THIS AGREEMENT, made this day of , 19 , between the
PROBATE/JUVENILE COURT for the COUNTY OF OAKLAND, hereinafter called "Court" and
THE SANCTUARY, situated at 1222 South Washington, Royal Oak, Michigan.
WHEREAS The Sanctuary, a community based, private, non-profit, licensed
child institution, exists to provide shelter and counseling to young people in
crisis. While services are targeted to Oakland County residents, The Sanctuary
will serve any youth who meets their eligibility requirements.
THE SANCTUARY seeks to provide a voluntary community based program for
runaways, throwaways, and young people in crisis. The Sanctuary's primary goals
include preventing court involvement of youth, and reconciling young people and their
families. Services are provided without cost to families, and include emergency
sheltercare for up to fifteen (15) days (with parental consent), daily group
counseling, individual and family counseling and information and referral.
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners is supportive of the Sanctuary's service
availability to Oakland County residents, has a history of support for the Sanctuary's
program and has allocated funds not to exceed $5,000 to be disseminated through the
Juvenile Court budget.
IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT the Oakland County Juvenile Court, the Status
Offender Program, and the Youth Assistance caseworkers, will make referrals to the
Sanctuary whenever possible.
THE SANCTUARY shall be reimbursed at the rate of $16.66 per day, per child
that has been referred by the Oakland County Juvenile Court programs, up to S5,000
during the County budget period. This rate is applicable regardless of the client's
wardship status. This reimbursement shall be retroactive to the beginning of the
County budget year (January 1, 1981).
THE SANCTUARY maintains the right to determine eligibility of clients
for its program and to terminate clients from services if deemed necessary.
It is recognized that the Santuary will continue to provide services to
clients referred by Oakland County Juvenile Court if the $5,000 available for
payment is exhausted.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this agreement
on the day and date first above written.
