Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Project Background
Needs Addressed by Project
The City of Bakersfield identified considerable needs among justice-impacted individuals in Kern County, particularly those experiencing homelessness compounded by mental health issues, substance use disorders or both. Individuals recently paroled often encounter barriers that elevate their risk of homelessness and recidivism. Additionally, due to unmet complex needs, chronically homeless, justice-impacted individuals frequently interact with emergency services, and place significant strain on non-emergency law enforcement functions, code enforcement efforts, and other public service systems. To address these challenges, there is a critical need for targeted, supportive interventions that provide stability and promote long-term self-sufficiency.

Services
Through this BSCC-funded Proposition 47 (Prop 47) Project, Bakersfield will implement comprehensive intensive case management services structured around three main objectives. First, warm handoff and reentry services will support reintegration of recently paroled individuals by integrating housing stability, mental health care, and employment assistance to reduce their likelihood of becoming homeless or reoffending.

These services employ strengths-based case management strategies to immediately address post-release needs and foster ongoing stability, moving away from punitive measures.

Second, the City will enhance existing supportive services through intensive, personalized case management for chronically homeless individuals who frequently interact with both emergency and non-emergency public assistance. This intensive case management model will be multi-faceted, providing tailored support for housing stability, employment access, and mental health care, delivered via a highly personalized and interactive approach.
- 2 -
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Finally, adhering to the Housing First model, Bakersfield will prioritize securing stable housing for justice-impacted individuals. This includes dedicated housing navigation services designed to assist individuals in transitioning to bridge, temporary or permanent housing arrangements. Additionally, the Project will increase temporary housing availability by leveraging 15 beds at the Brundage Lane Navigation Center, further supporting safe and stable transitions to permanent housing solutions.

Scope of the Project
The Prop 4 7 Homeless Services and Prevention Initiative (HSPI) will be funded from 2025 to 2028 with a total budget of $1,999,374.00 during this period. The Project provides a comprehensive set of services aimed at addressing homelessness and supporting justiceimpacted individuals in Kern County. These services encompass intensive case management inclusive of employment assistance, behavioral health and substance use treatment, housing navigation, and temporary housing solutions. The scope specifically includes tailored interventions to stabilize housing, facilitate employment readiness, and ensure continuity of care through coordinated partnerships with specialized service providers and local agencies.

The Project's structure involves active case management delivered in two distinct participant categories over a two-year period. During the first year, participants receive intensive, individualized case management services, transitioning to periodic care in the second year. Category 1 includes high-acuity, actively homeless individuals receiving intensive services and who frequently come into contact with law enforcement. Category 2 serves those at significant risk of homelessness upon their release from incarceration.

Services for Category 2 participants are subcontracted to Garden Pathways, whereas Category 1 participants receive support from the Psychiatric Wellness Center. The Project also incorporates oversight and input from a Local Advisory Committee, comprised of members of the Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative (BKRHC), the City's - 3 -
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Referral Network, and community representatives. This Committee reflects a broad crosssection of the community, including individuals with lived experience of homelessness and justice involvement, as well as representatives from faith-based organizations, education, behavioral health, law enforcement, code enforcement, and outreach services. Members of the BKRHC were actively consulted during the development of the Project to ensure alignment with regional priorities and best practices. Additionally, the Local Advisory Committee reviewed and formally approved this Local Evaluation Plan, ensuring that the evaluation framework reflects community priorities and programmatic goals.

Services will be provided to Category 2 clients by two full-time case managers, each managing up to 35 clients with active case management for 12 months, followed by another year of periodic after-care. Additionally, a half-time case manager will support lower-need individuals and manage after-care.

Three additional full-time case managers will provide intensive case management to Category 1 clients with smaller caseloads of around 15 each, for approximately 12 months based on client progress. Afterward, clients will have 12 months of after-care follow-up with periodic contact. Clients will have immediate initial contact and an in-person meeting within 48 hours.

In both cases, case managers will create Individualized Service Plans defining personal goals, outlining the individual's unique needs and identifying the appropriate supportive services to address those needs. Individualized Service Plans will be regularly updated based on client progress, with consistent communication throughout the service period.

Target Population
The Project specifically targets justice-impacted individuals in Kern County who are experiencing homelessness or are at imminent risk of becoming homeless. This population primarily includes individuals recently released from incarceration who have behavioral - 4 -
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 health concerns, substance use disorders, or co-occurring disorders, and high-acuity individuals who are actively homeless and frequently engage emergency and community resources. By focusing on these groups, the Project seeks to reduce recidivism, promote stability, and enhance quality of life.

Goals and Objectives
The overall purpose of the Project is to significantly reduce homelessness and recidivism among justice-impacted individuals in Kern County. The program aims to offer structured, intensive, and personalized support through comprehensive case management, targeted employment and housing assistance, and coordinated behavioral health and substance use care. By addressing immediate needs and fostering sustained stability and independence, the Project strives to improve the well-being and quality of life for this vulnerable population. As detailed in the Project Workplan (Attachment I), there are three main goals for HSPI.

Figure 1: Logic Model for HSPI
Process Evaluation Method and Design
The process evaluation will determine whether the Project was implemented as intended and will assess the progression of the Project according to the established projections. The process evaluation will employ a statistical approach to answer the following questions:
- 7 -
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05

1. How many individuals enrolled in Prop 47-funded services?

2. How many participants were successfully referred to supportive services?

3. How many individuals received behavioral health treatment?

4. How many individuals received substance use treatment?

5. How many individuals completed the program?

6. How many individuals exited without completing the program?

7. How many individuals were placed in permanent housing?

8. What was the average length of time from enrollment to placement into temporary housing?

9. What was the average length of time from enrollment to placement into permanent housing?
Methods
The Logic Model in Figure 1 depicts the overall relationship between inputs, activities, process goals, and outputs, all of which are assessed as part of the process evaluation. The process evaluation will rely on data collected by program staff and providers.

To document the characteristics of participants and the nature and extent of services received through the Project, the evaluation team will rely on service data collected and maintained in the case management systems of Garden Pathways and Psychiatric Wellness Center. Additional data collection instruments may be designed to ensure all components of the process evaluation are addressed. Staff and contracted providers will be trained and provided with technical assistance to ensure data are collected according to established procedures.

Measures
Process measures listed in Table 1 will be assessed on a quarterly basis to determine the fidelity of program implementation and provide timely identification of areas that require attention.

Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Analysis
All datasets will first be merged and checked for accuracy. Then, comprehensive statistical analyses will be conducted.

A key aspect of analyses is the determination of whether each participant succeeded in terms of program activities. This is a process measure, rather than an outcomes measure, since it is related to the extent to which participants engaged in Project activities, rather than to any particular outcome. For HSPI, success is defined as completion of 80% or more of the activities indicated in each participant's Individualized Service Plan. This definition of success permits variation in treatment objectives between participants. EVALCORP will provide a tool that allows for the calculation of individualized completion scores given participant goals.

Outcome Evaluation Method and Design
The outcome evaluation will determine whether the Project achieved the intended results and assess any changes after participants received services. The outcome evaluation will utilize a quantitative research approach to assess the following constructs:
• Housing stability (i.e., in permanent housing at 6 months or one year). • Recidivism, using the BSCC (AB 1056) definition.

Methods
The outcomes evaluation will employ quantitative external data from partner stakeholders and assessment data received from service providers and contractors. Outcome data will be collected using a pre- and post-assessment method to identify changes since receipt of services. The outcomes evaluation will rely on the following data sources:
- 10 -
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 • Housing Stability: Participants will self-report their housing stability at program ent1y and housing stability will be reported as the number of participants with stable residences at the 6-month and 12-month time points. • Recidivism: Recidivism will be measured using the BSCC (AB 1056) definition, namely, conviction of a new felony or misdemeanor committed within three years of release from custody or placement on supervision for a previous criminal conviction. The outcomes reporting will distinguish between participants who are placed in housing and those who are not.

Analysis
Univariate statistical methods will be applied in the analyses of quantitative outcomes data. All major outcomes indicators will be compared to baseline data. Using the AB 1065 definition, Prop 47 recidivism will be compared to non-Prop 47 parole recidivism - 11 -
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 for the same year, Prop 4 7 recidivism for California, and historical recidivism rates for Kern County as calculated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).

As with any evaluation methodology, our approach has certain limitations. Primarily, directly attributing observed changes in participant behaviors and mental states specifically to the program is difficult without a tailored research design. Unlike randomized controlled trials, which randomly assign participants into treatment and control groups to ensure strong internal and external validity, our current evaluation lacks this randomization. This absence reduces our ability to make definitive causal inferences and limits the broader applicability of our findings. Although some advanced research designs can approximate causal effects, these typically rely on comparison groups from the same population of interest. Presently, it remains unknown whether an adequate comparison group from eligible participants can be formed. If available, this group will be used to create a matched comparison group to help adjust for potential confounding factors, employing several established methodologies.

Second, voluntary programs lasting extended periods are susceptible to attrition bias, where results can become skewed if participants leave before the program concludes. Those who remain involved throughout may systematically differ from those who drop out. For instance, individuals who discontinue participation might have more severe substance use or behavioral health issues, potentially inflating the perceived success rate of the program.

Finally, the sample size for participants in HSPI is relatively small, which restricts the types of statistical analyses that can be reliably conducted. Specifically, it may be challenging to confidently estimate program effects on smaller subgroups (such as those with unique demographic features) or to compare these groups effectively against larger segments. To mitigate potential misinterpretations or overgeneralizations, results presented in the final report will include appropriate context and caution.
- 12 -
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Due to these limitations, findings from this evaluation should not be generalized to the broader Prop 4 7 offender population, nor can we definitively isolate the treatment effects of the intervention. This evaluation design primarily supports comparisons between large groups within the sample and against known baseline population values, such as general parole recidivism rates. Statistical analyses will focus on identifying potential differences between study subgroups and comparing overall sample results with known population parameters. Both Bayesian and frequentist approaches may be applied to these analyses. To ensure methodological rigor and accurate interpretation, the City of Bakersfield has partnered with EVALCORP, an evaluation and research firm with specialized expertise, to perform these analyses.

Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 PART I: BACKGROUND AND GRANT INFORMATION
Background
Proposition 47 was a voter-approved initiative on the November 4, 2014 general election ballot. As stated in the ballot measure:

The people enact the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act to ensure that prison spending is focused on violent and serious offenses, to maximize alternatives for nonserious, nonviolent crime, and to invest the savings generated from this act into prevention and support programs in K-12 schools, victim services, and mental health and drug treatment (Attachment A).

As further stated in the proposition, the BSCC's responsibilities are to:

Administer a grant program to public agencies aimed at supporting mental health treatment, substance abuse treatment, and diversion programs for people in the criminal justice system, with an emphasis on programs that reduce recidivism of people convicted of less serious crimes, such as those covered by this measure, and those who have substance abuse and mental health problems. (Gov. Code, § 7599.2, subd. (a)(3).)
Assembly Bill 1056 (Statutes of 2015, Chapter 438) added additional priorities to the grant program including housing-related assistance and community-based supportive services such as job skills training, case management and civil legal services (Attachment B).

Proposition 47 Executive Steering Committee & Scoring Panel The BSCC uses Executive Steering Committees (ESC) and Scoring Panels to inform decision-making related to the Board's programs. ESCs and Scoring Panels are composed of subject matter experts, community partners, and interested parties representing both the public and private sectors. The BSCC makes every attempt to include a diverse representation on its ESCs and Scoring panels , in breadth of experience, geography and demographics.

In November 2021 , BSCC convened an ESC that performed a comprehensive evaluation of grant requirements and subsequently developed recommendations for the Proposition 47 Cohort 3 RFP. In February 2022, BSCC released the Cohort 3 RFP to the public.

To increase the BSCC's understanding of the needs of its stakeholders in relation to appropriate uses for Proposition 47 grant funds, BSCC conducted a statewide survey in November 2023. The results of the survey indicated that the RFP previously developed by the Proposition 47 ESC still aligns with the needs and priorities of California's communities, but that there is a greater need for residential treatment options. Therefore, this RFP contains increased funding thresholds to meet those needs.

PART I, Page 14
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 The BSCC will use a Scoring Panel process to complete the reading and rating of the Proposition 47 Cohort 4 proposals and to develop funding recommendations for the Board .

The Board may approve, reject, or revise those recommendations.

Members of the Scoring Panel are not paid for their time but are reimbursed for travel expenses incurred to attend meetings. If the BSCC is unable to convene a full Scoring Panel, BSCC staff may participate in the rating process.

Conflicts of Interest
Existing law prohibits any grantee, subgrantee, partner, or like party who participated on the Scoring Panel from receiving funds from the Proposition 47 grants awarded under this RFP.

Applicants who are awarded grants under this RFP are responsible for reviewing the Scoring Panel membership roster and ensuring that no grant dollars are passed through to any entity represented by any member of the Scoring Panel. Please check the BSCC Proposition 47 website for updated information on the Scoring Panel.

Docusign Envelope ID: 27O67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Guiding Principles for the Proposition 47 Grant
In developing the original Proposition 47 RFP, the ESC agreed on the guiding principles listed below, which reflect the priorities and values of the Proposition 47 Grant Program.

They are woven throughout the RFP and incorporated into the rating criteria. Applicants should develop proposals that reflect these principles.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES for BSCC's PROPOSITION 47 GRANT
• Incorporate community partnerships and collaborations. • Encourage culturally competent services and approaches that foster the principles of restorative justice.
• Define target populations, especially those populations that are:
o traditionally underserved or inappropriately served through mental health and substance use disorder service providers, or
o overrepresented within the criminal justice system, or o experiencing or at risk for homelessness
• Expand access to culturally congruent quality mental health and substance use disorder services, including services for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorder needs and the use of evidence-based or community defined practices.
• Identify and address known barriers to serving target populations, such as:
o Lack of jobs, housing, or employment
• Prioritize client-focused/client-centered holistic programs and approaches, including healing strategies and trauma-informed care.
• Expand and improve on efforts to divert individuals away from criminal justice involvement through increased diversion programs and improved behavioral health services or community supports.
• Include community-based organizations with diverse staffing, including those who are system-impacted individuals, or who have varying educational levels and life experiences.
• Demonstrate capacity building for service providers at every level. • Be mindful of regional equity and geographic diversity, including smaller and rural counties.
• Collect program data and measure/evaluate outcomes and publish and share information.
• Encourage community engagement, where members of the community participate in the identifying, informing, and shaping of policies, goals, services, and solutions.

A county, city, whether a general law city or a chartered city, or city and county , the duly constituted governing body of an Indian reservation or Rancheria, a school district, municipal corporation, district, political subdivision, or any board, commission, or agency thereof, entities that are legislative bodies of a local agency pursuant to subdivision (c) or (d) of Section 54952 of the Government Code, a housing authority organized pursuant to Part 2 (commencing with Section 34200) of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code, a state agency, public district, or other political subdivision of the state, or any instrumentality thereof, which is authorized to engage in or assist in the development or operation of housing for persons and families of low or moderate income. (Pen. Code, § 6046.1 , subd. (c).)
Current Cohort 3 Grantees Are Not Eligible to Apply
Public agencies currently receiving a Cohort 3 Proposition 47 grant (as the Lead Agency) are not eligible to apply for Cohort 4 funding (see Attachment C). • Los Angeles County: Because Los Angeles County received a $20 million award in Cohort 3, all county agencies within Los Angeles County are ineligible to apply for Cohort 4. Note that city public agencies and non-county public agencies within Los Angeles County are eligible to apply.

A public agency from the same city or county as a Cohort 3 grantee may still apply (with the exception of county agencies in Los Angeles County, as noted in the bullet above).

Definition of Lead Agency
For the purposes of this RFP, the public agency applicant will be considered the Lead Agency. Lead agencies (i.e., individual agencies or departments within a city, county, or other jurisdiction) may not submit more than one proposal.

Non-lead agencies (including community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, non-governmental or governmental entities, etc.) may serve as a partner on more than one proposal, as long as they have the capacity to separately track the services provided to each.

Required Pass-Through to Community-Based Organizations
In order to be eligible, a Lead Agency must:
• Subcontract with one or more non-governmental, community-based organizations for a minimum of 50 percent of the total grant award in order to demonstrate a shared partnership rooted in community engagement and economic equity.

Note: Additional points will be awarded to applicants that pass-through 60 to 69 percent or 70 percent and higher of the total grant award (See Preference Points section, later in this document).

PART I, Page I 7
Docusign Envelope ID: 27O67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Joint Proposals
Two or more public agencies may partner to submit a joint proposal, but one must be designated as Lead Agency for contracting purposes. Joint proposals must comply with all other eligibility criteria. A public agency may apply on both an individual and a joint proposal.

There is no funding or scoring incentive for joint proposals.

Funding Information
The Proposition 47 Grant is funded from savings generated from the enactment of the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act of 2014. Each year, the Department of Finance calculates the savings and distributes funding to the BSCC, State Department of Education, and California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board . By law, the BSCC receives 65 percent of the state savings to administer a grant program.

Approximately $152 million in funding is available for the Proposition 47 Cohort 4 RFP.

This funding is contingent on:
1) The amount of funds available in the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund ; 2) Grantee's adherence to the Proposition 47 RFP requirements and applicable statutes; and
3) Grantee's ability to demonstrate that annual implementation goals and objectives (as listed on the Proposition 47 Project Work Plan - described later on) have been met.

The BSCC may select additional proposals for awards from the ranked list if the deposits into the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund significantly increase the BSCC's expected allocation.

Funding Categories and Corresponding Funding Thresholds Recognizing that different-sized jurisdictions have different capacities, resources, and needs, there are two categories within which public agency applicants will compete.

Maximum funding thresholds have been set within each category. These categories were established so that projects of a smaller scope do not compete against projects of a larger scope. Applicants will self-select a funding category, depending on the size of the proposed project. See the table below:

Ii Funding Category Applicants in this Category may Request: Funds Available in this Category
1) Small Scope Up to $2 million for the entire grant period. $60,800,000 2) Large Scope More than $2 million and up to $8 million for $91,200,000 the entire grant period .

Total Available Funds: $152,000,000
PART I, Page I 8
Docusign Envelope ID: 27O67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for only the amount of funding needed to meet their program goals within the grant period . The Scoring Panel will rate proposals based in part on the reasonableness of the proposed budget.

Note: Applicants must earn at least 65 percent of the total weighted score to be considered for funding (more information on scoring is provided later in this document). If there are not sufficient qualified applicants in one category to exhaust all funds, those funds will be recommended for qualified applicants in the other category.

Financial Leveraging
Assembly Bill 1056 (2015) calls for the BSCC to prioritize Proposition 4 7 funding to public agency applicants that demonstrate how they plan to leverage other federal, state, and local funds or other social investments, such as the following:

A. The Drug Medi-Cal Treatment Program (22 Cal. Code Regs. 51341 .1, 51490.1, and 51516.1).

B. The Mental Health Services Act, enacted by Proposition 63 at the November 2, 2004, general election, as amended.

C. Funds provided for in connection with the implementation of Chapter 15 of the Statutes of 2011.

D. The Community Corrections Performance Incentives Act (Stats. 2009, Ch. 608; Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 1228) of Title 8 of Part 2).

E. The tax credits established pursuant to Sections 12209, 17053.57, and 23657 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

F. The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development funds, such as the Emergency Solutions Grant program (42 U.S.C. Sec. 11371 et seq.).

G. The federal Department of Veterans Affairs Supportive Services for Veteran Families program (38 U.S.C. Sec. 2044).

H. Social Innovation Funds established by the Corporation for National and Community Service pursuant to Section 12653k of Title 42 of the United States Code.

I. The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (42 U.S.C. Sec. 3750 et seq.).

Leveraged Contributions
Grantees must maintain documentation that support all leveraged contributions to the grant.

Expenditures for leverage funds must be reported on the BSCC invoice as the expenditures occur. Grantees are responsible for ensuring budgeted leverage contributions are made and grantees should not reduce or waive contributions once the grant agreement is fully executed. Failure to account for or provide budgeted leverage funds may result in a commensurate reduction in BSCC grant funds or termination of the grant agreement.

Supplanting
BSCC grant funds shall be used to support new program activities and/or to augment existing funds that expand current program activities. BSCC grant funds shall not be used to replace existing funds.

Supplanting is strictly prohibited for all BSCC grants. When leveraging outside funds, public agency applicants must be careful not to supplant. Supplanting is the deliberate reduction PART I, Page I 9
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 in the amount of federal , state, or local funds being appropriated to an existing program or activity because grant funds have been awarded for the same purposes.

It is the responsibility of the Grantee to ensure that supplanting does not occur. The Grantee must keep clear and detailed financial records to show that grant funds are used only for allowable costs and activities.

Denial of Future Funding
The BSCC reserves the right to consider the denial of future funding to any project and its officers based on its failure to comply with any term or condition of a current or previous Grant Award , poor past performance in a previous Grant Award , or failure to cooperate with state auditors/monitors.

Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 As shown above, Proposition 47 grant funds must be used for mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, diversion programs, or some combination thereof for people in the criminal justice system, defined further in the Target Population section.

In addition to these required services and programs, applicants are encouraged to provide supplemental housing-related services and other community-based supportive services, such as job skills training, case management, and civil legal services.

The grant can fund programs that serve adults and/or juveniles. Examples of substance use disorder treatment and diversion programs can be found in Attachment D: Glossary of Key Terms.

Public agency applicants will be allowed to implement new services or programs and/or expand existing services or programs.

Ineligible Grant Expenditures
Grant funds may be used to implement new activities and programs and/or augment existing funds dedicated to a project but may not replace or supplant funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose.

Proposition 47 grant funds may not be used for:
• the acquisition of real property, or
• programs or services provided in a custodial setting (with the exception of outreach and reentry planning) 1.

For information on eligible and ineligible costs, refer to the BSCC Grant Administration Guide, found on the BSCC website.

Target Population
Services and programs proposed in response to this RFP must be designed to serve people who:
• Have been arrested, charged with, or convicted of a criminal offense and have a history of mental health or substance use disorders.

For purposes of this RFP, a person has a history of mental health issues or substance use disorders if the person:
• has a mental health issue or substance use disorder that limits one or more of their life activities;
• has received services for a mental health issue or substance use disorder; • has self-reported to a provider that they have a history of mental health issues, substance use disorders, or both; or
• has been regarded as having a mental health issue or substance use disorder. 1 For the purposes of this RFP, a locked facility (e.g., jail, prison, etc.) is considered a custodial setting. The intent of this RFP is to prohibit the use of grant funds for prog rams or services provided in a custodial setting with the exception of outreach and ree ntry planning.

PART I, Page 11 2
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 In addition, the target population of Proposition 47 should have been convicted of less serious crimes such as those covered by Proposition 47 and have substance abuse and/or mental health problems.

If services and programs are provided to juveniles, juveniles must fall under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602. Juveniles that come under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 601 (i.e., status offenses, truancy) should not be considered arrested for or charged with criminal offenses.

Public agency applicants are required to describe how they will ensure that this target population is the one to be served by the proposed program. This could include a description of the program's referral, engagement to services, screening, assessment, and documentation processes.

Service Delivery Approach
Applicants will be required to describe the service delivery approach, i.e., who will deliver the services and how, and why it is most appropriate for the community and target population . Key questions to consider include:
• What are the needs of your community and how does your project provide services reflective of the racially and ethnically diverse communities served? • How does your project ensure services will be provided in locations accessible to the community?
• How does your project ensure services will be tailored to meet an individual's holistic needs, e.g., wraparound services?
• How does your project provide services in a culturally competent manner? • How does your approach ensure that services and programs adhere to the principles of trauma-informed care?
• How does your project provide services in a collaborative manner with the community, governmental and nongovernmental agencies?
• How does your project take steps to advance the principles of Restorative Justice and reduce recidivism in your community?
• How will this project change or improve the lives of participants? PART I, Page 113
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Grant Period
Proposals selected for funding will be under contract agreement with the BSCC from October 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028. The term of the grant agreement includes a 3-½-year service delivery period (October 1, 2024 through March 31, 2028) and an additional three (3) months (April 1, 2028 through June 30, 2028) to finalize and submit the required Local Evaluation Report and program-specific compliance audit.

Proposition 47 Local Advisory Committee
In order to apply for Proposition 47 funding, the Lead Agency must develop a Proposition 47 Local Advisory Committee that includes local stakeholders who have experience and expertise in the prospective programs and/or services to be implemented by the proposal.

This advisory committee will , at a minimum, advise on :
• How to identify and prioritize the most pressing needs to be addressed (to include target population, target area, etc.);
• How to identify the strategies, programs and/or services to be undertaken to address those needs;
• The development of the grant project; and
PART I, Page I 14
Docusign Envelope ID: 27O67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 • Ongoing implementation of the grant project.

The Proposition 47 Local Advisory Committee must include a broad range of stakeholders from within the communities, organizations, departments, etc. impacted by the proposal.

Examples include behavioral health professionals, educators, community-based and faithbased organizations, individuals impacted by the justice system, law enforcement, probation, prosecutors, defense attorneys, courts, social service providers, advocacy groups, housing providers, housing navigators and citizens.

Lead Agencies should consider state and local conflict of interest laws when selecting members of the Proposition 47 Local Advisory Committee. The Lead Agency is advised to check with its counsel about potential conflicts . The Lead Agency may use an existing body, but it must include individuals with the appropriate experience and expertise and address all the requirements listed in this section .

The Lead Agency must host regular community meetings to invite ongoing feedback and non-confidential updates from the Proposition 4 7 Local Advisory Committee and the community.

Throughout the duration of the grant, Lead Agencies must maintain documentation of:
• Public outreach efforts soliciting committee membership and publicizing community meeting information;
• Attendance at both committee and community meetings;
• Agendas and minutes of committee and community meetings; • Examples of processes for collaboration plan; and
• Partnering agencies' details of their plans for collaboration .

As a part of the application, each Lead Agency will be required to include a Membership Roster for the Proposition 47 Local Advisory Committee and a Letter of Agreement signed by all members (see Attachments E and F).

Evidence-Based, Data-Driven and Innovative Strategies
The BSCC is committed to supporting a focus on better outcomes in the justice system and for those involved in it. Applicants are therefore encouraged to use data to drive decisionmaking in the development, implementation, and appraisal of their overall projects.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate that their proposal is linked to the implementation of practices and strategies supported by data. In developing a proposal, applicants should focus on the following three basic principles:

1. Is there evidence or data to suggest that the intervention or strategy is likely to work, i.e., produce a desired benefit? For example, was the intervention or strategy you selected used by another jurisdiction with documented positive results? Is there published research on the intervention you are choosing to implement showing its effectiveness? Is the intervention or strategy being used by another jurisdiction with a similar problem and similar target population? PART I, Page 115
Docusign Envelope ID: 27O67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 I

2. Once an intervention or strategy is selected, will you be able to demonstrate that it is being carried out as intended? For example, does this intervention or strategy provide for a way to monitor quality control or continuous quality improvement? If this intervention or strategy was implemented in another jurisdiction, are there procedures in place to ensure that that you are following the model closely (so that you are more likely to achieve the desired outcomes)?

3. Is there a plan to collect evidence or data that will allow for an evaluation of whether the intervention or strategy worked? For example, will the intervention or strategy you selected allow for the collection of data or other evidence so that outcomes can be measured at the conclusion of the project? Do you have processes in place to identify, collect and analyze that data/evidence? Public agency applicants are encouraged to develop an overall project that incorporates these principles but is tailored to fit the needs of the communities they serve. Innovation and creativity are encouraged, but projects that have not been validated must demonstrate a promising approach using existing data and research such as best practices in the field.

Plans to measure the effectiveness of a project should include the use of both qualitative and quantitative research. While quantitative research is based on numbers and mathematical calculations, qualitative research is based on written or spoken narratives. The purpose of quantitative research is to explain, predict and/or control events through focused collection of numerical data, while the purpose of qualitative research is to explain and gain insight and understanding of events through intensive collection of narrative data.

Data Collection, Reporting and Evaluation Requirements
Projects selected for funding will be required to submit the following to the BSCC:
• Quarterly Progress Reports
• A Local Evaluation Plan (due March 31, 2025) and
• A Local Evaluation Report (due June 30, 2028).

Required Set-Aside for Evaluation Efforts
To ensure that grantees can comply with BSCC's data collection and reporting requirements in a meaningful way that benefits the applicants, their communities, and the State of California, grantees are required to budget a minimum of 5 percent (or $50,000, whichever is greater), but not more than 10 percent, of the total grant award for data collection and evaluation efforts. These efforts include development of the Local Evaluation Plan , completion of Quarterly Progress Reports and completion of Local Evaluation Report.

Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to use outside evaluators to ensure objective and impartial evaluations. Specifically, applicants are encouraged to partner with institutions of higher learning universities, state universities and community colleges. See Attachment D for key definitions related to project evaluation.

PART I, Page I 16
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Applicants are also strongly encouraged to identify research partners early on and include them in the development of the proposal, so that the goals and objectives listed in the Proposition 4 7 Project Work Plan are measurable.

Quarterly Progress Reports
Grant recipients are required to submit Quarterly Progress Reports (QPRs) to the BSCC.

Progress reports are a critical element in BSCC's monitoring and oversight process.

Grantees that are unable to demonstrate that they are making sufficient progress toward project goals and objectives and that funds are being spent in accordance with the Grant Agreement and Proposition 47 Work Plan could be subject to the withholding of funds . Once grants are awarded, BSCC staff will work with grantees to create custom progress reports.

Applicable forms and instructions will be available to grantees on the BSCC's website after the Grantee Orientation.

As part of the QPRs, grantees will be required to submit de-identified individual level data in a Microsoft Excel file located in a secure cloud storage platform . BSCC will not request or retain personal identifying information. Grantees will be required to provide the following information for each participant:
• Age at enrollment
• Gender
• Race/Ethnicity
• Level of education at enrollment
• Employment and housing status at enrollment
• Employment and housing status at completion
• Prior arrests and convictions (yes/no responses)
• Probation, Parole, or PRCS status at enrollment
• Participation status (e.g., active participant, received one-time intervention services, exited program without completing program requirements, completed program requirements, etc.)
• Number of days between program enrollment and program completion (for participants who complete program requirements)
• Services the participant received during the quarter (checkbox). • Recidivism
o Due to the complexity of obtaining recidivism information for many grantees, this information will only be requested annually, instead of quarterly. o The definition of recidivism , as established in AB 1056, will be used for reporting purposes.
o Recidivism data must be obtained from a reliable source, such as local law enforcement. Self-report will not be accepted. Note that obtaining this information from a reliable source may require the establishment of data sharing agreements.
o Grantees will be required to report the following recidivism information:
■ Number of days between program enrollment/services received and the recidivating event.
• Whether the conviction was a misdemeanor or felony
PART I, Page 117
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Local Evaluation Plan
The purpose of the Local Evaluation Plan is to ensure that projects funded by the BSCC can be evaluated. Grantees will be expected to include a detailed description of how the public agency applicant will assess the effectiveness of the proposed program in relationship to each of its goals and objectives. A relationship between the goals and objectives identified in the Proposition 47 Project Work Plan should be apparent in the Local Evaluation Plan.

The Local Evaluation Plan should describe the evaluation design or model that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the project component(s), with the project goals and the project objectives clearly stated . Public agency applicants should include criteria for both process and outcome evaluations. Once submitted, any modifications to the Local Evaluation Plan must be approved in advance by the BSCC. More detailed instructions on the Local Evaluation plan will be made available to successful applicants.

Local Evaluation Report
Following project completion, grantees are required to complete a Local Evaluation Report.

The Local Evaluation Report must be in a format prescribed by the BSCC. More detailed instructions on the Local Evaluation Plan will be made available to successful applicants.

The purpose of the Final Local Evaluation Report is to determine whether the overall project (including each individual component) was effective in meeting the goals laid out in the Local Evaluation Plan. To do this, the grantee must assess and document the effectiveness of the activities that were implemented within each individual project component. These activities should have been identified in the previously submitted Local Evaluation Plan. More detailed instructions on the Local Evaluation Report will be made available to successful applicants.

Evaluation Dissemination
The BSCC will make public the Local Evaluation Plan and Local Evaluation Report from each grantee. Reports may be posted to the BSCC website and information from them may be incorporated into a Statewide Evaluation Report to be shared with the Administration, the Legislature, and the public.

Projects selected for funding are encouraged to make public (e.g., post online, disseminate, share at meetings) the Local Evaluation Report to the community and the grantee's Governing Board (e.g., Board of Supervisors, City Council, etc.).

If the grantee plans to publish the Local Evaluation Report, it must be submitted to the BSCC for review prior to publication.

PART I, Page j 18
Docusign Envelope ID: 27O67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 General Grant Requirements
Governing Board Resolution
Successful applicants will be required to submit a Resolution from their Governing Boards before the grant award can be finalized and funds awarded. A signed resolution is not required at the time of proposal submission, but public agency applicants are advised that no financial invoices will be processed for reimbursement until the Governing Board Resolution has been received by the BSCC. A sample Governing Board Resolution can be found in Attachment G.

Grant Agreement
Public agency applicants approved for funding by the BSCC Board are required to enter into a Grant Agreement with the BSCC. Grantees must agree to comply with all terms and conditions of the Grant Agreement. A sample BSCC Grant Agreement can be found on the BSCC Proposition 47 website.

The Grant Agreement start date is expected to be October 1, 2024. Grant Agreements are considered fully executed only after they are signed by both the Grantee and the BSCC, and the BSCC is in receipt of all required attachments including documentation of signing authority (i.e. , Governing Board Resolution) . Work, services, and encumbrances cannot begin prior to the Grant Agreement start date. Any work, services, and encumbrances that occur after the start date but prior to Grant Agreement execution may not be reimbursed.

Grantees and all subgrantees are responsible for maintaining their Grant Agreement, all invoices, records , and relevant documentation for at least three (3) years after the final payment under the Grant Agreement.

Debarment, Fraud, Theft or Embezzlement
It is the policy of the BSCC to protect grant funds from unreasonable risks of fraudulent, criminal, or other improper use. As such, the Board will not enter into contracts or provide reimbursement to applicants that have been:

1. Debarred by any federal, state, or local government entities during the period of debarment; or

2. Convicted of fraud, theft, or embezzlement of federal , state, or local government grant funds for a period of three years following conviction .

Furthermore, the BSCC requires grant recipients to provide an assurance that there has been no applicable debarment, disqualification, suspension, or removal from a federal, state, or local grant program on the part of the grantee at the time of application and that the grantee will immediately notify the BSCC should such debarment or conviction occur during the term of the Grant contract.

BSCC also requires that all grant recipients include, as a condition of award to a subgrantee or subcontractor, a requirement that the subgrantee or subcontractor will provide the same assurances to the grant recipient. If a grant recipient wishes to consider a subgrantee or subcontractor that has been debarred or convicted , the grant recipient must submit a written request for exception to the BSCC along with supporting documentation.

PART I, Page 11 9
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 All applicants must complete Appendix C certifying they are in compliance with the BSCC's policies on debarment, fraud, theft, and embezzlement.

Typically, the Project Director, Financial Officer, and Day-to-Day Contact must attend .

Grantees are also strongly encouraged to include the individual tasked with Data Collection and Evaluation and a minimum of one community partner.

Invoicing for Grant Expenditures
Disbursement of grant funds occurs on a reimbursement basis for costs incurred during a reporting period . The State Controller's Office (SCO) will issue the warrant (check) to the individual designated as the Financial Officer for the grant. Grantees will submit invoices to the BSCC on quarterly basis through an online process no later than 45 days following the end of the invoicing period (grantees wishing to invoice on a monthly basis must request an exception prior to entering into Grant Agreement). 3 The State Controller has independent authority to audit Proposition 47 grant programs administered by t he BSCC. (Gov. Code,§ 7599.2, subd. (c).)

Docusign Envelope ID: 27O67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCO77C05 Grantees must maintain adequate supporting documentation for all costs claimed on invoices. BSCC staff will conduct a desk review process which requires grantees to submit electronic documentation to support all grant funds claimed during the invoicing period. In addition, BSCC staff will conduct on-site monitoring visits that will include a review of documentation maintained as substantiation for project expenditures with grant funds .

Additional information about invoicing can be found in the BSCC Grant Administration Guide located on the BSCC website.

Travel
Travel is usually warranted when personal contact by project staff is the most appropriate method of conducting project-related business. Travel to and from training conferences may also be allowed. The most economical method of transportation, in terms of direct expenses to the project and the employee's time away from the project, must be used. Projects are required to include sufficient per diem and travel allocations for project-related personnel, as outlined in the Grant Award, to attend any mandated BSCC training conferences or workshops outlined in the terms of the program.
• Units of Government
Units of government may follow either their own written travel and per diem policy or the State's policy. Units of government that plan to use cars from a state, county, city, district carpool, or garage may budget either the mileage rate established by the carpool or garage, or the state mileage rate, not to exceed the loaning agency rate. • Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
An NGO receiving BSCC funds must use the State travel and per diem policy, unless the Grantee's written travel policy is more restrictive than the State's, in which case it must be used. Reimbursement is allowed for the cost of commercial carrier fares, parking , bridge, and road tolls, as well as necessary taxi, bus, and streetcar fares. • Out-of-State Travel
Out-of-state travel is restricted and only allowed in exceptional situations. Grantees must receive written BSCC approval prior to incurring expenses for out-of-state travel.

Even if previously authorized in the Grant Award, Grantees must submit to the BSCC a separate formal request (on Grantee letterhead) for approval. Out-of-state travel requests must include a detailed justification and budget information.

Compliance Monitoring Visits
The BSCC staff will monitor each project to assess whether the project is in compliance with grant requirements and making progress toward grant objectives. As needed, monitoring visits may also occur to provide technical assistance on fiscal , programmatic, evaluative, and administrative requirements. For your reference, a sample Comprehensive Monitoring Visit checklist can be found on the Corrections Planning and Grant Programs website.

Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Proposal Rating Process
Unless disqualified, proposals will advance to the Scoring Panel for the Proposal Rating Process. Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the BSCC's Grant Proposal Evaluation Process and as described below. The Scoring Panel will read and assign ratings to each proposal in accordance with the prescribed rating factors listed in the table below. Scoring Panel members will base their points on how well an applicant addresses the criteria listed under each rating factor within the Proposal Narrative and Budget Sections.

Scoring Panel ratings, once submitted to the BSCC, will be final.

At the conclusion of this process, applicants will be notified of the Scoring Panel's funding recommendations. It is anticipated that the Board will act on the recommendations at its meeting in September 2024. Applicants and partners are not to contact members of the Scoring Panel or the BSCC Board to discuss proposals.

Rating Factors
The Rating Factors that will be used and the maximum points allocated to each factor are shown in the table below. Applicants are asked to address each of these factors as part of their proposal. The Proposition 47 ESC assigned a percent value to each Rating Factor, correlating to its importance within the overall project (see Percent of Total Value column).

Rating Factors Point Range Percent of Weighted Rating
Total Value Factor Score
1 Project Need 0-5 25% 50
2 Community Engagement 0-5 15% 30
3 Project Description 0-5 30% 60
4 Data Collection and Evaluation 0-5 15% 30
5 Project Budget 0-5 15% 30
Total Score (before Preference Points): 100% 200
Preference Points: Applicants are required to dedicate a minimum of 50 percent of the grant funds requested to subcontracts with non-governmental, community-based organizations. Additional points will be added to the final score if an applicant dedicates 60 percent or more, as follows:
60-69 percent of grant funds= 2 additional points
70+ percent of grant funds = 4 additional points
Maximum Possible Score with Preference Points: 204
Scoring Panel members will rate an applicant's response to each Rating Factor on a scale from Oto 5, according to the Six-Point Rating Scale shown below. For each Rating Factor, the rating point received is then weighted according to the "Percent of Total Value" column associated with the Rating Factor to arrive at the final Weighted Rating Factor Score. The Weighted Rating Factor Scores are then added together for a Total Score. Preference points are added to the Total Score, as applicable. The Maximum Possible Proposal Score is 204.

Preference Points
PART I, Page I 24
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 An applicant may earn up to four additional points based on the amount of grant funds that are dedicated to non-governmental, community-based organizations. Specifically, applicants are required to dedicate a minimum of 50 percent of their grant funds to subcontracts with non-governmental, community-based organizations. An additional two points will be added to the final score if an applicant dedicates 60 to 69 percent of grant funds to a non-governmental, community-based organization, and an additional four points if the applicant dedicates 70 percent or more.

To be considered for funding, a proposal must meet a threshold of 65 percent (65%), or a minimum Proposal Score of 130 total points.

Funding Decisions
Applicants will compete for funds within either the Small or Large Scope category. Once the proposals have been scored and ranked, BSCC will move down the ranked lists to fund all qualified applicants (i.e., proposals that meet the scoring threshold requirements) in each category until all funds in that category are exhausted. Applicants that fall at the cut-off point may be offered a partial award if there are not sufficient remaining funds to make a full award.

If there are not sufficient qualified applicants to exhaust all funds in one category, those funds will be recommended for qualified applicants in the other category. Any funds remaining after all possible qualified applicants have been funded will be held for the next Proposition 47 Request for Proposal.

[Approved by Governor October 02, 2015. Filed with Secretary of State October 02, 2015.] AB 1056, Atkins. Second Chance Program .
(1) Existing law, until January 1, 2020, establishes the Social Innovation Financing Program, and requires the Board of State and Community Corrections to administer the program . Existing law, among other things, authorizes the board , upon appropriation of funds by the Legislature for deposit into the Recidivism Reduction Fund, to award grants in amounts of not less than $500,000 and not more than $2,000,000 to each of 3 counties, selected as specified, for the purpose of entering into a pay for success or social innovation financing contract, pursuant to which private investors agree to provide financing to service providers to achieve social outcomes agreed upon in advance and the government agency that is a party to the contractual agreement agrees to pay a return on the investment to the investors if successful programmatic outcomes are achieved by the service provider. Existing law limits the total amount of the grants awarded to $5,000,000. Existing law requires each county receiving an award to report annually to the Governor and Legislature on the status of its program . Existing law requires the board to compile the county reports and submit a summary report to the Governor and the Legislature annually.

This bill would extend the operation of that program and the reporting requirements until January 1, 2022.

This bi ll would also require the board to administer a competitive grant program that focuses on community-based solutions for reducing recidivism. The bill would establish minimum criteria for the grant program and would require the board to establish an executive steering committee, as specified , to make recommendations regarding the design, efficacy, and viability of proposals and to make recommendations on guidelines for the submission of proposals for the grant program, including threshold or scoring criteria, or both. Among other things , the bill would require those guidelines to prioritize proposals that advance principles of restorative justice while demonstrating a capacity to reduce recidivism, and that leverage certain other federal , state, and local funds or social investments. The bill would define recidivism, for the purposes of these provisions, as a conviction of a new felony or misdemeanor committed within 3 years of release from custody or committed within 3 years of placement on supervision for a previous criminal conviction. (2) The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act establishes within the State Treasury the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund to receive moneys transferred from the General Fund in an amount equal to the savings resulting from the implementation of the act, as specified . The act requires that 65% of the moneys in the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund be allocated the Board of State and Community Corrections to administer a grant program to public agencies aimed at supporting specified types of programs, including diversion programs, for people in the criminal justice system with an emphasis on programs that reduce recidivism, as specified.

This bill would create the Second Chance Fund in the State Treasury for the purpose of funding the above-described recidivism reduction program . The bill would require the Controller, upon order of the Director of Finance, to transfer the moneys available to the Board of State and Community Corrections from the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund into the Second Chance Fund. The bill would also authorize the Second Chance Fund to receive moneys from any other federal, state, or local grant, or from any private donation. The bill would prohibit the board from using the moneys in the fund to supplant existing programs and from spending more than 5% per year of the total moneys in the fund for administrative purposes.

The bill would require the board to administer these provisions, and moneys in the fund would be continuously appropriated to the board for expenditure for these purposes. By creating a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation.

BILL TEXT
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1.

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) California voters approved Proposition 47, known as the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act of 2014. The measure was enacted to ensure that prison spending is focused on violent and serious offenses, to maximize alternatives for nonviolent and nonserious crime, and to invest the resulting savings into prevention and support programs. (b) Research has shown that people in the criminal justice system disproportionately suffer from mental health issues and substance use disorders. Nationally, over one-half of all people in prisons or jails have experienced a mental health issue within the last year, and over one-half of women and 44 percent of men in jail have a drug or alcohol dependency. (c) People in the criminal justice system and formerly incarcerated individuals have difficulty securing housing and employment following their incarceration. These challenges are compounded for people living with mental health issues or substance use disorders. As a result, many formerly incarcerated people, especially those with mental health issues or substance abuse disorders experience homelessness. Experiencing homelessness greatly increases the likelihood that a formerly incarcerated person will recidivate.
(d) Offering people in the criminal justice system and formerly incarcerated individuals meaningful access to mental health services, substance use treatment services, housing, housingrelated job assistance, job skills training, and other community-based supportive services has been shown to decrease the likelihood of future contact with law enforcement and the criminal justice system.
(e) Prioritizing the state savings realized by the implementation of the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act of 2014 for projects that combine mental health services, substance use treatment services, housing, housing-related job assistance, job skills training, and other community-based supportive services will help the state meaningfully reduce recidivism. (f) By prioritizing projects that offer comprehensive interventions, the Legislature intends for public agencies, nonprofits, and other community-based providers of services to people in the criminal justice system and formerly incarcerated individuals to leverage additional federal, state, and local funds for social investment resources.
(g) The Legislature intends to promote the use of restorative justice principles in addressing recidivism.

Docusign Envelope ID: 27O67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Attachment D: Glossary of Key Terms
Behavioral Health Services
The promotion of mental health, resilience, and wellbeing; the treatment of mental and substance use disorders; and the support of those who experience and/or are in recovery from these conditions, along with their families and communities.

Case Management
A collaborative process which assesses, plans, implements, coordinates, monitors, and evaluates the options and services required to meet an individual's health needs, using communications and available resources to promote quality, cost effective outcomes4.

Community Defined Practices
A set of practices that communities have used and determined by community consensus over time and which may or may not have been measured empirically but have reached a level of acceptance by the community (Martinez, 2008). COE practices are bottomup/ground-up practices that come from the community and the organizations or providers who serve them. Unlike most EBPs, COE practices are developed specifically to address the unmet needs and strengths of a cultural group; they are rooted in the community's worldview and its historical and social contexts (Community Defined Evidence Project [CDEP] Preliminary Quantitative and Qualitative Findings, 2009). CDEPs often incorporate cultural activities, cultural education, and exploration of strengths and skill development, rather than focusing solely or primarily on symptoms and health challenges (Swart, Friesen, Holman, & Aue, 2009) 5.

Cultural Competence
Cultural competency is a developmental process in which one achieves increasing levels of awareness, knowledge, and skills along a continuum, improving one's capacity to work and communicate effectively in cross-cultural situations. Strategies for practicing cultural competency include:
• Learning about your own and others' cultural identities • Combating bias and stereotypes
• Respecting others' beliefs, values, and communication preferences • Adapting your services to each patient's unique needs • Gaining new cultural experiences
Cultural Humility
Cultural humility is a reflective process of understanding one's biases and privileges, managing power imbalances, and maintaining a stance that is open to others in relation to aspects of their cultural identity that are most important to them6.

Strategies for practicing cultural humility include:
• Practicing self-reflection, including awareness of your beliefs, values, and implicit biases
• Recognizing what you don't know and being open to learning as much as you can 4 Source: Case Management Society of America 5 https://cars-rp.org/ MHTTC/docs/CDE-Evaluation-Resource-Compendium-PS-MHTTC.pdf 6 https://th in kcu ltu ral hea Ith. h hs. gov /assets/pdfs/resou rce-li brary/clas-clc-ch . pdf PART Ill , Page j 44

Crisis Residential Treatment Programs
A short-term residential program that provides a less restrictive alternative hospitalization.

Provides treatment for adults with mental health crisis that require 24-hour support in order to return to community living.

Diversion Programs
In the context of criminal law, diversion refers to diverting an individual out of the criminal justice system by having them complete a diversion program rather than be incarcerated or serve another alternative sentence. Criminal charges are typically dropped when an individual successfully completes a diversion program. The purpose of a diversion program is to effect rehabilitation while avoiding the stigma of a criminal conviction.

A diversion program allows the individual to avoid prosecution by completing various requirements for the program. These requirements could include:

1. Education aimed at preventing future offenses by the offender;

2. Restitution to victims of the offense;

3. Completion of community service hours;

4. Avoiding situations for a specified period of time in the future that may lead to committing another such offense.

Diversion programs are usually only available to individuals charged with misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies involving drugs or alcohol. In some jurisdictions, diversion may be available to individuals charged with domestic violence, child abuse or neglect, traffic-related offenses, or even writing bad checks. Diversion programs are primarily governed by state laws, which vary by state.

Goals and Objectives
Goals and objectives are terms in common use, sometimes used interchangeably because both refer to the intended results of program activities. Goals are longer-term than objectives, more broadly stated and govern the specific objectives to which program activities are directed.

In proposals, goals are defined by broad statements of what the program intends to accomplish, representing the long-term intended outcome of the program 7 .

Examples of goal statements8:
• To reduce the number of serious and chronic juvenile offenders. • To divert nonviolent juvenile offenders from state juvenile correctional institutions. • To restore the losses suffered by the victims of crimes. 7 Justice Research and Statistics Association, Juvenile Justice Evaluation Center. (2003, June). Juvenile Justice Program Evaluation: An overview (Second Edition). Retrieved from http://www.jrsa.org/njjec/publications/program-evaluation.pdf.

Docusign Envelope ID: 27O67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Objectives are defined by statements of specific, measurable aims of program activities 9.

Objectives detail the tasks that must be completed to achieve goals 10 . Descriptions of objectives in the proposals should include three elements 11 :

1. Direction - the expected change or accomplishment (e.g. , improve, maintain);

2. Timeframe - when the objective will be achieved; and

3. Target Population- who is affected by the objective.

Examples of program objectives 12 :
• By the end of the program, young, drug-addicted juveniles will recognize the longterm consequences of drug use. o To place eligible juveniles in an intensive supervision program within two weeks of adjudication to ensure offender accountability and community safety. • To ensure that juvenile offenders carry out all of the terms of the mediation agreements they have worked out with their victims by program completion.

Housing Models (Examples)
A. Bridge Housing
Transitional housing that is used as a short-term stay when an individual has been offered and accepted a permanent housing intervention, but access to that permanent housing is still being arranged.

Source: Department of Veterans Affairs
B. Housing First
An approach that centers on providing homeless people with housing quickly and then providing services as needed. What differentiates a Housing First approach from other strategies is that there is an immediate and primary focus on helping individuals and families quickly access and sustain permanent housing. This approach has the benefit of being consistent with what most people experiencing homelessness want and seek help to achieve. Housing First programs share critical elements. • There is a focus on helping individuals and families access and sustain rental housing as quickly as possible and the housing is not time-limited; • A variety of services are delivered primarily following a housing placement to promote housing stability and individual well-being;
• Such services are time-limited or long-term depending upon individual need; and
• Housing is not contingent on compliance with services - instead, participants must comply with a standard lease agreement and are provided with the services and supports that are necessary to help them do so successfully.

Research has proven that supportive housing is a cost-effective solution to homelessness, particularly for people experiencing chronic homelessness. Study after study has shown that supportive housing not only resolves homelessness and increases housing stability, but also improves health and lowers public costs by reducing the use of publicly funded crisis services, including shelters, hospitals, psychiatric centers, jails, and prisons.

D. Rapid Rehousing
Rapid re-housing is an intervention designed to help individuals and families quickly exit homelessness and return to permanent housing. Rapid re-housing assistance is offered without preconditions - like employment, income, absence of criminal record, or sobriety - and the resources and services provided are tailored to the unique needs of the household.
• Rapid re-housing has the following core components:
o Housing Identification
o Recruit landlords to provide housing opportunities for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
o Address potential barriers to landlord participation such as concern about short term nature of rental assistance and tenant qualifications. o Assist households to find and secure appropriate rental housing. o Rent and Move-In Assistance
o Provide assistance to cover move-in costs, deposits, and the rental and/or utility assistance (typically six months or less) necessary to allow individuals and families to move immediately out of homelessness and to stabilize in permanent housing.
o Rapid Re-Housing Case Management and Services
o Help individuals and families experiencing homelessness identify and select among various permanent housing options based on their unique needs, preferences, and financial resources.
o Help individuals and families experiencing homelessness address issues that may impede access to housing (such as credit history, arrears, and legal issues).
o Help individuals and families negotiate manageable and appropriate lease agreements with landlords.
o Make appropriate and time-limited services and supports available to families and individuals to allow them to stabilize quickly in permanent housing.
o Monitor participants' housing stability and be available to resolve crises, at a minimum during the time rapid re-housing assistance is provided. o Provide or assist the household with connections to resources that help them improve their safety and well-being and achieve their long-term goals.

This includes providing or ensuring that the household has access to resources related to benefits, employment, and community-based services (if needed and appropriate), so that they can sustain rent payments independently when rental assistance ends.

E. Recovery Residence:

For the purposes of this section, "recovery residence" means a residential dwelling that provides primary housing for individuals who seek a cooperative living arrangement that supports personal recovery from a substance use disorder and that does not require licensure by the department or does not provide licensable services.

A recovery residence may include, but is not limited to, residential dwellings commonly referred to as "sober living homes," "sober living environments," or "unlicensed alcohol and drug free residences." *** (HSC 11833.05. (c) F. Sober Living Homes
A supportive alcohol and drug free living environment for individuals attempting to maintain abstinence from alcohol or drugs in their life. Such programs do not mandate treatment but strongly encourage participation in 12-step support groups. These group living environments offer transitional space for people living incarceration, formal addiction treatment centers or other residential placement. They typically employ house rules which may include curfews, house chores or duties and other rules related to conduct. The participant is generally responsible for their rent and encouraged to work and engage in all other normal life functions from within a peersupported environment.

G. Transitional Housing
Transitional Housing: a project that is designed to provide housing and appropriate supportive services to homeless persons to facilitate movement to independent living.

The housing is short-term, typically less than 24 months. In addition to providing safe housing for those in need, other services are available to help participants become self-sufficient.

Source: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Process Evaluation13
The purpose of the process evaluation is to assess how program activities are being carried out in accordance with goals and objectives. Process measures are designed to answer the question: "What is the program actually doing and is this what we planned it to do?" Examples of process measures could include:
• Project staff have been recruited, hired and trained according to the proposal. • Activities/strategies have been implemented on time according to the proposal. • Number of interagency agreements entered into by the program compared to the number planned.
• Number of trainings conducted.
• Number of neighborhood meetings conducted.

The purpose of the outcome evaluation is to identify whether the program "worked" in terms of achieving its goals and objectives. Outcome measures are designed to answer the question: "What results did the program produce?"
Examples of outcome measures include:
• Results of pre/post surveys (e.g., changes in the reported confidence/trust in law enforcement among community members).
• Implementation of regular, ongoing community forums where law enforcement/community dialogue takes place.
• Changes in policies at the Lead Agency level to reflect procedural justice principles.

In an evidence-based practice approach, outcome evaluations must include not only the measures but also analysis of the extent to which the measured results can be attributed to the program rather than to coincidence or alternative explanations Mental Health Services (Examples)
• Outreach and Engagement
• Precrisis and Crisis Services.
• Comprehensive Evaluation and Assessment.
• Individual Service Plan.
• Medication Education and Management.
• Case Management.
• Twenty-four Hour Treatment Services.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, "A program, organization, or system that is trauma-informed:
• Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery;
• Recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families , staff, and others involved with the system;
• Responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and
• Seeks to actively resist re-traumatization
SAMHSA's concept of trauma-informed care is guided by six key principles:
• Safety
• Trustworthiness and transparency
• Peer support
• Collaboration and mutuality
• Empowerment, voice and choice
• Cultural, historical, and gender issues

BSCC also requires that all grant recipients include, as a condition of award to a subgrantee or subcontractor, a requirement that the subgrantee or subcontractor will provide the same assurances to the grant recipient. If a grant recipient wishes to consider a subgrantee or subcontractor that has been debarred or convicted, the grant recipient must submit a written request for exception to the BSCC along with supporting documentation.

We will notify the BSCC should such debarment or conviction occur during the term of the Grant contract. [ ] I/We will hold subgrantees and subcontractors to these same requirements.

A grantee may make a request in writing to the Executive Director of the BSCC for an exception to the debarment policy. Any determination made by the Executive Director shall be made in writing .

1. GRANT AGREEMENT - PROPOSITION 47 GRANT PROGRAM
City of Bakersfield
BSCC 1314-24

This Grant Agreement is between the State of California, Board of State and Community Corrections (hereafter referred to as BSCC) and City of Bakersfield {hereafter referred to as the Grantee or Contractor).

2. PROJECT SUMMARY AND ADMINISTRATION
A. The City of Bakersfield's Proposition 4 7 Grant Program proposal addresses homelessness through targeted interventions. Bakersfield, in Kern County, has a diverse population and high poverty rates, with a significant rise in homelessness, up 43.27% as of 2024 compared to prepandemic levels. The proposal aligns with proposition 4 7's goals of rehabilitation and restorative justice, focusing on three main objectives: addressing the parole to the homeless pipeline, strengthening support services, and increasing transitions to permanent housing. Key strategies include intensive case management and warm handoff reentry services for individuals with a history of mental health and substance use disorders. The project emphasizes comprehensive support through mental health services, substance use treatment, and prearrest diversion. The proposed initiative aims to address homelessness by supporting reintegration and providing individualized care, moving away from punitive measures.

8. Grantee agrees to administer the project in accordance with Attachment 1: Proposition 4 7 Grant Program Request for Proposals (incorporated by reference) and Attachment 2: Proposition 47 Grant Program Proposal, which are attached and hereto and made part of this agreement.

3. PROJECT OFFICIALS

City of Bakersfield
BSCC 1314-24

A. In no event shall the BSCC be obligated to pay any amount in excess of the grant award.

Grantee waives any and all claims against the BSCC, and the State of California on account of project costs that may exceed the sum of the grant award.

B. Under no circumstance will a budget item change be authorized that would cause the project to exceed the amount of the grant award identified in this Grant Agreement.

3. BUDGET CONTINGENCY CLAUSE
A. This grant agreement is valid and enforceable only if sufficient funds are made available through the annual transfer of savings generated by Proposition 4 7 from the General Fund to the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund and subsequent transfer from the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund to the Second Chance Fund. (Gov. Code, § 7599.1 & Pen. Code, § 6046.2.) On or before July 31st of each fiscal year the Department of Finance will calculate the state savings associated with Proposition 4 7 and certify the calculation to the State Controller who shall transfer those funds to the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund. (Gov. Code,§ 7599.1.) The grantee agrees that the BSCC's obligation to pay any sum to the grantee under any provision of this agreement is contingent upon the availability of sufficient funding transferred to the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Fund and subsequent transfer to the Second Chance Fund.

B. If Proposition 47 funding is reduced or falls below estimates contained within the Proposition 47 Request for Proposals, the BSCC shall have the option to either cancel this Grant Agreement with no liability occurring to the BSCC or offer an amendment to this agreement to the Grantee to reflect a reduced amount.

C. If BSCC cancels the agreement pursuant to Paragraph 3(B) or Grantee does not agree to an amendment in accordance with the option provided by Paragraph 3(8), it is mutually agreed that the Grant Agreement shall have no further force and effect. In this event, the BSCC shall have no liability to pay any funds whatsoever to Grantee or to furnish any other considerations under this Agreement and Grantee shall not be obligated to perform any provisions of this Grant Agreement except that Grantee shall be required to maintain all project records required by Paragraph 6 of Exhibit A for a period of three (3) years following the termination of this agreement.

4. PROJECT COSTS
A. Grantee is responsible for ensuring that actual expenditures are for eligible project costs. "Eligible" and "ineligible" project costs are set forth in the July 2023 BSCC Grant Administration Guide.

B. The provisions of the BSCC Grant Administration Guide are incorporated by reference into this agreement and Grantee shall be responsible for adhering to the requirements set forth therein.

To the extent any of the provisions of the BSCC Grant Administration Guide and this agreement conflict, the language in this agreement shall prevail.

Bakersfield Homeless Services and Prevention Initiative The City of Bakersfield's Proposition 47 Grant Program proposal addresses homelessness through targeted interventions. Bakersfield, in Kern County, has a diverse population and high poverty rates, with a significant rise in homelessness, up 43.27% as of 2024 compared to prepandemic levels. The proposal aligns with Proposition 47's goals of rehabilitation and restorative justice, focusing on three main objectives:
addressing the parole to homeless pipeline, strengthening support services, and increasing transitions to permanent housing. Key strategies include intensive case management and warm handoff reentry services for individuals with a history of mental health and substance use disorders.

The project emphasizes comprehensive support through mental health services, substance use treatment, and pre-arrest diversion. The proposed initiative aims to address homelessness by supporting reintegration and providing individualized care, moving away from punitive measures.

Bakersfield, located in Kem County, is the ninth largest city in the state of California, with a total population of 403,455 according to the 2020 U.S.

Census data. The community is diverse, with 51.1 % of residents identifying as Hispanic or Latino, 31.4% of residents identifying as White, 7.4% of residents identifying as Black or African American, and 7.3% of residents identifying as Asian. Bakersfield has historically struggled with chronically high poverty rates, with 16.5% of residents living below the federal poverty line and a per capita income of just $31,892 (well below the state average of $45,591).

The City of Bakersfield is grappling with a sharp increase in the local homeless population. In 2023 the City's unsheltered homeless population surpassed its pre-pandemic mark, and then increased by 43.27% between the 2023 and 2024 PIT counts. The 2024 Point-in-lime (PIT} Count measured the City of Bakersfield's unsheltered homeless population at 1,202. This accounts for 72.28% of Kem County's total unsheltered population. Analysis of local Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) data shows that the number of households being served by Kem County's homeless system of care increased by 40.35% from 2018 to 2022-demonstrating a long-term trend. In 2022, the HMIS tallied a total of 4,876 households in Kem County that were served by the local homeless system of care.

To support local efforts to respond to this dramatic increase in homelessness, the City of Bakersfield funded the development of a Homeless Strategic Action Plan. Development of the Action Plan was spearheaded by the Bakersfield-Kem Regional Homeless Collaborative, the organization that serves as the local Continuum of Care, and a stakeholder committee representing homeless service organizations in Kern County. Recently finalized and adopted in May 2024, the Action Plan plan outlines three overarching goals for the county's efforts to address homelessness: (1) reducing the number of people and families flowing into the homeless system of care; (2} strengthening services to support the people and families who do experience homelessness; and (3) increasing the number of people and families who exit the homeless system of care to permanent and stable housing arrangements.

Additionally, the City of Bakersfield is making additional investments to strengthen local capacity to address homelessness by funding the construction of two brand new homeless shelters, creating 528 new shelter beds since 2018 (with another 250 beds in the pipeline}, placing Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 psychiatrists in all four homeless shelters located in the City, launching a Mental Health Call Diversion Program to resolve mental health-related calls for service without law enforcement involvement, creating the Community Vitality Unit at the Bakersfield Police Department to centralize the City's homeless response, and creating an Affordable Housing Trust Fund to support the development of new affordable units in Bakersfield. Despite the progress being made in Bakersfield to expand the local homeless system of care, there are still outstanding service gaps that require additional funding.

This proposal seeks to address two significant gaps in the current homeless system of care. The first service gap is a lack of resources to provide intensive and targeted case management services that are necessary to provide support for the chronically homeless population with substance use and/or behavioral health disorders that drive a significant portion of calls for service in the area. In March 2024, the Bakersfield Police Department's Community Vitality Unit (CW) responded to 752 calls for service and handled an average of 162 unique contacts with homeless individuals per week. The Community Vitality Unit offers homeless individuals the opportunity to participate in services as a form of pre-arrest diversion. Homeless street outreach and family reunification services are provided by Flood Ministries, a local nonprofit that has been working with the homeless population in Bakersfield since 2008. For intensive case management services, the target population includes homeless individuals with mental health, substance abuse, or co-occurring issues with a priority given to individuals willing to participate in services that have been the subject of multiple calls for service. Over the past six months, an average of 36 homeless individuals were booked multiple times each month. This stat is regularly reported by the Bakersfield Police Department on a monthly basis.

The second gap in service is the lack of funding to sustain warm handoff and reentry services for parolees in Kem County. In recent years, Kern County has grappled with an influx of parolees being routed to the region by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). In 2023, 523 individuals were paroled to Kern County. Based on anecdotal reports from Reentry Workers supporting this population, many of these individuals reportedly have no previous connection to the area which places them at a high risk of becoming homeless without proper support in place. For reentry services, the target population is parolees being released into Kern County by CDCR that have a history of mental health, substance use, or co-occurring issues.

Results from the 2024 PIT Count show a significant overrepresentation of African Americans in Kern County's homeless population, with 15.3% of the homeless population identified in the 2024 PIT Count as African American compared to 6.3% of the county's total population. To address the needs of underserved populations in the community, the City of Bakersfield will implement targeted outreach and service strategies specifically designed to mitigate disparities based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and immigration status. The program will incorporate cultural competency training for all staff members to ensure services are delivered with sensitivity and respect for diverse backgrounds. Specialized outreach efforts will be conducted to engage communities disproportionately affected Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Section 2.

Community
Engagement
by homelessness and the criminal justice system, including communities of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. Additionally, partnerships with local organizations serving immigrant populations will facilitate access to services for those with varied immigration statuses. By prioritizing these efforts, the City of Bakersfield aims to provide inclusive and empowering services that address the unique needs of all underserved populations within the community.

The Proposition 47 grant requires all applicants to incorporate mental health services, substance use disorder treatment, diversion programs, or some combination thereof, in alignment with the intent of Proposition 47 which is to shift away from penalizing mental illness and addiction to instead focus on rehabilitation and restorative justice. In June 2023, the Benioff Homeless and Housing Initiatives at the University of San Francisco (UCSF) published a comprehensive statewide study of people experiencing homelessness titled "Towards a New Understanding." UCSF's research found that 19% of participants surveyed entered homelessness directly from an institutional setting, and only 14% of those returning from prison received support to find housing. These findings establish a clear pathway from incarceration to homelessness. The research also delved into the topics of mental health conditions and substance use. 29% of participants surveyed reported using illicit drugs in the six months prior to becoming homeless. Half of the participants reported experiencing significant depression or anxiety in that timeframe. The report also found that 40% of California's homeless population experiencing a current mental health condition reported regular illicit drug or heavy alcohol use.

The proposed target population supports the goals of Proposition 4 7 by supporting successful reintegration for parolees who have been impacted by the justice system and by deploying a high touch, hands-on intensive case management model to rehabilitate and reintegrate homeless individuals that are suffering from mental illness and addiction. In doing so, the City of Bakersfield seeks to address the local homelessness crisis by embracing wrap-around services and individualized support that treats the needs of the whole person rather than defaulting to punitive measures and incarceration.

The proposed project activities align with the goals and objectives outlined in the Kern County Homeless Strategic Action Plan. The Action Plan was closely vetted and revised based on feedback from the Collaborative's 17 subcommittees. To provide oversight of local Proposition 47 Grant implementation efforts, the City of Bakersfield will form a Local Advisory Committee that includes the Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative's Executive Board, the City's Referral Network, and community member representatives.

The Bakersfield-Kern Regional Homeless Collaborative includes 44 public and nonprofit service agencies with an Executive Board that is composed of nine members, four of which are elected by organizations that participate in the collaborative. Members of the Executive Board will serve on the Local Advisory Committee. Leveraging the Collaborative's democratic process to support the Local Advisory Committee ensures a fair process for organizations who wish to participate.

Section 3. Project The goals and activities outlined in this proposal directly align with the Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Description Homeless Strategic Action Plan, addressing the Plan's overarching goals to reduce inflow, strengthen supportive services, and increase outflow from the homeless system of care. Upon execution of the grant award agreement, the City of Bakersfield will immediately issue a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) for intensive case management and reentry services and invite qualified non-governmental organizations throughout the Central Valley to apply. Nonprofits will be able to apply to perform one or both of the requested service categories, and services may be contracted using either a single vendor or two separate vendors based on the results of the RFP.

Goal 1: Reduce the number of justice-impacted individuals that enter homeless system of care.

The City of Bakersfield will use Proposition 47 funds for reentry services supporting individuals being paroled to Kem County by CDCR who have a history of mental health, substance use, or co-occurring issues. The Warm Handoff and Reentry Services Program will use a multi-modal intervention strategy targeting known risk factors for homelessness and recidivism, including housing stability, employment, and mental health. Case Managers will use a strengths-based approach model that addresses immediate needs upon release and facilitates personal change to ensure selfsufficiency upon program exit. Active case management service will be provided for a period of 12 months, and an additional 12 months of aftercare follow-up with periodic contact. Two Case Managers will maintain caseloads of 35 active individuals. An additional 0.5 FTE Case Manager position will be dedicated to focus on individuals with low needs and providing after-care support. This will expand capacity by allowing the Case Managers to focus specifically on their active clients. Over the three year performance period, the City anticipates serving 600 individuals through warm handoff and reentry services.

Goal 2: Strengthen supportive services for justice-impacted individuals that suffer from homelessness.

The City of Bakersfield will use Proposition 47 funds to provide intensive case management services for homeless individuals with mental health, substance abuse, or co-occurring issues with a priority given to individuals willing to participate in services that have been the subject of multiple calls for service. Intensive case management is a client-centered, highly personalized, and high-touch approach to support individuals with complex needs. Under the intensive case management model, dedicated case managers work closely with a small caseload of clients. The proposed program will maintain a caseload of 15 clients per case manager, with a total of three Case Manager positions. Case Managers will provide intensive case management to each individual for up to 12 months, with an additional 12 months of periodic check-ins to provide after-care support.

Immediate contact will be made with the client once assigned and the Case Manager will have an in-person connection with each new client within 48 hours. If an individual is making progress but still requires a high touch approach at the 12 month mark, intensive case management services may be extended for an additional 6 months on a case-by-case basis. Over the three year performance period, the City anticipates providing intensive Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 case management for 135 individuals.

Goal 3: Reduce the number of justice-impacted individuals who are homeless.

The City of Bakersfield adheres to the Housing First model, which prioritizes placement in housing as the first primary goal of supportive service delivery. To accomplish this goal, the proposed budget includes funding to hire a 1 FTE Housing Navigator position. Funds for this position may be split accordingly between two service providers, if two separate providers are selected based on the results of the RFP process. The Housing Navigator will work with clients being served through the intensive case management and reentry programs to facilitate successful placement into bridge housing, transitional housing, and permanent housing.

Currently, there are five (5) beds set aside at the Brundage Lane Navigation Center to support individuals referred by the Community Vitality Unit. The City of Bakersfield will set aside an additional ten (10) beds at the Navigation Center for individuals being supported by the case management services funded through the Proposition 4 7 grant, and the City will be able to leverage the existing set aside beds to support the target population based on availability. This approach deploys the Navigation Center as a bridge housing option, providing safe, short-term temporary shelter/housing while the Housing Navigator works with the client to secure a permanent housing placement.

Referral and Needs Assessment Process
Kern County's homeless system of care deploys a "no wrong door'' approach to initiating services, which allows individuals to enter the system of care through interactions with staff at homeless shelters, common community access points, 211, and street outreach. Individuals are immediately offered prevention and diversion services, shelter placements (when available}, and case management and supportive services. Then, case workers use the Vulnerability Index and Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI-SPDAT) to assess individual risk and needs.

Use of the VI-SPDAT tool is a standardized practice county-wide. Each individual's VI-SPDAT results are then entered into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Individuals identified as having a moderate or severe service need are prioritized for supportive services through the Homeless System of Care and are placed on a "By Names List" that is shared between all participating organizations in the Continuum of Care.

Dispatchers triage calls and make referrals to CVU and/or the City's contracted Street Outreach team for issues that do not require law enforcement contact. Working collaboratively with the CVU, the Flood Ministries Street Outreach Team will make referrals for intensive case management services for individuals that align with the proposed target population. Flood Ministries has an established referral system with Mercy House, the City's contracted emergency shelter operator, to facilitate shelter bed placements. This approach provides a centralized intake process for the City's homeless services. The CVU coordinates closely Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 with Flood Ministries (street outreach), Mercy House (emergency shelter operations), and Kern Behavioral Health and Recovery Services through the City's Referral Network. Case Managers providing intensive case management services will be embedded with the CW, with the Cityemployed Administrative Analyst II supervising service delivery.

Service Delivery Approach
Case Managers will develop individualized Service Plans for clients based on the results of the VI-SPDAT and work to connect individuals with local supportive services that align with their specific needs and risk factors.

This includes enrollment in social support programs such as CalFresh, Medi-Cal, and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for those who qualify; job placement and training programs; mental health and substance use treatment programs; legal assistance; immigration/naturalization legal services; clothing closets; and family reunification support. Case Managers will work with clients to obtain copies of birth certificates and other identifying documents when necessary, assist with transportation to appointments and shelter, and perform weekly check-ins with clients (with frequency decreasing as the client makes progress towards selfsufficiency).

The proposed service delivery approach will build upon the City's ongoing commitment to deploy best practices to address the underlying individual barriers that contribute to recidivism and relapse into homelessness. Case management services provided through the Brundage Lane Navigation Center, which will be used as a model for this project, incorporate strengths-based approaches, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and harm reduction. These priorities will be woven into the RFP, and the City will score proposals based on the following qualifications:

The ability to provide bilingual services for the Spanish-speaking population.

A commitment to providing training for all grant-funded positions covering best practices for trauma-informed care, cultural competency, motivational interviewing, strengths-based approaches, harm reduction, and implicit bias.

Efforts to recruit people with lived experience or who are justice systemimpacted to fill positions.

Adherence to the Housing First model.

Demonstrated ability and capacity to successfully match people with services and move them into permanent housing.

Ability to provide services for people with disabilities and ensure MJA compatibility.

Integration with the Coordinated Entry System (CES) and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).

Commitment to supporting the City's existing pre-arrest diversion model.

Ability to collect data necessary to support the Proposition 47 Grant's requirements and the Local Evaluation Plan.

Readiness to begin service provision and minimize startup time.

Alignment with Proposition 47's Guiding Principles
Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Bibliography
(optional)
The proposed goals, objectives, and activities meaningfully advance the guiding principles of the Proposition 47 Grant Program by integrating rehabilitation and restorative practices into the City of Bakersfield's multipronged efforts to address homelessness. The proposed activities apply restorative justice principles by shifting the focus from punishing the homeless population to providing the opportunity to engage in supportive services as a form of pre-diversion, healing the impacted community through rehabilitation and reintegration as the homeless become formerly unhoused.

Leveraged Funding
Over the past four fiscal years, the City of Bakersfield has invested $90,526,569 in local, state, and federal funds to support its response to the homelessness crisis. For FY 23-24, 75.38% of funds spent to support the City's homelessness response efforts came from the City of Bakersfield's local Public Safety and Vital Services (PSVS) sales tax revenue. These investments include a $6,900,000 allocation of PSVS funds for land acquisition and construction of the Brundage Lane Navigation Center in FY 20-21 and an additional $6,970,263 allocation of PSVS and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds in FY 22-23 to expand the Brundage Lane Navigation Center.

To support the successful implementation of the proposed Proposition 47 Grant activities, the City of Bakersfield will leverage the following investments funded by PSVS:

Flood Ministries Homeless Street Outreach: $300,000 per year.

Mercy House Shelter Operations: Budgeted at $6,210,264.42 for a fouryear service agreement that began in FY 23-24.

City of Bakersfield Homeless Services Staff: Budgeted at $270,000 for FY 23-24.

Once a draft is developed, it will be presented to the Local Advisory Committee (LAC) for feedback and the final draft LEP will be adopted by a vote of the LAC no later than March 2025. The LEP will serve as the framework for the evaluation, defining the project-specific data collection processes and outlining the methodology and control group for evaluating Docusign Envelope ID: 27O67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 the project's goals and objectives, culminating in the Local Evaluation Report that will be completed and submitted to the BSCC no later than June 30, 2028. The Administrative Analyst will be responsible for ensuring timely collection and reporting of data and coordinating with the independent evaluator.

Partnered NGO's will work with the independent evaluator to review data collection processes to ensure that necessary data points are being collected to support the LEP. The collection of client information for quarterly reporting will be integrated into the intake process. These metrics will be reported quarterly to the BSCC and will be submitted de-identified, and will include:

Docusign Envelope ID: 27D67330-B342-8F8E-8072-C93CFCD77C05 Describe the preliminary research plan for how the applicant will collect and evaluate baseline and outcome data related to the process and outcome indicators identified in 4.2. Describe a plan for entering into data sharing agreements, including agreements to obtain recidivism data.

Recidivism data will be collected and reported annually. The Administrative Analyst, working with the independent evaluator, will be responsible for coordinating with the California Department of Justice to request Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) data for program participants to collect data for arrests and convictions. This will be achieved by completing the Standard Data Request Application, which will indicate that the requested data is required for reporting purposes of the Proposition 47 Grant through the BSCC. The evaluator will conduct bivariate analyses to identify any trends in recidivism data and, in the Final Evaluation Report, compare recidivism rates for program completers to the population of individuals who decline to participate in the services provided and the individuals who exit the program without completing. The LEP will define the appropriate parameters for measuring the control groups of individuals not receiving services and individuals who were either not placed in housing or dropped out of their housing placements to establish a baseline for the analysis to compare recidivism rates.

FOREWORD
The BSCC Grant Administration Guide (Guide) is intended to help Grantees comply with the terms and conditions that apply to all BSCC grant-funded projects. This Guide supersedes the 2020 version.

All BSCC grant-funded projects must comply with the terms of the grant program under which they are funded. Such terms refer to all requirements as defined by the Grant Agreements, applicable program guidelines contained in the Request for Proposals (RFP) and Request for Applications (RFA), applicable state and federal statutes, and other written directives from the BSCC. At any time, the BSCC may modify and/or impose additional conditions not outlined in this guide when deemed appropriate.

If you have any questions regarding the content in this grant guide, please refer to the RFP, grant agreement, or contact your field representative directly.

This Guide can be accessed and downloaded from the BSCC website at www.bscc.ca.gov.

OVERVIEW
The Board of State and Community Corrections
Established in 2012, the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) is an independent statutory agency that provides leadership to the adult and juvenile criminal justice systems, expertise on Public Safety Realignment issues, a data and information clearinghouse, and technical assistance on a wide range of community corrections issues. (Cal. Pen. Code §§ 6024- 6025.) In addition, the BSCC promulgates regulations for adult and juvenile detention facilities, conducts regular inspections of those facilities, develops standards for the selection and training of local corrections and probation officers, and administers significant public safety-related grant funding.

Policy for the agency is set by the 13-member Board of State and Community Corrections, whose members are prescribed by statute, appointed by the Governor and the Legislature, and subject to approval by the state Senate. The Board Chair reports directly to the Governor.

Corrections Planning and Grant Programs Division
The Corrections Planning and Grant Programs (CPGP) Division develops, administers and evaluates programs designed to improve the effectiveness of state and local government agencies, as well as the private sector and nonprofit service providers, to foster collaborative approaches for addressing crime and delinquency by fair and equitable approaches. Division staff provides extensive technical assistance and training to state and local agencies as well as grantees.

We are happy to respond to any questions not covered by this Guide and we welcome any suggestion to improve the Guide. Please feel free to contact your designated Field Representative.
