Page 2 FY 2024 MDCGP SCAO Grant Program Adult or juvenile drug court programs seeking either operational or planning funds will be completing the same application. Program Description - Operational Michigan Drug Court Grant Program (MDCGP) grants are limited to jurisdictions that have completed a planning phase of their drug treatment court program and are seeking funds for the first year of operation or the continued operation of their program. A drug treatment court is classified as adult drug, DWI, hybrid, or family treatment court, juvenile drug court or a regional program. The funding should enable drug treatment courts to promote public safety and contribute to a reduction in substance abuse and recidivism among nonviolent adult substance abusing offenders; reduce reliance on incarceration within existing correctional systems and local jails; and establish monitoring and evaluation measures that will demonstrate the effectiveness of the program. Regional drug treatment courts are distinguished from other drug treatment courts by the number of distinct jurisdictions participating in a single joint program. Below are examples of regional court designs: • Two or more circuit courts participating in a single regional drug treatment court. • Two or more district courts from different counties participating in a single regional drug treatment court. • One or more district courts and one or more circuit courts, from different counties, participating in a single regional drug treatment court. • Two or more district courts from the same county participating in a single regional drug treatment court. Regional drug treatment courts receive one grant award and one contract, have one coordinator that oversees the entire region, and have one program design that is applicable to all participants in the regional program, even if the regional program has multiple court locations. The program must have one joint local administrative order (LAO) covering all participating courts in the regional program and one memorandum of understanding (MOU) covering all participating organizations. Data collection and grant reporting should reflect the program as a whole, rather than reflecting separate locations of the program. Hence, one set of grant reports should be submitted for the regional drug treatment court and one set of data should be submitted to the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO). Program Description - Planning Planning grants are for jurisdictions that are interested in establishing a new drug treatment court and are in the early stages of planning that effort. A drug treatment court is classified as adult drug, DWI, hybrid (drug and DWI), family treatment court, juvenile drug court, or a regional program. Planning grants are limited in scope and will not necessarily lead to subsequent state or federal funding to implement the programs that result from the planning phase. The outcome of the planning process, however, should enable grantees to develop a sufficient needs assessment and cost analysis to justify a request to local, state, or federal funding sources. It is important to review the state and federal guidelines for data collection and evaluation criteria in planning the drug treatment court as these issues would need to be addressed in order to pursue state or federal funding for implementation of the program. Funding Source Page 3 FY 2024 MDCGP SCAO Grant Program This grant is funded by the SCAO. Application Submission Information Michigan trial courts may submit one application per funding opportunity per year.

Costs must be allowable as stated above, and they must be reasonable and necessary. All grant costs and billings will be reviewed by the SCAO to ensure that they reflect costs generally recognized as ordinary and necessary for the operation of the problem-solving court and reflect market prices for comparable goods or services. Additionally, the grant expenditures must be for goods and services that are or will be utilized for the grant period or fiscal year (October 1 to September 30). Billing for goods and services that could not reasonably be used up prior to September 30 (e.g., bus tokens, library materials, drug testing supplies purchased on September 24) will be denied for reimbursement.

If the rate will exceed $650 for an eight-hour day, written approval is required from the SCAO in advance. Compensation for individual consultant services is to be responsible and consistent with that paid for similar services in the market place. SUBRECIPIENTS To determine whether a service agency or provider is a subrecipient or contractor, the below criteria is listed to aid in the decision. However, it is the substance of the relationship that is more important than the form of agreement. All criteria listed below may not be present in all cases, therefore, the program must use judgment in classifying each agreement as a subrecipient or Page 7 FY 2024 MDCGP SCAO Grant Program contractor. Programs should document the process for determining each agency or provider as a subrecipient or contractor for audit purposes. Subrecipient contracts are required to be uploaded in the “Subrecipient Subcontract” link on the Grant Component page in WebGrants. Templates for contracts can be found in the same link as the subrecipient subcontract. Subrecipient: • Definition o Is an agency/person who receives a subaward o Has their performance measured in relation to whether the grant objectives were met o Has responsibility for determining program operations o Adheres to grant requirements specified in contract o Uses funds to carry out program objectives for a public purpose as specified by statute, as opposed to providing goods and services • Requirements o Program enters into a contract with the subrecipient that includes at least all items included in the program’s SCAO contract for the grant funds, and upload a copy of the signed contract in WebGrants. o Ensure that subrecipients are adhering to the assurances o Submit agency payroll documents, general ledger, paycheck stubs, proof of payment, and timesheets (if time is split with another funding source) with claims o Agency has to submit a budget to the court that must be incorporated into the program’s budget to the SCAO. The budget must include:  Pay rates  Annual hours  Fringe  Paid time off information  Pay bonuses, longevity, etc.  Supplies  Travel Contractor: • Definition o Provides good and services within normal business operations o Provides similar goods and services to many different purchasers o Normally operates in a competitive environment o Is not subject to adhere to grant requirements, though similar requirements may apply for other reasons. TRAVEL EXPENSES Travel expenses may not exceed the state rate, or your program’s county rate, whichever is the lesser expense. The state mileage rate includes premium rate for roundtrip less than 100 miles and standard rate for roundtrip more than 100 miles. Page 8 FY 2024 MDCGP SCAO Grant Program NONSUPPLANTING The SCAO requires that funds not be used to supplant state, local, or tribal funds. The grantee must assure that funds will not be used to replace or supplant state, local, or tribal funds, but will be used to increase the amount of such funds that would, in the absence of grant funds, be made available for criminal justice activities. This means that if your court plans to: • Hire new positions (including filling existing vacancies that are no longer funded in your agency’s budget), it must hire these additional positions on or after the official grant award start date, above its current budgeted (funded) level of positions. • Rehire personnel who have already been laid off (at time of the application) as a result of state, local, or tribal budget cuts. It must rehire the personnel on or after the official grant award start date and maintain documentation showing the dates(s) that the positions were laid off and rehired. • Maintain personnel who are (at the time of application) currently scheduled to be laid off on a future date as a result of state, local, or tribal budget cuts. It must continue to fund the personnel with its own funds from the grant award start date until the date of the scheduled layoff (e.g., if the layoff is scheduled for October 1, then funds may not be used to fund the personnel until October 1, the date of the scheduled layoff), and maintain documentation showing the date(s) and reason(s) for the layoff. Please note that as long as your agency can document the date that the layoff would occur if the grant funds were not available, it may transfer the personnel to the grant funding on or immediately after the date of the layoff without formally completing the administrative steps associated with a layoff for personnel. Documentation that may be used to prove that the scheduled layoffs are occurring for local economic reasons that are unrelated to the availability of grant funds may include (but are not limited to) council or departmental meetings, memoranda, notices, or orders discussing the layoff, notices provided to the individual personnel regarding the date(s) of the layoff, and/or budget documents ordering departmental and/or jurisdiction-wide budget cuts. These records must be maintained with your court’s grant in the event of an audit, monitoring, or other evaluation of your grant compliance. ASSURANCES These assurances are applicable to the grantee and all subrecipients of the grantee. It is the grantee’s responsibility to ensure that subrecipients are adhering to the assurances. Failure to do so may result in termination of grant funding or other remedies. 1.

Program OperationsProgram Operations Is the program applying for planning or operational funds? *: Operational Funds How many years has the program been operational? : 11 When does your program plan to begin accepting participants? : What is the program's capacity? :30 What is the current number of active participants? : 14 Does the program accept transfers? :Yes Provide a description of your program as it relates to project goals and funding needs: The 52-1 District Court Drug Court Program’s objective is to reduce recidivism within the drug abusing population by providing intensive treatment intervention and supervision to foster each participant’s individual recovery needs. Recovery for most participants takes a minimum of 12 months of sobriety before the participant begins the healing process, undoing the damage done to their mental health and bodies from active addiction. Our program provides guidance, support, and resources in the early stages of recovery through different treatment modalities, drug and alcohol testing, and intensive monitoring. The early stages are generally difficult for participants to navigate, and therefore, the stress from one’s treatment plan and physical changes can be overwhelming. With the program’s supportive components combined with the duties of each Treatment Court Team Member, the Drug Court Program strives to provide what is necessary to allow each participant to build a strong foundation for long term 3 of 15 recovery. The funding our program receives provides the opportunity to fund our Drug Court Probation Officer which is an extremely important component. The Drug Court Probation Officer not only provides the necessary resources to the participant and supervises their progress, but also provides stability in what is typically a very chaotic time in their life. We discovered in the early years of the Drug Court Program that switching probation officers each fiscal year was a disservice to the participants as it did not allow them to establish a nurturing and trusting relationship with the officer. While the continuity of the Drug Court Probation Officer has been instrumental in the program’s success, it has also required a continuous increase request for funding each fiscal year. Due to the increases in base salary and fringe benefits for the Drug Court Probation Officer, we have had to significantly decrease, and in some cases remove completely, line items for services directly designed to assist the participant such as assistance in drug and alcohol testing, electronic monitoring devices, and interlock devices. For FY 2025, we are asking for enough funding to reinstate these line items to their fullest in order to offer additional financial and emotional support to our participants, which in turn, leads to better program outcomes. Did your program receive SCAO- administered grant funds in the current fiscal year?: Yes Please select all of the grant programs which funded this program in the current fiscal year. : MMHCGP What was the total amount of SCAO- administered grant funds the program was awarded in the current fiscal year?: $110,000.00 Will the program likely expend all of its grant award during the current fiscal year? : Yes What are the reasons that the program will likely not spend the entire grant award during the current fiscal year? : Have any of the service(s) and/or good(s) rates increased from the current fiscal year? (e.g. coordinator pay increased from $23/hr to(e.g. coordinator pay increased from $23/hr to $24.50/hr, drug tests increased from $12 to $15)$24.50/hr, drug tests increased from $12 to $15) : Yes List the service(s) and/or good(s), the current fiscal year rate, and the new rate.: In FY 2024, the salary expenses were budgeted at $74,000 while benefits were at $34,000. Based on current projections for FY 2025, the salary line item is expected to increase to $80,112.24 while benefits increase to $44,336.10. The costing information are approximations as the Drug Court Probation Officer may be eligible for increases during the fiscal year. In past fiscal years, we have been able to utilize grant funds to assist participants with the cost of drug and alcohol testing for a set period of time through a contractor, Drop Zone. In previous years, the costs of these tests were set at $8 per day for no more than 60 days; however, in February 2024, the testing panel was expanded to test for additional substances to ensure complete compliance. The addition of these substances increased the cost of one drug test to $10.00. Each fiscal year, funds are requested to cover the overtime of an Oakland County Sheriff’s Deputy to assist the Drug Court Probation Officer in conducting home visits for participants. Though we have had to remove the line item in past years due to a lack of funding, we continue to make the request as random home visits are not only a standard component of the Drug Court Program, but also a critical component to the accountability of the participant and the program’s overall success. The cost of a DII/Patrol Deputy is not to exceed $84.00 per hour compared to the previous fiscal year, not to exceed $80.00 per hour. 4 of 15 Aside from increases covered above, are you requesting more grant funds in this application than the program was awarded during the current fiscal year?: Yes Please explain why more funds are being requested. (e.g. (e.g. program expansion, increase in services, orprogram expansion, increase in services, or operational adjustments)operational adjustments) : The cost to supplement our Drug Court officer position has increased over the years, which has adversely affected our ability to provide services to our participants. For FY 2023 & FY 2024, reallocation requests were submitted as the original award was less than what was needed to just cover the Drug Court Officer’s salary and benefits. Fortunately our reallocation requests were granted, which also allowed us to provide supplemental services and support to our participants, however, that was only available for the last few months of the fiscal year. We want to make sure that our program not only survives, but can also progress. Therefore, we are requesting funds to provide services that were not readily available to participants in past years, such as offsetting costs for our participants towards drug and alcohol testing fees, electronic monitoring and interlock devices, deputy assistance for home visits, graduation, office, and testing supplies, and gift cards/incentives. Additionally, with the projected cost of living and merit increases, the personnel expenses for the Drug Court Probation Officer will increase. We feel that with the additional funding request, we will not only be able to provide a stable program for our participants, but one that thrives and provides all the necessary support and tools for their journey towards recovery.

Personnel: O ur D rug C ourt participants require very intense supervision and monitoring. In the initial phase of the program, participants will present for twice weekly appointments with their probation officer, twice monthly review hearings with the treatment team, which includes their sentencing judge, and monthly visits at the participants home during an unannounc ed search. P articipants will gradually progress to weekly and eventually bi-weekly appointments with their probation officer and monthly review hearings with the treatment team toward the end of their program participation, whic h is a minimum of 18 months total in program duration. C aseloads for the drug court officer should not exceed 30 participants as the high risk & high needs of the participants require intensive supervision and availability. In order to provide direct and specialized service to individuals with a drug addiction, the full time D rug C ourt probation officer would continue to be solely responsible for the D rug C ourt clients. T his offic er is minimally required to attend Training and Networking programs put on through the State C ourt Administrative O ffice, and partic ipate in other trainings pertinent to this program s uc h as the yearly MAT C P C onference. Further, due to the need for constant evaluation of this program, the D rug C ourt probation officer is ensuring adequate information is input into D C C MIS and will evaluate program progress and outcome on a routine basis. T he D rug C ourt offic er is also responsible for assisting with preparation and monitoring compliance with grants.

Additionally, this personnel cost is being charged to the grant in order to maintain operations of the program. W hile our county can support some of the cost associated with this position, they cannot assume all costs. W ithout grant funds, downsizing would occur in both personnel and in the program operations. C hristina Mastrangelo: S enior P robation O fficer, F T E (40 hours per week), 40 hours per week will be spent working on the grant, this position is supported 100% by the grant funds, the average hourly rate will not exceed $40/ hour and will average $38.52/ hour through F Y 2025 (this average includes estimated rate increases the employee may be eligible for during the grant year). Total of $80,112.24 for Fiscal Year 2025. Approximately $38.5155 per hour x 2080 hours = $80,112.24 District Court Clerk/ Data Entry: W e are requesting funds to allocate towards a part time position titled D istrict C ourt C lerk, which would be utilized to conduct data entry and act as support s taff for the four treatment court programs offered at 52-1 D istrict C ourt. After reviewing the information provided through the S tate C ourt Administrative O ffice S ite Visits for certification, and evaluating the needs of our programs, it has become apparent that our program s have grown to a point where it has become difficult for the corresponding teams to sufficiently address these cleric al requirements without reallocating time from our participants. D ata entry into the D rug C ourt C ase Management Information S ystem (D C C MIS) has been the responsibility of each individual treatment court probation officer in addition to case management and supervision throughout their programs. As a result, this data entry is conducted when time allows, which is limited as we feel our participants should take priority. As a result, this data entry is conducted on a monthly basis ins tead of daily to weekly as it should. Immediate data entry ensures accuracy and completeness, whic h is necessary for evaluating our program as required per B est P ractices. This was reflected by our S ite Visits, in the C ertification C orrection Forms which highlighted a number of data entry issues that were missing and needed to be corrected. As a result, we believe a data entry position has become a necessary component for our program going forward. B ased on the information above, we would like to utilize grant funds to provide fully funded, part-time clerical support for all treatm ent court programs. In addition to data entry for D C C MIS, the C ourt C lerk would provide assistance with data entry in D istrict C ourt Probation S ystem as it relates to program compliance, and would assist in scheduling appointments and review hearings, and perform other clerical functions as it relates to the treatment court programs. Additionally, the C ourt C lerk would as s ist court staff in c reating and maintaining treatment court files and assist judicial staff in s c heduling and managing monthly review hearings for each treatment c ourt. Last, the C ourt C lerk would assist in the discharge process from both D C C MIS and D C P S , and would ensure that upon both s uc c es s ful and unsuccessful completion of a treatment court program, all records are stored and/or destroyed per SCAO Best Practice requirements. This position will be part-time and at a not to exceed rate of $22 per hour. W hen factoring in full time employee performance of 2080 hours of work in a calendar/fiscal year, this position would be capped at 1040 hours with hours distributed between the 52-1 District Court Sobriety Court P rogram, the 52-1 D istrict C ourt D rug C ourt P rogram, the 52-1 D istrict C ourt Veteran’s C ourt P rogram, and the 52nd D istrict C ourt Mental Health Court Program. Due to the current number of participants in each program, we intended to distribute the hours in the following manner: DW I Sobriety Court: 600 hours per fiscal year (600 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $13,200) Drug Treatment Court: 200 hours per fiscal year (200 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $4,400) Mental Health Court: 140 hours per fiscal year (140 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $3,080) Veteran’s Treatment Court: 100 hours per fiscal year (100 hours x Not to Exceed $22/ hour = $2,200) Total hours per fiscal year would be 1040 hours @ a not to exceed rate of $22/ hour. 10 of 15 Therefore requested funding for this position would be $22,880 with $4,400 of this assigned to the Drug Treatment Court.

Alcohol/ Drug Testing: In pas t grant years, we have been able to utiliz e grant funds to assist participants with the costs of their drug and alcohol testing. T he trans ition from active addiction to a treatment c ourt program is extremely difficult for new participants, as many of them are unemployed and lack a pos itive s upport s ystem at home. P articipation in this program is completely voluntary, which is typically an indication of their desire to obtain recovery. There are many factors that may deter individuals from entering or being successful in a treatment court program; however as indicated by past participant surveys, the financial burden and stress are significant areas of concern. All new participants in the program are required to submit to daily drug and alcohol testing for at least the first 90 days, which often adds to their already high levels of stress and financial concerns. The daily tes ting during the initial phase of the program is based on feedback from participants that reported it keeps them ‘focused on not using’ and that every day they tested negative was a source of pride and m eas ure of success. W e are seeking funding to provide assistance with drug and alcohol monitoring during the first 60 days in the program through a contractor, D rop Zone. This will provide the participant ample time to concentrate on their sobriety, find employment and build their support system without the increased stress and financial burden of the cost of testing.

D rop Zone utilizes a s pec ialized pbt s traw that has a built in screen designed to filter out airborne virus’s and partials, including the C O VID -19 virus. T his filter provides both the tester and participant a safer and healthier testing environm ent, which is especially beneficial considering the continued concerns regarding COVID-19 variants. F Y 2025 we estimate 12 new participants will enter the program, which is projected based on at the time this applic ation was prepared, our program accepted 6 new participants in the first 6 months of F Y 2024. Assuming the average of 1 new participant per month continues, we would enter 12 new partic ipants for the current fiscal year. T his estimation is furhter s upported by the fact that when reviewing the pas t 4 fiscal years, we have averaged 13 new participants so feel assuming 12 new participants will enter is a fair estimate. T herefore, we would estimate 12 new participants will enter in FY 2025 and would like to fund each of these 12 for their drug / alcohol testing expenses for the first 60 days. D rop Zone Testing: This agency will provide observed 12 panel urine drug screens and preliminary breath tests to participants during their initial 60 days of program participation. This agency will provide confirmation testing on disputed tests, but the participant would be responsible for those service/ confirmation fees. Calculation: ($10 per test x 60 days) x 12 participants = $7,200. After the first 60 days of testing is completed, the participant will be responsible for the remainder of their testing in the treatment program. Oakland County Sheriff Deputy Overtime/ Home Visits: The D rug C ourt Program is requesting funds to allocate and assis t in the ability to conduct home visits on participants. Home Visits are an essential element of the D rug C ourt procedures and are critical to the participant and program’s success. T he 52-1 D istrict C ourt enc ompasses 6 separate police agencies and 3 substations for the C ounty S heriff’s D epartment. S ome of the agencies only have 2-3 police offic ers on the road at any given time. R eques ting those agenc ies pull an offic er off the road from patrol to assist with home vis its creates not only a hardship within the department, but also the potential of reducing community safety during that tim e. Therefore, we are requesting approximately 10 hours of overtime for a D -II/ Patrol D eputy to conduct home visits on a monthly basis for the entire 12 month period of F Y 2025. The actual per hour overtime cost for a D -II/ P atrol D eputy is unknown at this time, but based on past Fiscal Years, we are projecting this at a not to exceed $83 per hour c os t. T his figure is calculated taking the known F Y 2024 amount of $79.38 per hour and factoring in a 5% cost of living increase to come up with a value of $83.35 per hour. DII/ Patrol Deputy: $84.00 hourly rate x approximately 10 hours of home visits per month x 12 months = $10,080. Electronic Monitoring Devices/ Interlocks/ Tethers: Portable alcohol monitoring systems, ignition interlock systems and tethers are often a necessary component of the Drug Court program for participants with polysubstance use disorders. Despite the program’s classification as a “drug” court, we do have many participants that come into the program on an alcohol, or drug and alcohol, related conviction. With the driving related alcohol convictions, Ignition Interlock Units are required per program guidelines, and in some instances, mandatory under Secretary of State restrictions. Unfortunately, many participants enter the program unemployed and cannot afford the Ignition Interlock immediately upon entry. Without an Ignition Interlock, the participant cannot drive a motor vehicle which hinders their ability to appear for random testing and find employment. Portable Alcohol Monitoring systems, including tethers, play a large part in the compliance of a participant who does not have a vehicle and/or license. Whether they are in the beginning phases of the program where testing is much more frequent, or simply need increased alcohol monitoring throughout the 18-month program, the use of alcohol monitoring systems can ensure a participant is properly supervised based on their polysubstance use. For participants that are fortunate enough to have a valid driver ’s license, funding a month of interlock expenses is not only a benefit to them financially, but also ensures the participant is compliant with their daily testing requirement. The same is especially true for those participants who do not have a valid driver ’s license, have very unreliable transportation options, and are still required to submit to random testing as a condition of the program. Temporary financial assistance would aid in allowing the participant to work on obtaining a restricted and/or full license and reliable transportation before taking on the monthly payment. 12 of 15 The companies that we would use for these services are as follows: E lectronic Monitoring S ervic es , House Arrest S ervic es , Home C onfinement, Nationwide, S mart S tart & Total C ourt Services. B ased on agreements we have with these agencies, they have offered their services at a not to exceed $75 enrollment expense and not to exceed $10 per day expense for any of their monitoring devic es . refore, we are asking for funds to cover enrollment expenses not to exceed $75 for each of the projected 12 participants as well as the daily costs of the various E lectronic Monitoring/Interlock devices at a not to exceed $10 per day cost over a 30 day time frame. We would like to be able to fund these 12 participants for 3 months each during FY 2025. C alculation: E nrollment $75 + ((30 days funded at $10/ day) = $300 x 3 months of funding = $900)). Therefore $75 + $900 = $975/ partic ipant x 12 participants = $11,700 CR N A: We are requesting funding to be able to purchase what are called “us es ” through our C riminogenic R is k/Needs Assessment (C R NA) tool, the L S -C MI. In F Y 2024, we moved to the LS -C MI as a way to properly identify treatment court participants that were high risk and/or high needs to ensure that we are accepting only those individuals that qualify for treatment court services. After much discussion and investigation we settled on the LS -C MI, however, the way their software is set up, each time we add a participant to obtain their validated risk/needs assessment score, there is a cost, which Multi Health S ys tems (MHS ), the parent com pany that manufactures the L S -C MI, calls “uses”. E ach “use” costs $12.75. F or F Y 2024, we were able to utilize grant funds to purc has e the training, s oftware and “uses”, which we are requesting to be able to do again. W hile at this point we do not foresee any additional training necessary for our D rug Treatment C ourt O fficer, we will need to purchase additional “uses” for eac h potential D rug C ourt participant. In F Y 2024, we have identified roughly 15 individuals coming through our court that we believed could possibly qualify for D rug Treatment C ourt, out of thos e 15, only 10 we deemed high risk and/or high needs based on the tool we were previously us ing and out of thos e 10 possible participants, only 5 have currently entered the program. However, as s es s ments are required on all pos s ible participants to be able to distinguish if treatment court time and resources are appropriate. C ons idering we conducted early screening on 15 individuals with only 10 being identified as qualified, we anticipate needing roughly 20 “us es ” for F Y 2025. Therefore we are requesting $255 to purchase 20 “uses” for the LS-CMI. Calculation: $12.75/ per use x 20 possible participants = $255.

Incentives: Our program is requesting funds to purchase gift cards as a incentives for positive compliance. Positive reinforcement has proven to be extremely useful in encouraging each participant to maintain long-term recovery. Not only have incentives been extremely helpful in the early phases as a means of encouragement but have also helped many participants with their basic needs throughout their entire time in the program. Therefore, we would as k to be able to purchase gift cards , at a not to exceed value of $20 per card, to help encourage positive reinforcement and assistance. O ur program has routinely maintained at minimum a population of 15 participants and generally 80% (12 participants) of our population attend their monthly to bi-m onthly review hearings in c ompliance status.

Factor that over 12 months would then equal $2,880 in incentives. Incentives: Calculation (12 gift cards per month x $20/ gift card) = $240 x 12 months = $2,880 for Incentives. Graduation Gifts: Additionally, each participant that successfully completes the entire program will receive a graduation gift at their graduation ceremony. O ur program has averaged 5 graduates over the past 4 graduation ceremonies which we schedule twice per Fis c al Year. Therefore, we project 10 graduates in Fiscal Year FY 2025. Graduation Gifts: Calculation (Projecting 5 graduates x $20 per gift) = $100 x 2 graduations = $200 Participant Supplies: O ur program is asking for funds so we can provide partic ipants, upon entry into the program, with a welcome packet which contains a folder or binder, motivational notebook/ reflection journal, calendar and possibly a writing utens il. D ue to the fact that participants are usually disorganized upon entering our program, thes e materials afford the participant a way to begin to put s tructure into their lives. They also provide organization and accountability to an otherwise chaotic life. A preliminary search s hows that we can effectively obtain all items for approximately $20 per participant. Based on current projections, considering we have entered 6 new participants in the first 6 months of F Y 2024, estimating this frequency continues of 1 new partic ipant per month in F Y 2025 for a total of 12 new participants. B y searching the O ffice D epot, which is the primary offic e supply vendor for O akland C ounty P urchasing, we found the following: A pac k of 12 Three R ing O ne inc h Binders would be approximately $25 (roughly $2/ partic ipant). A pac k of 6 W irebound Notebooks, 3-Hole P unched, 8" x 10 1/2", 1 S ubject, C ollege R uled, 70 S heets, Assorted C olors, is roughly $15 (approximately $2.50/ participant). F urther, obtaining a day P lanner (calendar) for each participant is estimated at $15 each. As a result, projections for these supplies would be approximately $19.50 per participant, therefore we would ask to be allotted a not to exceed $20 per participant to obtain additional supplies. Calculation: 12 participants x $20/ participant in welcome supplies = $240.
