FINANCE REPORT November 3, 1977
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, PAUL E. KASPER, CHAIRMAN
IN RE: COMMUNITY ALTERNATIVES TO THE SECURE DETENTION OF STATUS OFFENDERS
1ST YEAR GRANT APPLICATION - JUVENILE COURT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
This is the first year of a two year pilot program to find alternative
methods in the detention of juvenile "status-type" offenders. These "status-
type" offenders are youths truant from home or school, or were incorrigible
in their behavior at home or school. "Status-type" offenders refers to the
fact that these type of offenses relate to the status of being a juvenile
and that these same offenses would not be considered criminal if committed
by an adult.
This program would allow for immediate counselling and aids available
at all hours during the week, night or day. It would find means of providing
referral services, constant contact, follow up and long-range resolutions
of the problems which precipitated the delinquent behavior. Also important
is the alternative placement facilities in the community rather than
juvenile detention facilities, because at present it is not possible to
release a youth accused of being truant and/or incorrigible back to his/her
parents or placed with a relative, especially for the time period immediately
following the crisis.
This Grant is for the period of October 1, 1977 through September 30,
1978. The total proposed program funding is $197,931 For the first year,
Oakland County's share of the $197,931 would be $19,793 (10%) and the
remaining $178,138 (90%) would be Federal share. Second year funding will
be requested for this program as follows:
