In July 2005, legislation directed the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to administer the Juvenile Probation and Camps Funding (JPCF, formerly Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). CDCR entrusted the Corrections Standards Authority with the responsibility to allocate the funds. Counties use these funds for prevention and early intervention and custody programming at juvenile halls and camps.
In 2007-08, the Probation Department issued a Request for Proposals for JPCF programming to support a broad spectrum of probation services with at-risk youth and families. Four service providers were selected by the multidisciplinary selection committee: Cabrillo Unified School District, Pyramid Alternatives, Youth and Family Enrichment Services, and the YMCA of San Francisco Youth Services Bureau.
On January 13, 2009, the County Manager’s Office approved Agreements in the amount of $50,000 for each of the organizations for the term of July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 while the State budget was pending. On April 13, 2009, the County Manager’s Office approved Agreements in the amount of $100,000 for each of the organizations for a new term of January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. On August 25, 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendments to the Agreements in the amount of $181,204 for Pyramid Alternatives, $287459 for Youth and Family Enrichment Services, and $253,139 for the YMCA of San Francisco Youth Services Bureau.

These Amendments would extend the term of the Agreements for an additional year and add funding to continue services. (Cabrillo Unified School District is not continuing services.)
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Amendments and Resolution as to form and content.
Approval of the Agreements contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by preventing youth from becoming involved in criminal activity and by helping to strengthen families.

The term of these Agreements is July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2011. The total Amendment obligation is $130,544 for Pyramid Alternatives, $172,424 for Youth and Family Enrichment Services, and $158,897 for the YMCA of San Francisco Youth Services Bureau. The new totals for the Agreements are $461,748 for Pyramid Alternatives, $609,883 for Youth and Family Enrichment Services, and $562,036 for the YMCA of San Francisco Youth Services Bureau. These Agreements are 100% funded by JPCF. Funds have been included in the FY 2010-11 tentatively adopted budget. There is no Net County Cost.
