parents and child are very firmly entrenched. There seems to be no real giving
possible on either side. A brief cool down period where the youngster sees the
institutional alternative and the parents reassess they own commitment, often leads to an
ability to have that youngster return home often under an advisement period.
For a much smaller group (4 of 61) the cool down period is longer. Often alternative
living situations are worked out with a relative or custodian. These youngsters remain
some 6 to 15 days in detention.
The last and most frustrating group are those youngsters that, once in system, stay. This
represents 11 of the 61 youngsters placed in Children's Village. No community placement
appears possible. The Sanctuary or the Macomb/Oakland Interim Care Facility has
already been tried. The family has run out of relatives. There is usually a significant
rnental,health history for the child and often for the parents. Severe substance abuse and
promiscuity are usual symptoms. Multiple truancies from Shelter Care lead to placement
in a more restrictive setting. Usually there is a long tussle leading to placement in county
facilities or, more often, private placements. Some youngsters in this category are
successful maintaining long term truancies from facilities.
It is apparent that the unit is doing a highly successful job in keeping youngsters out of
facilities and shortening their stay if entered. We have not yet found a successful way to
deal with that small group of youngsters for whom truancy appears to be a way of life.
VII A 2 Likewise, each year seems to bring a new emphasis -- an add-on function
reflecting current court priorities. The use of the Status Offender Program staff to
provide an intensive, in-home dispositional alternative for status offenders is an example.
Rapid staff turnover made this particular program service no longer practicable.
1985/86 brings a new set of circumstances and a new plan for Status Offender staff
utilization in addition to its work with the home truant. We feel that the effort does not
constitute a new service component but a branching out of our basic goal of providing an
alternative to detention but to a new population. It refocuses the unit on what it does
best -- intervention on a short term crisis basis utilizing every energy to keep clients out
of facilities.
-3-
We propose to identify those moderate risk, non-status offenders who could function on a
home detention status instead of being placed in temporary detention in Children's
Village. The Status Offender Program staff would then devise and implement a specific
monitoring plan assuring compliance with home detention restrictions.
The following procedural outline seems both appropriate and possible to meet this goal:
The Status Offender Program staff would interview child and parent or parents prior
to the scheduled preliminary hearing. Using a structured interview looking at
severity of offense, police and court history, school performance and parental
ability to supervise, the Status Offender Program staff would present their findings
and recommendations at the preliminary hearing.
If a youngster is placed on home detention status, the Status Offender Program staff
would immediately set up a monitoring plan that staff would be responsible for that
plan during the 10 to 17 day period pending initial hearing. The plan would include a
combination of office visits, home calls and phone calls.
The Status Offender Program staff would supply a report to the Court regarding
compliance or non-compliance with the home detention restrictions.
It is our intent to decrease by 15% the number of detention days prior to
adjudication for non-status offenders through the use of this home detention
concept.
We have applied to the Skillman Foundation for funds to hire and support three
monitoring staff from Oakland University interns to carry out the home detention
restrictions. If this is not approved this fall, we would propose to eliminate one
Child Welfare Worker position from the Status Offender Project and use the funds to
contract with Oakland University for the three monitoring staff and to pay their
related expenses — similar to the monitoring staff currently in the Repeat Offender
Budget. See alternate Status Offender Budget.
We would also propose to retitle this component to "Status Offender/Home
Detention Program."

COMPONENT B
REPEAT OFFENDER PROJECT
This service component is still in its infancy. The targeted client population, the methods
of service delivery and the basic goals are well stated in our original application. Working
with the concept of recidivism by the very young offender, much of our impact will only
be known through longitudinal studies. Still, our early evaluations tell us we're on the
right track. We are satisfied that project component services and delivery systems will
remain essentially the same through this budget year. A full evaluation and client profile
follows.
VII A I. The following narrative describes the client population served by the Repeat
Offender Project and an evaluation of the impact of this service component on problems
addressed in our original proposal. Please recognize the short duration of our operation.
We began April 1, 1985. To meet the necessary September 1st submission deadline, all
statistics cover a four month length of time -- April 1st through July 31st,
Client Profile
As of 7/31/85, the Repeat Offender Program had assumed ownership of 33 cases.
Seventeen of these cases are "project youngsters" — those meeting the age, adjudication
and police history criteria described in the project proposal. The other 16 cases closely
resembled project cases in most criteria and all were referred to the project in lieu of
placement at Children's Village. Working with these non-project youngsters allowed us to
more fully utilize staff capabilities in the early stages of the project and to test our
program procedures. A specific waiver from the state was received to add these
youngsters to our client role. Obviously, as the number of project youngsters increase,
the number of non-project youngsters will decrease.
The profile of the project youngster is as follows with the proviso that 17 is a small
number from which to draw conclusions.
We have 15 boys and 2 girls meeting criteria. The two girls are somewhat of a surprise
since all the youngsters meeting criteria in both birth years studied in the courts earlier
recidivism studies were male. The age range is 10 to 13 with an average age of 12 years,
4 months at the time of referral.
There is a range of offenses but they tend to fall, half and half, in two major categories.
Half the youngsters have committed aggressive/assaultive acts usually charged as assault
and battery or felonious assault. The other half have committed property offenses,
usually larceny or receiving and concealing.
Referrals are county-wide with the 17 youngsters representing II school districts.
Client families are presenting the degree of dysfunction, lack of parenting skills, and low
self-esteem hypothesized in our original project implication.
Impact of the Project to Date
No youngster has been readjudicated on the basis of a new offense within the four months
reporting period.
-5-
No youngster has been removed from his or her home as a disposition.
Two youngsters have spent short stays in Children's Village. One stay was for four hours,
the other for six days. In each instance, the short term use of placement was a planned
response to specific behavior. In each instance, project staff and Children's Village staff
cooperatively designed an intervention strategy specific to that youngster's needs.
Part of any early evaluation must encompass basic project philosophy and procedures. Do
those strategies which sounded so good on paper really work? How are we received by
clients, colleagues, etc.? Some early findings:
The use of the paid intern/monitor has proven to be an effective and relatively
inexpensive way to increase program services. By teaming monitor with
caseworker, we are able to provide a coordinated, highly visible service to clients
with the ability to quickly respond to crises.
Likewise, Ph.D. candidate clinical interns are a highly effective, inexpensive means
of providing diagnostic and treatment services. Their accessibility as consultants to
monitors and caseworkers has greatly added to our intervention skills.
The idea of an intensive in-community program seems to have struck a responsive
cord. We have shared the concept with schools, police, public and private agencies
and there has been throughout an enthusiastic response. Cooperation on specific
cases has been excellent.
The hypothoses serving as a basis for our treatment strategies appear well-founded.
Client families present the anticipated diagnostic picture and respond to planned
interventions.
