PROJECT ABSTRACT
The Oakland County Department of Health and Human Services, Children's
Village Division in collaboration with Crossroads for Youth and local stakeholders is
invested in the continuation of the Reentry Process in order to continue strengthening
existing reentry and aftercare services. Children's Village is applying for an OjJDP FY
2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant. This grant will provide continuation
funding for a Juvenile Offender Reentry Program that has been initiated for Oakland
County.
The primary purpose and goal of the program is to reduce recidivism among the
targeted population by 50 percent over 5 years while increasing positive outcomes for the
youth and their families. The target population for this project includes juvenile
offenders who are being released from a residential treatment program to an Oakland
County community. Children's Village, together with key public and private
stakeholders comprising the Reentry Program Taskforce, intend to support approximately
100 youth annually in their successful return home.
Progress toward the accomplishment of program goals is being measured through
the tracking and recording of identified/required performance measures. Data is being
compiled that identifies key outcome measures we have been incorporated into the
Reentry Process.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE (Attachment 1)
Statement of the Problem
Returning juveniles to the community without support systems strong enough to assist
them in maintaining all they have learned in structured treatment programs is problematic for
youths, their families and the community. Returning juveniles to the environment from which
they came without a comprehensive plan for support and accountability is too often futile.
Juvenile success in reentering society is dependent upon the development and implementation of
a reintegration process that allows them to build upon the strengths and life skills they learned in
residential treatment programs. -
The Michigan Department of Corrections has committed $2.7 million to the reentry of
adults in Oakland and Livingston counties in 2010. This commitment, however, leaves a gap in
services for the juvenile population. Nevertheless, this effort demonstrates the investment and
dedication by the state to working with the community to reduce recidivism and ensure public
safety. While Michigan is working toward a reentry effort for juveniles this effort is only in the
initial stages. Continuation funds for this reentry initiative, if awarded, will enable us to continue
program implementation and service delivery in Oakland County.
Performance Measures
Key outcome measures for our Reentry Process include (1) Reducing recidivism by 50%
over 5 years, as defined by a return to detention with either a new conviction or as the result of a
violation of the terms of supervision within 12 months of initial release. (2) Enacting systems
change toward best practice, as defined by changes in policy and practice at Children's Village
and Crossroads; (3) Increasing positive outcomes as defined by intermediate indicators (success
in employment, education, housing, family reunification, health/mental health treatment,
Page 1 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
OJJDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
substance abuse treatment, etc.); (4) Enhancing cost-savings by streamlining services and
reinvesting in best practices, as defined by sustainable investment in reentry funding at the
county or state-level; (5) Diminish/discontinue the cycle that often propels youth in juvenile
justice into the adult criminal system and adult prison; as defined by the number of program
youth tracked through the Oakland Circuit Court and the Michigan Department of Corrections.
The Reentry Process Executive Team will continue to identify all necessary data
measures to ensure that the goals and objectives specified in the grant are being met. Specific
performance measures as defined and required in this grant solicitation will be documented to
indicate the impact on the target population. Data will be compiled and provided that measures
the results of the Reentry Process. A database at Children's Village has been developed and
implemented to record critical data as specifically required in this grant solicitation. This data
will be used to measure and report on the Performance Measures Requirements. A .primary
objective is the prevention of delinquent behavior and the reduction of recidivism in juvenile
offenders. We are currently tracking and providing services that address at risk behaviors,
improvements in family functioning, academic progress, etc. Evidence-based best practices are
incorporated into services provided to youth and families participating in the Youth Reentry
Process. Examples of Oakland County Reentry Process evidenced-based best practices currently
available to youth and their families include: Motivational Interviewing/Motivational
Enhancement; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; and the "The Seven Challenges" (Dr Robert
Schwebel) adolescent substance abuse program. Post release substance abuse treatment is
provided using the "Bloomington Adolescent Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Treatment
model". The two primary evidenced based treatment approaches involve skill building in a
group format and counseling in a group setting,
Page 2 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
0,13rDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
A critical component of managing this project and assuring continuous quality
improvement will be the use of data that supports internal and external reporting requirements
and evidence-based services. Program staff will support the independent evaluators as they use
data to identify problems, opportunities, and successes and will support recommendations to
further improve service processes and management practices. Case information throughout all
the youth's treatment phases such as clinical assessments, court process, case management,
treatment, placement and post-release are entered into the Data Management System, managed
by Children's Village, to allow for a comprehensive picture of services. Children's Village will
also maintain records for the Reentry Program and has developed an information Sharing
Agreement with OLSHA (Oakland Livingston Human Services Agency) who will maintain data
for evaluation purposes.
The Statewide Youth Reentry Workgroup, housed with the Michigan Department of
Human Services, continues to work with Oakland County's in their utilization of this model.
The Workgroup will collaborate with Oakland County to identify statutory, regulatory, rules-
based and practice-based hurdles to reintegration and incorporate these findings into its Youth
Reentry Guidebook as key barriers for all counties to address as reentry efforts emerge and
expand across the state. Additionally, the Department of Human Services will continue to
advance reentry efforts by supporting local sustainable funding where possible in the support of
youth reentry initiatives.
The Michigan Council on Crime and Delinquency (MCGD) has been selected to provide
technical assistance due to their success in working with Steering Teams across the state.
MCCD is also providing technical assistance to the statewide Michigan Youth Reentry
Workgroup and will serve as a liaison to ensure coordination of these two efforts. MCCD will
Page 3 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
0,1JDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
work to effectively disseminate the lessons learned from Oakland County and pursue replication
in collaboration with the state and key urban areas.
Long-term results for the program include positive outcomes in three measures: (1) fewer
youth returning to residential facilities for delinquent or criminal behavior; (2) reduced
recidivism will create safer communities; and (3) more youth transitioning to constructive adult
lives. Longevity of these identified measures will provide a strong foundation for policymakers
to adapt and incorporate into juvenile justice standards.
Collaboration with diverse stakeholders is integral to the success of this initiative in achieving
improved quality, better outcomes and safer communities.
• Counseling/ Family Reunification: Oakland Family Services (OFS), through a contractual
agreement with OLHSA, will provide behavioral health services to youth as well as their
families. This is accomplished throu&h group treatment as well as individual treatment,
using evidence based models and family therapy approaches.
• Education/ Vocational Training
o School-age youth are encouraged to return to school or an alternative education
program to achieve a high school diploma, GED, or degree in higher learning.
Systems Navigators work to facilitate reentry into these programs.
o Oakland County Community College offers a number of training programs, soft
skills training, employment readiness, and college classes for those individuals
who have completed their GED and wish to enroll in college level classes.
• Employment/ Business Partnerships: Jewish Vocational Services (.1VS) 'school to work'
programs expose high school students to a variety of career options, as well as

employment expectations and employability skills training. NS partners with employers
who provide students with invaluable, hands-dn training in real work settings.
* Housing referrals and limited assistance with housing are provided through current
partners in the community: Pontiac Housing Commission currently works with those
returning to the community by providing reasonable rent at their facilities.
* Community Mental Health Partnerships: Common Ground offers peer support groups for
youth in the community and will continue to offer these services as part of this initiative.
. * Physical Health Partnerships: Partnerships have already been implemented with the Gray
Burnstein clinic, a free clinic, for those individuals requiring health services. In addition,
program participants are encouraged to utilize the services of Oakland Primary Health
Clinic, a federally funded primary health clinic, also located in Oakland County and the
Oakland County Health Division who is providing a dedicated field nurse to this effort.
• Law Enforcement: We will work with the courts and probation officers to implement the
use of electronic tethers' for those individuals requiring extensive monitoring.
Program Design and Implementation
The target population includes male and female juvenile offenders, ages 12 to 17 who are
returning to Oakland County from Children's Village and Crossroads for Youth residential
treatment programs. Children's Village, a county-operated facility, returns approximately 94
juvenile offenders to communities within Oakland County annually. Crossroads for Youth, a
private non- profit placement returns approximately 47 juvenile offenders annually. These
facilities are the primary residential treatment providers for court wards in Oakland County. The
average age of juveniles in residential treatment programs is 14.5 and placements can occur due
to criminal or incorrigible behavior. A secure treatment program is available for young men who
Page 5 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
0.1JDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
require greater security and structure due to higher risk behavior. Treatment providers in these
facilities are committed to developing a system where comprehensive assessments drive case
plans and youth receive evidence-based treatment that provides lasting post release results.
In 2009, there were 959 youth in the juvenile Justice System in Oakland County. As of
December 31, 2009, 170 youth were placed in Children's Village and 58 were placed in
Crossroads for Youth and 93 were made permanent court wards. The racial makeup of youth in
the Oakland County Juvenile Justice System during this period was 52% White, 41% Black, 2%
Hispanic, 1.5% Asian, 3% other race, and .5% were of unknown race. 68% of the youth were
male and 32% were female. With a mean age of 15.4,8% of the youth were 13 years of age or
younger while 20% were age 17 or 18. Of the 107 youth between the ages of 12 and 17 released
from Children's Village in 2008, 35.9% recidivated between their release date and 12/31/09.
This recidivism rate dues not include youth who committed technical Violations of Probation,
Violations of Court Order or those who were charged with new status offenses. The goal of this
program is to reduce recidivism by 50% over 5 years by increasing positive outcomes for youth
and their families.
Jurisdiction over youth in the Juvenile Justice System resides within the Family Division
of the Oakland County Circuit Court. Each court ward is assigned a Probation Officer to oversee
case management services and report progress to the Court. Currently, each youth that enters
these two residential treatment programs receives a strengths and needs assessment that helps to
determine treatment goals and objectives. However, the current process does not thoroughly
identify the dynamic factors that predict criminogenic risk. The Probation Officer works with
treatment staff from Children's Village or Crossroads for Youth, the youth and the family to
develop goals and objectives to be completed prior to release. Uniformity, however, is lacking in
Page 6 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
OlIDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
that the content of the transition plans may vary depending on the members of the team. With
focused investment, these treatment programs and the Court can create a uniform process of
communication and coordination.
The greatest barrier to successful reentry is securing resources and remedying gaps in
service after a youth is released from residential treatment. Although extensive gap analysis has
been completed for adults, a more robust process of thoroughly assessing youth services would
greatly benefit the reentry infrastructure to ensure that service gaps are filled and the needs of
youth and families are being met.
Given its vast expertise and solid infrastructure for providing adult reentry services,
Oakland County is an ideal location to expand upon its youth reentry initiative. Stakeholders
continue to display a high degree of collaboration, as demonstrated by the diversity of the
Oakland County Reentry Steering Team, and are ;lied th e statewide efforts of the
Michigan Youth Reentry Workgroup. The strategic plan for Oakland County exemplifies best
practices that have been proven successful locally and strives to serve as a model for other
counties in Michigan and nationally. Juvenile reentry services are emerging as a priority in
Michigan.
In October 2009, the Governor's Taskforce on Juvenile justice reinforced the investment
in youth reentry by funding the statewide Michigan Youth Reentry Workgroup. The
Workgroup, staffed by MCCD, is charged with developing a reentry framework for 85 youth,
assigned under Public Act 150 (state wards), returning to the community after residential
placement in a state-operated juvenile justice facility. The Workgroup is implementing a
strategic plan to roll out the 3-phase/ 7-point model in each state-operated facility as well as
reviewing policies and procedures to ensure an "exit upon entry" philosophy. The Workgroup in
Page 7 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
0I1DP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
partnership with the Children's Village Reentry Initiative will produce a Juvenile justice Reentry
Framework to serve as a guide for courts. counties and communities.
The Workgroup's Evaluation subcommittee identified Oakland County as its
demonstration evaluation site to measure success of reentering youth back to the community.
This evaluation process, however, will only track state wards (approximately 26 high risk youth).
The majority of youth in Michigan remains temporary court wards and never come to the
attention of the state. Continued funding will allow us to strengthen this initiative at the county
level focusing on temporary court wards, many of whom are placed at Children's Village and
Crossroads for Youth. Success of this initiative will provide a better understanding for how the
model can be expanded to also serve temporary court wards; adapted to fit the unique structures,
resources, and barriers at the county level; and be sustainably replicated in neighboring
jurisdictions, particularly the large urban areas of Genesee, Macomb, Wayne and Kent Counties,
Children's Village is a 244 bed facility that provides a safe, structured environment for
youth that includes secure detention, residential treatment and shelter care services. Facility
housing provides 82 secure detention beds (62/male and 20/female), 98 non-secure residential
treatment beds (60/male and 38/female), 20 secure treatment beds for males, and 44 shelter care
beds for neglected abused children and status offenders. Crossroads for Youth is a 130 bed
facility that provides a broad range of treatment services including residential treatment, day
treatment and supervised independent living. Treatment Programs for both facilities include peer
based, family oriented, individualized treatment planning. Daily living is structured and goal
oriented, focused on the strengthening of personal strengths and coping mechanisms in
preparation for the transition back home and into the community. It is our intention to further
strengthen our programs and service to youth and families by implementing a Reentry Program
Page 8 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
OJJDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
for Youth that begins to target a successful return home immediately upon admission to a
Children's Village or Crossroads for Youth residential treatment program.
A strategic plan for the development, implementation, and evaluation of this project has
been established by the Oakland County Executive Committee, with input from the statewide MI
Youth Reentry Workgroup. Oakland County acknowledges that reentry begins the first day a
youth arrives into residential placement, i.e. the Exit Upon Entry philosophy, thus the plan
incorporates the input of youth, families and service providers along every aspect of the
continuum. The strategic plan for youth reentry outlines key objectives to achieve the vision of
community safety through offender success.
Collaborative Case Management and Supervision (CCMS) plays a central role as a
strategic and coordinated use of resources at the case management level to enhance community
safety. It seeks to l'e(1,100 recidivism and relapse , encouraging offenders to be successful while
supporting the development of safer neighborhoods and better citizens. Case management
should be a dynamic, seamless process that commences at the time of disposition and continues
beyond discharge from the facility or community supervision until the youthful offender is
stabilized in his/her community. Additionally, the three phase model of integration used in this
reentry program incorporates services to be provided during the course of residential placement,
during the transition home, and continues after release from a residential setting.
A.) Phase I/ Starting the Process: in-Facility
Assessments of Needs and Risks for Youth
The case plan is characterized by an ongoing cycle of assessment, planning and review
that guides supervision, placement and reentry activities. At the point of intake, it is expected
that each child undergoes a series of assessments, including a comprehensive strengths and needs
Page 9 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
OJJDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
assessment, as well as an actuarial criminogenic risk assessment. designed to drive the case plan.
Children's Village and Crossroads have successfully incorporated a fourth generation
risk/needs assessment tool and data base system that identifies criminogenie risk and needs
factors. Program graduates who return to Oakland County are being tracked with this
assessment tool.
Evidence-informed programming is critical to ensuring that the eriminogenic risks that
impact recidivism are identified and addressed while in treatment. Treatment services provided
to youth residing at Children's Village and Crossroads for Youth are peer based and are family
oriented. Goals and objectives are individualized to meet the needs of each child and their
families. Services include family, individual, and peer group counseling sessions. Programs are
based on a graduated level system which allow for increased privileges and visits home as youth
achieve a range, of program goals and expectations. Psychiatric services are provided, as needed,
by a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist. The length of each youth's program varies based on
level of youth and family investment in program requirements and the achievement of
individualized goals and objectives. Estimated length of time required to complete a program is
6 — 9 months.
Six weeks prior to release, the youth will attend weekly group mentoring and individual
sessions while in the facility. These groups will address the child's return back to the community
and develop the first stage of treatment and employment plans prior to their release date. This
pre-release planning will be facilitated by System Navigators along with Children's Village/
Crossroads treatment staff and Court Probation Officers/Youth Assistance Youth and Family
Caseworkers.
B.) Phase 11/ Transition Begins: Release Preparation/Release Decision-making
Page 10 of I 6
Oakland County Children's Village
OJJDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
The transition phase is intended to begin 3 to 6 months prior to release. Upon review that
the Treatment Plan is coming to completion, the facility case manager will convene a Transition
Team meeting, a multi-disciplinary team composed of a Children's Village Case Coordinator,
Probation Officer, System Navigator, Youth Assistance Caseworkers, the youth and their
parents, to set post-release objectives and initiate service linkages. These transition plans include
the development of goals and objectives during the third level of a four level treatment program.
Such plans may address housing, education, employment, family relations, health/ mental health,
substance abuse, community supports, or other identified needs. The plan may also include a
component for mapping out a youth's social network and pro-social connections.
• This Reentry Program Initiative benefits from a partnership with Oakland Livingston
Human Services Agency (OLHSA) due to their level of experience and involvement. OLHSA
has already developed programs to assist individuals returning to the community after release
from either prison or jail. Services include group mentoring, employment services and supportive
services for the adjudicated youth and their family. Each juvenile returning to the community
will be supported by a Systems Navigator who will facilitate support services. This individual
will be the person who will ensure that necessary services are provided, a transition plan is
developed, and that all stakeholders are involved in all three phases of the reentry plan. These
services will involve assisting in developing the transition component of the treatment plan,
identifying community supports that match the youth's goals, facilitating re-enrollment for
entitlements and documentation, and following through with service linkages (including
contracting service providers as necessary).
During Transition Team meetings, the youth and his/ her parents meet the providers, have
appointments scheduled, services detailed, and provide inputinto the final plan. All elements of
Page 11 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
OJJDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
this plan are designed to ensure seamless services and transition.
C.) Phase III/ Community Investment-Aftercare Services
The aftercare phase is designed to ensure that the individual stays on track with the
programming that has been designed in the transition plan, and that he/she is successful in
returning to the community. The Probation Officer and Youth Assistance Caseworker will
continue to provide case management services for youth post-release for approximately six to
nine months, as court-ordered. Youth who are no longer under jurisdiction of the Court have the
option to continue to participate with a Systems Navigator for additional support/services. A
Systems Navigator will continue to work with the youth to ensure that all services detailed in the
transition plan developed prior to release from residential treatment, are provided.
Youth are tracked and assessed during the follow-up phase according to several common
indicators of achievement and through the completion of treatment plan goals. Systems
Navigators will monitor attainment of employment, mentoring attendance goal, and recidivism
data. This information will be obtained through numerous contacts via phone and personal
reporting. Incentives for continued participation are being offered. These may include gas cards
for the parents/individual, gift cards for food during participation in classes/training, and
assistance with basic needs such as job skill training, etc.
The youth and the parent are expected to attend eight weeks of group mentoring and
individual mentoring to help ensure a seamless entry back into the community. After the eight
weeks the youth's case will be transitioned into a follow up case management stage to monitor
ongoing progress.
Each of the major decision points for improved reentry under this model will involve
community input and collaboration such that the process is not viewed as "top down" and so that
Page 12 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
OJJDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
local expertise and experience is targeted at the ground level where service delivery must focus.
The Systems Navigators, in partnership with the Family Court Youth Assistance Caseworkers
function as the "point persons" to coordinate community input so that key local stakeholders
have enhanced capability to adjust their processes accordingly, provide communication to ensure
clarity and input, and ensure coordination and orientation to the community-based partners.
The Oakland County Executive Committee, including Children's Village, the Family
Division of the Oakland County Circuit Court, and Crossroads for Youth, the Michigan
Department of Human Services, and OLHSA will provide implementation planning in four key
areas: development, execution, monitoring, and evaluation. This team will assure that the
services in each of the three phases are being implemented according to the strategic plan. The
implementation plan reflects the movement of youth expected to leave Children's
Village/Crossroads for Youth over the next 1 2 months.
Program sustainabitity is being initiated with the elimination of two grant funded part
time Reentry Specialist positions. Duties and responsibilities of these positions will be combined
and assigned to an existing full time Children's Village Case Coordinator. The Case Coordinator
is a full time Children's Village employee who has become immersed in the Reentry Process and
has been trained in the criminogenie risk assessments as well as the comprehensive reentry
process. The assigned workload will be a natural balance of residential treatment service and
reentry initiatives. Additional movements toward sustainability of this initiative are the services
being rendered by existing Oakland County Youth Assistance; Youth and Family Caseworkers.
Youth Assistance (YA) is a program operated by the Circuit Court, Family Division. Youth and
Family caseworkers are available throughout Oakland County to work with youth and families
and to provide services that will prevent delinquency and reduce recidivism. Currently Youth
Page 13 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
OMBP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
and Family caseworkers are working collectively with grant funded positions and residential
treatment staff to provide Reentry service's to youth in Oakland County.
Capabilities/Competencies
Initially Reentry Program staff consisted of a full time Program Coordinator, three full
time Systems Navigators, and two part time Reentry Specialists. Continuation grant funding will
provide the same staffing with the exception of the two part time Reentry Specialists. Reentry
Specialists will be eliminated as discussed under Program Design/Implementation above.
Reentry staff are facilitators of the Reentry Process working closely with official court probation
officers, court Youth Assistance caseworkers, and facility case managers to provide services to
youth and their family members as they participate in reentry.
A criminogenic risk assessment is completed for each youth upon transfer from secure
detention to a residential treatment program. Needs assessment is also completed for each youth
when they enter detention. Both of these assessment tools provide a foundation for treatment
plan development as well as for transition planning. Data, as required in the performance
measures tool, is recorded for each youth in a database. This database was developed to capture
critical information that exceeds performance measures so that facility programming and other
internal services could be assessed and refined in accordance with the Reentry Process.
The primary purpose and goal of our Reentry Process continues to be to reduce
recidivism while increasing positive outcomes for the youth and their families. Ninety three
youth are currently participating in the Youth Reentry Process. Services currently provided to
youth and their families include basic computer skill training, soft and hard job skills training,
medical/dental care, substance abuse counseling, psychiatric care, food assistance, housing
assistance, utility assistance, and transportation assistance. The Oakland County Health Division
Page 14 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
0.1JDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
has partnered with us to provide in home health screening and assessment of the entire family
unit. A public health nurse begins working with family members while the youth continues in
residential treatment. Home visits are made and referrals/assistance is provided on a routine
basis. She has addressed needs such as personal hygiene, referrals for families to the furniture
bank in Oakland county, as well as providing education regarding specific health issues. Public
Health services continue in post release and include regular home visits. This is one of many
initiatives that have proven critical to families otherwise unable/unwilling to seek public health
assistance. Post release youth receive substance abuse/mental health services if needed from
Oakland Family Services, a state licensed outpatient program that uses evidenced based-best
practice programming. Additionally, post release youth participate weekly in a Job Club that is
facilitated by Jewish Vocational Services. Job Club provides soft skill employment training to
family members as well as to youth. Reentry process family support and assistance is
contributing significantly toward the strengthening of home environments with the goal of
returning youth to a stronger safer family system.
Extensive collaboration with community partners has proven invaluable in the
development of the program as well as in the expansion and refinement of existing services
within each agency and between agencies. Consequently, a significantly more comprehensive
system and continuum of care is being developed for youth involved in the juvenile justice
system within Oakland County, Michigan. Children's Village and Crossroads for Youth have
begun to collaborate on the development of a comprehensive juvenile offender system that
strengthens program initiatives within each facility. This is in contrast to an atmosphere of
promoting singular programming to the same population within the same county perimeter.
Juvenile offender programming is being developed within the framework of the Reentry Process
Page 15 of 16
Oakland County Children's Village
031JDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant Application
that provides least restrictive options in a continuum of care including but not restricted to;
community based services, day treatment services, independent/supervised independent living,
non-secure residential treatment services, as well as secure residential treatment services. This is
in contrast to a juvenile justice system where many facilities compete for the placement of youth.
Oakland County, who will serve as the fiduciary for this grant, is a county governmental
agency with a total budget of approximately $785 million, of which approximately $134 million
comes from more than sixty grants. An industry standard financial management system called
PeopleSoft is utilized. Each grant revenue and expenditure activity is tracked separately from
other funding sources. Standardized financial policies and procedures are issued by the Oakland
County Department of Management and Budget. The Fiscal Services Division is responsible for
the financial oversight of all grant funds used in Oakland County, with programmatic oversight
falling within the user departments.
In addition, Oakland County has a Grant Accounting Unit in its Department of
Management and Budget/Fiscal Services Division which monitors grant financial activity and
maintains the official records of revenues and expenditures. Oakland County's Auditing
Division conducts performance and financial audits of grant funded programs as well as
coordination of single audit activities conducted by contracted auditors.

RE: OJJDP FY 2011 Demonstration Programs Division Grant
Dear Mr. Murphy:
It has long been recognized that youth who are released from institutional confinement are more likely to
succeed if they have access to services that can help them thrive back in their community environment.
As the Director of the Oakland County Department of Health and Human Services, George Miller is
responsible for the overall operations at the Children's Village Youth Facility. Mr. Miller has been
researching best practices across the nation for over two years. Re-entry programs have proven to be
successful when accompanied with strong ties and partnerships in the community for the youth and their
families. Effective re-entry/aftercare programs begin before a'youth leaves the facility, and involve the
family and the community. In fact, re-entry planning efforts should start the day the youth enters the
facility. When high-quality re-entry and aftercare services are available, the overall cost of juvenile
corrections and recidivism are reduced.
This department has been collaborating on this effort with the Juvenile Court, Oakland Livingston Human
Services Agency, Michigan Council on Crime and Delinquency and is committed to working with
additional partners that are identified as we progress. Children's Village agrees to provide individual
criminal history information on all participants to evaluators, unless prohibited by law. These data will be
provided in response to periodic requests from the grantee and evaluator throughout the period of
performance of this project to capture both criminal history prior to the program enrollment and
subsequent recidivism.
This is an outstanding opportunity to continue the development and implementation of an effective re-
entry program for Oakland County that can ultimately be replicated across the state of Michigan for all
juvenile offenders.
Sincerely,
L. Brooks Patterson

Re: Second Chance Act — Oakland County Youth Reentry Initiative
Dear Mr. Murphy,
I am writing to express support for Oakland County Department of Health and Human Services
on its bid to continue its Second Chance Juvenile Offender Reentry Demonstration Project grant
MCCD welcomes the opportunity to participate and collaborate with Oakland County to advance
their youth reentry initiative.
Established in 1956, the Michigan Council on Crime and Delinquency (MCCD) is Michigan's
only statewide organi72tion dedicated to improving the effectiveness of policies and systems
aimed at the prevention and reduction of crime and delinquency. Our services remain outcome
focused, and we are dedicated to advancing research-based, prevention-focused systems. From
the beginning, we have collaborated closely with Oakland County decision makers and service
providers on evidence based program development.
From 2003 — 2011, MCCT) worked with the Michigan Department of Corrections (MnO),
Public Policy Associates, Inc. (PPA), the National Institute of Corrections, and other experts
from around the country in designing and implementing the Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Initiative
(MPRI). Because of MCCD' s long history of community organizing, we served as the liaison
between the state and local partners. In this capacity, MCCD helped organize 18 local MPR1
steering teams and hired a Community Coordinator to assist these 18 teams in implementing
MPRI, Oakland County was one of our first MPR1 sites, Through strong leadership, Oakland
County has demonstrated that returning prisoners can safely be reintegrated in the community.
Michigan Yoirth Reentry Initiative
In October 2009, MCCD partnered with MDHS Bureau of Juvenile Justice (BJJ) to adapt the
community-driven reentry model to serve youth in the three state-operated juvenile justice
facilities, as well as develop a framework to support the reentry needs of local juvenile justice
systems. The Michigan Youth ReEntry Initiative (MYR1) is built upon the three-phase, seven-
point model, with increased emphasis on family engagement and developmental needs of youth.
MCCD serves as a partner in developing and implementing the MYR1 work plan and is
documenting progress toward instituting the reentry framework into a sustainable feature of BJJ
policy and service delivery.
Oakland County Youth Reentry Initiative
In 2010, MCCD joined Oakland County's Youth Reentry Initiative to assist them in
implementing the three-phase, seven-point model in Children's Village and Crossroads for
Youth. MCCD currently provides training and technical assistance, strategic planning, and
recommendation development, and expects to continue in this role as Oakland further integrates
the youth reentry model into all aspects of their juvenile justice services. It is estimated that
MCCD's senior policy associate will allocate 30% of her time to advance these goals.
As a member of the planning team and taskforce, MCCD ensures that the voice of communities
is a driving factor in the design and implementation of the work plan. In November 2010,
MCCD trained over 100 Oakland County juvenile justice employees in the MYRI Model and
laid the groundwork for understanding the best way to adapt the Model to Oakland County's
needs, resources, and communities. The active involvement and collaboration of the courts,
service providers, families, and local stakeholders in Oakland County makes the implementation
of the proposed program possible.
As a leader in the field of reentry, the Michigan Council on Crime and Delinquency intends to
continue to extend support and technical assistance in order to advance reentry efforts at the local
level and replicate successful crime reduction techniques statewide. We look forward to the
opportunity to assist Oakland County in their effort to fully integrate youth reentry services into
the juvenile justice system.

Re: Second Chance Act Juvenile Offender Reentry Demonstration Projects
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to express support for Oakland County Department of Health and Human Services
on its renewal bid for a Second Chance Juvenile Offender Reentry Demonstration Project grant.
The Michigan Department of Human Services (MDHS) and its Bureau of Juvenile Justice (BJJ)
have developed a three-phase youth reentry framework known as the Michigan Youth Reentry
Initiative (MYRI). This framework consists of evidence-based best practices intended to reduce
recidivism through providing transition and aftercare services that support successful community
reintegration. The foundation for this model is based on the nationally recognized Michigan
Prisoner Reentry Initiative directed by the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC). BJJ
has worked in collaboration with the MDOC to develop youthful offender reentry practices in the
adult corrections system and MDOC serves as a critical partner in the Michigan Youth Reentry
Initiative. I oversee the planning, implementation and sustainability development of this project.
The MYR1 Workgroup includes a variety of stakeholders from MDHS, MDOC, state-operated
residential facilities, local courts, ?vIPRI community steering teams, and other key stakeholders.
Representatives from Oakland County have served on the MY.RI Workgoup since its inception.
Reciprocal participation with the Oakland Co. workgroup has occurred.
Through this collaboration, I have had the opportunity to observe and participate as Oakland
County has implemented its Second Chance Juvenile Offender Reentry Demonstration Project
grant. I have been impressed with the quality of the planning process, the speed and quality of
implementation of the assessment and reentry service delivery system and the county-wide
collaboration between the County Courts, the State Department of Human Services and the
Oakland County Department of Health and Human Services. It is my opinion that Oakland
County has used this opportunity aggressively and wisely to create systemic change that will
result in a significant reduction in recidivism for the youthful offenders it serves.
Oakland County and BJJ will continue to work in conjunction to refine assessment processes,
increase the use of evidence based treatment practices, and build capacity for the delivery of
necessary and appropriate youthful reentry services. We expect to establish data sharing
agreements, develop outcomes measurement processes, share knowledge and practices, build
capacity, and work together as policies and procedures are developed. This collaboration will be
an asset to all stakeholders involved. We look forward to the collaboration between all

viww.rnichigan,a0v • (734) 449-4422
stakeholders to create effective reentry models that can be replicated and sustained. We are
available to provide technical assistance and resources as needed.
In my opinion, the Oakland County Department of Health and Human Services has demonstrated
the ability and capacity to successfully develop and implement this reentry initiative. Continued
funding will lead to further development of an effective and comprehensive system of
delinquency prevention, treatment and rehabilitation that could serve as a national model. I
applaud the milestones that have been accomplished in the first year of this initiative and whole-
heartedly support continued growth and development of this system.

Re: Second Chance Act Juvenile Offender Reentry Demonstration Projects
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is written to express continued support for Oakland County Department of
Health and Human Services on its bid for a Second Chance Juvenile Offender Reentry
Demonstration Project grant.
This collaboration has created a sustainable, duplicable systems change. This change
in the way we conduct business is affording us the opportunity to empower our youth
and families as they exit the juvenile justice system, and provide them with the
necessary tools for continued success in their respective communities.
The Oakland County Circuit Court's Family Division is dedicated to this project,
committing staff from both the Casework (Juvenile Probation) Department and the
Youth Assistance Program to ensure its success. Both programs play extensive roles in
the Reentry process and work very closely with placement facility staff to address the
individual needs of both the youth and his or her family.
The Official Court Caseworkers (Probation Officers) attend all planning meetings at the
placement facility; assist the placement staff in gathering all necessary documentation;
help to ensure that all essential parties are in attendance at the planning meetings;
maintain the youth on their caseloads after discharge into the community; are
responsible for all official court actions; report regularly to the Judge or Referee
regarding the youth and family's progress; and maintain all court files.
The Youth Assistance Caseworkers are involved in the planning process for each youth
involved in the Reentry process. Youth Assistance becomes directly engaged just prior

to the youth's release from placement, and continues to monitor the case in the
community for a period deemed appropriate by the Reentry team. Youth Assistance
acts as the primary community liaison to ensure that the youth is engaged in school,
community service, employment, treatment and any other services deemed necessary
by the Reentry Team.
In addition to the above staff, administration (supervisors, chiefs, and managers) are
committed to the success of the program. They attend regular steering and advisory
board meetings; trainings and conferences; conduct regular meetings with line staff; and
provide statistical data to measure success and improve the prnt-_occ
The Family Division of the Oakland County Circuit Court strongly supports this
endeavor. The Reentry Initiative greatly benefits our youth and families, and ultimately,
the Oakland County community.

Dear Mr. Murphy:
This letter represents a letter of support from the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency
(MASA) for Oakland County's grant continuation application for Second Chance Act Adult and
Juvenile Offender Reentry Demonstration Projects for FY 2011.This grant focuses on the
provision of mentoring and supportive services to juveniles currently incarcerated who will be
returning to Oakland County, Michigan.
This project enables the county to develop and implement comprehensive and collaborative
strategies that address juvenile reentry and reduce recidivism. The project enhances the
transition of these individuals by providing mentoring and other supportive services to
participants. These services assist the individual in the reintegration into their family and the
communities, provides training geared toward addressing criminogenic needs, and reduces
recidivism.
The primary target population is those juveniles currently incarcerated in a local or state facility
who are returning to Oakland County after incarceration. The county connects individuals to
comprehensive programming that includes cognitive, behavioral, and social learning
techniques, resource provision, educational services, job training/placement, substance abuse,
housing, mental and physical health services, family reunification and mentoring.
The Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency partners With Oakland County in the
implementation of this needed reentry programming for juveniles returning to Oakland County.
OLHSA provides staff and programming for the provision of reentry services for juveniles and
their families with the ultimate goal to reduce recidivism and ease transition back into the
community. OLHSA administers reentry programming for all adults returning to the community
after incarceration in federal, state, and local correctional facilities. By partnering with Oakland
County in this endeavor we hope to continue to enhance the reentry services that Oakland
County offers to juveniles returning to the community ciftci ilit,a n c_es atiun. We look forward to
continuing to assist Oakland County in the provision of services for juveniles, including job
training and job placement services, health related services, and family reunification services.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Gingell:
Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs, Congress linked the receipt of Federal funding to
compliance with Federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (01P), U.S. Department of Justice
is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial aid from OJP, its component offices and bureaus, the Office on Violence Against
Women (OVW), and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) comply with applicable Federal civil rights statutes and
regulations. We at OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that conic with Justice
Department funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
As you know, Federal laws prohibit recipients of financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in respect to employment practices but also in the delivery of services or
benefits. Federal law also prohibits funded programs or activities from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or
benefits,
Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals
In accordance with Department of Justice Guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.C. § 2000d, recipients of
Federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited
English proficiency (LEP). For more information on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to
LEP individuals, please see the website at http://www.lep.gov .
Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations
The Department of Justice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to the funding of faith-based organizations. In general, the
regulation, Participation in Justice Department Programs by Religious Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment of all Justice
Department Program Participants, and known as the Equal Treatment Regulation 28 C,F.R. part 38, requires State Administering Agencies
to treat these organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits State Administering Agencies from making
award or grant administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the religious
composition of its board of directors.
The regulation also prohibits faith-based organizations from using financial assistance from the Department of Justice to fund inherently
religious activities. While faith-based organizations can engage in non-funded inherently religious activities, they must be held separately
from the Department of Justice funded program, and customers or beneficiaries cannot be compelled to participate in them. The Equal
Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the Department of Justice are not permitted to
discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the regulation, please see OCR's
wcbsite at http://www.ojp.usdoj_gov/ocrietfbo.htm.
State Administering Agencies and faith-based organizations should also note that the Safe Streets Act, as amended; the Victims of Crime
Act, as amended; and die Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, as amended, contain prohibitions against discrimination on the
basis of religion in employment. Despite these nondiscrimination provisions, the Justice Department has concluded that the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is reasonably construed, on a case-by-case basis, to require that its funding agencies permit faith-based
organizations applying for funding under the applicable program statutes both to receive D0.1 funds and to continue considering religion
when hiring staff, even if the statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids considering of religion in employment decisions
by grantees.
Questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit discrimination in employment may be directed to this
Office.
Enforcing Civil Rights Laws
All recipients of Federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of the grant award, or the number of
employees in the workforce, are subject to the prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly, OCR investigates recipients that
are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, OCR selects a
number of recipients each year for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal employment opportunity standards.
Complying with the Safe Streets Act or Program Requirements
In addition to these general prohibitions, an organization which is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination
provisions of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968,42 U.S.C. § 3789d(c), or other Federal grant
program requirements, must meet two additional requirements:( I) complying with Federal regulations pertaining to the development of an
Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP), 28 C.F.R. § 42.301-.308, and (2) submitting to OCR Findings of Discrimination (see 28
C.F.R. §§ 42.205(5) or 31.202(5)).
1) Meeting the EEOP Requirement
In accordance with Federal regulations, Assurance No. 6 in the Standard Assurances, COPS Assurance No. 8.B, or certain Federal grant
program requirements, your organization must comply with the following EEOP reporting requirements:
If your organization has received an award for $500,000 or more and has 50 or more employees (counting both full- and part-time
employees but excluding political appointees), then it has to prepare an EEOP and submit it to OCR for review within 60 days from the
date of this letter. For assistance in developing an EEOP, please consult OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocrIeeop.htm . You
may also request technical assistance from an FEOP specialist at OCR by dialing (202) 616-3208.
If your organization received an award between $25,000 and $500,000 and has 50 or more employees, your organization still has to prepare
an EEOP, but it does not have to submit the EEOP to OCR for review. Instead, your organization has to maintain the EEOP on file and
make it available for review on request. In addition, your organization has to complete Section B of the Certification Form and return it to
OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http://www.ojp.usdM.govioerleeop.htm .
If your organization received an award for less than $25,000; or if your organization has less than 50 employees, regardless of the amount of
the award; or if your organization is a medical institution, educational institution, nonprofit organization or Indian tribe, then your
organization is exempt from the EEOP requirement. However, your organization must complete Section A of the Certification Form and
return it to OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.goviocrieeop.htm .
2) Submitting Findings of Discrimination
In the event a Federal or State court or Federal or State administrative agency makes an adverse finding of discrimination against your
organization after a due process hearing, on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, your organization must submit a copy
of the finding to OCR for review.
Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients
If your organization makes subawards to other agencies, you are responsible for assuring that subrecipients also comply with all of the
applicable Federal civil rights laws, including the requirements pertaining to developing and submitting an EEOP, reporting Findings of
Discrimination, and providing language services to LEP persons. State agencies that make subawards must have in place standard grant
assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients.
If we can assist you in any way in fulfilling your civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of Federal funding, please call OCR at (202) 307-
0690 or visit our website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr7.
