RECOMMENDATION
AGENDA REPORT
Staff Recommends That The City Council Adopt A Resolution To Authorize The City Administrator To Execute Grant Agreements With Twenty-Four Non-Profit Organizations And Public Agencies To Provide Violence Prevention And Intervention Services For The Period Of October 1, 2023, To June 30, 2025, In A Total Amount Not To Exceed Twenty- Eight Million Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($28,087,500), With The Ability To Extend Agreements For An Additional Three Months In Amount Not To Exceed Four Million Eight Hundred Sixteen Thousand Four Hundred Eighty Dollars ($4,816,480) Contingent On Available Funds.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposed resolution will authorize the City Administrator to execute 52 grant agreements with 24 non-profit organizations and public agencies to deliver violence prevention and intervention services on behalf of the Department of Violence Prevention (DVP) for the period of October 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025, for a total cost of $28,087,500. These grants will be supported by $22,688,750 from Measure Z and $5,398,750 from the General Purpose Fund.
This resolution also authorizes the City Administrator to extend grant agreements for three months through September 30, 2025, for an additional amount of $4,816,480 if funds are appropriated due to a new ballot measure being authorized by voters in November 2024.
The proposed resolution will help to achieve two important goals:
1. Assuming that Measure Z is reauthorized in November 2024 and grant agreements are extended through September 30, 2025, it will establish a two-year cycle for DVP grant awards that begins on October 1
st and ends on September 30th, in contrast to a one-year cycle that begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th. This two-year, October-to- September cycle aligns with the City of Oakland’s biennial budget, but it is offset by three months so that DVP grant awards always reflect a finalized City of Oakland budget.
2. In the face of a historic citywide funding deficit and the need to cut $4.3 million from DVP grants through June 30, 2025, it preserves funding for critical violence prevention and intervention strategies that lack alternative funding sources, including violence TO: Jestin D.

BACKGROUND / LEGISLATIVE HISTORY
Measure Z. In 2014, Oakland voters passed the Public Safety and Services Violence Prevention Act, also known as Measure Z, which imposed a special parcel tax and a parking surcharge tax to fund services in pursuit of the following three objectives:
1. Reduce homicides, robberies, burglaries, and gun-related violence.
2. Improve police and fire emergency 911 response times and other police services.
3. Invest in violence prevention and intervention strategies that support at-risk youth and young adults to interrupt the cycle of violence and recidivism.
Measure Z raised over $26 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22. Two million dollars was allocated to improve fire response services, $700,000 was allocated to audit and evaluation services, $12 million was allocated to the Oakland Police Department for violence reduction efforts, and $13.7 million was allocated to the DVP for community-based violence prevention and intervention services.
Measure Z emphasizes the coordination of public systems and community-based services in the administration of violence prevention and intervention strategies, and it places a focus on youth and young adults at the highest risk of violence. It also establishes a Public Safety and Services Violence Prevention Oversight Commission (SSOC) that oversees Measure Z spending by the DVP, Oakland Police Department, and Oakland Fire Department and makes recommendations to the Mayor and City Council regarding Measure Z expenditures. Measure Z will sunset in December 2024.
DVP 2022-2024 Strategic Spending Plan. Every two to three years, the DVP prepares a spending plan that outlines the strategies and services it intends to implement during the next funding cycle. Table 1 presents the strategic investment areas for the DVP 2022-2024 Strategic Spending Plan. By working to fulfill these goals, DVP also seeks to contribute to citywide reductions in racial disparities related to gun violence, family violence, and commercial sexual exploitation.

The DVP 2022-2024 Strategic Spending Plan also details a theory of change that is based on the following public health premises:
• Services and programs should focus on specific neighborhoods of Oakland with underlying conditions that generate the highest rates of violence. • Services and programs should focus on specific people who are determined to be at the center of violence (tertiary), at risk for violence (secondary), and exposed/adjacent to violence (primary).
• Services and programs should be delivered at times of day and during days of the week when violence is most likely to occur.
• Services and programs should simultaneously be delivered to the individual, peer, family, and community levels.
In developing the 2022-2024 Strategic Spending Plan, the DVP conducted community listening sessions and worked closely with public partners to create the framework and recommendations for funding allocations.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 Grant Agreements. FY22-23 grant agreements resulted from a competitive request for qualifications (RFQ) process that was developed in alignment with the DVP 2022-2024 Strategic Spending Plan. Grant agreements were awarded to 35 agencies for a total of $20,100,000. Initial FY22-23 grant agreements were approved by the SSOC on May 23, 2022, and by City Council on June 21, 2022 (Resolution No. 89273 C.M.S. and Resolution No. 89462 C.M.S.) for the period of July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, in the amount of $19,350,000. The DVP later added $750,000 to FY22-23 grant agreements to fully fund Summer 2023 Town Nights events at nine sites for six weeks. City Council approved this on March 21, 2023 (Resolution No. 89648 C.M.S.).
On May 22, 2023, the SSOC approved an extension of all existing grant agreements at their current funding levels for three months – through September 30, 2023. This extension was proposed by the DVP and approved by the SSOC to ensure that: (1) new grant agreements are based on the City of Oakland’s approved FY23-25 budget, and (2) the DVP can provide ample notice to organizations that may receive a reduction or elimination of future funding. The three- month extensions were approved by the Public Safety Committee on June 13, 2023, and by City Council on June 20, 2023 (Resolution No. 89796 C.M.S.). The total cost of these grant extensions was $4,440,500. This three-month extension did not include grants related to Town Nights or the mini grants program since they require a one-year service period.
Information on the service categories funded, funding amounts, and the estimated number of people served for FY22-23 grant agreements is provided in Attachment A.
Funding Available for Grant Agreements from October 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025. On June 26, 2023, the Oakland City Council adopted the FY23-25 Biennial Budget (Resolution No. 89803 C.M.S.), which covers the period of July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025. This budget included $21,038,408 from Measure Z and $8,724,480 from the General Purpose Fund for DVP grants.
Council already allocated $4,440,500 to fund DVP grant extensions for July 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023, leaving $18,330,908 available from Measure Z and $6,991,480 available from the General Purpose Fund for new grants starting on October 1, 2023 ($25,322,388 in total).

To supplement funding available for new grants starting on October 1, 2023, the DVP is committing $2,800,000 from the Measure Z Reserve Fund, $1,557,842 in anticipated Measure Z carryforward funds, and $582,270 in anticipated General Purpose Fund carryforward funds.
Carryforward funds represent money that was previously allocated to DVP staff salaries or grants but went unspent for various reasons. With these additions, the total amount of funding for DVP grants for October 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025, is $30,262,500. Information on the SSOC’s review of available funding is available in the Public Interest and Outreach section of this report.
The DVP is reserving $2,175,000 from this available funding to fund Town Nights events at nine locations for six weeks during Summers 2024 and 2025. The total funding required by agencies to host Town Nights events for both summers is $2,700,000, so this budget requires the DVP to raise $525,000 in private funding ($175,000 for Summer 2024 and $350,000 for Summer 2025) to supplement DVP funding. The DVP will return to council at a later date to seek authority to contract with agencies to operate Town Nights events once private funding has been committed.
The cost of DVP grants at FY22-23 funding levels from October 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025, is $32,375,000. Available funding for this period, considering money reserved for Town Nights, is $28,087,500. DVP grants must, therefore, be reduced by $4,287,500 from FY22-23 funding levels.
ANALYSIS AND POLICY ALTERNATIVES
This resolution authorizes the City Administrator to execute 52 grant agreements with 24 non- profit organizations and public agencies to deliver violence prevention and intervention services from October 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025, for a total cost of $28,087,500. This resolution also authorizes the City Administrator to extend grant agreements for three months through September 30, 2025, for an additional amount of $4,816,480 if funds are appropriated due to a new ballot measure being authorized by voters in November 2024. These actions advance the citywide priority of holistic community safety by funding a wide range of community-based services intended to reduce group-driven violence, gender-based violence, and associated trauma.
This proposal retains FY22-23 funding levels for critical violence prevention and intervention services that lack alternative funding sources and are most proximate to reducing violence and related trauma in Oakland. This proposal also adds funding for three GBV specialists within the School VIP Program, which will result in the seven school VIP teams being fully staffed if a grant that the DVP submitted to the Office on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) for three additional violence interrupters is successful. Funded services align with Mayor Thao’s public safety priorities of gun violence, sex trafficking, and school-based programs.
Service categories and direct service positions funded are provided in Table 2 by strategy.

To retain FY22-23 funding levels for the service categories and direct service positions identified in Table 2, the DVP recommends not continuing funding for employment services, which would cost $3,325,000 from October 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025. The DVP values the agencies funded in FY22-23 to provide employment services and recognizes the important role that employment can play in helping individuals achieve self-sufficiency through legal means, thus reducing their risk for violence. The DVP made this difficult decision for two primary reasons:
• Employment services have other funding sources within the City of Oakland and the County of Alameda. In FY22-23, Oakland Fund for Children and Youth allocated $1,660,000 to career access and employment services for opportunity youth, which included funding for three of the DVP’s four FY22-23 youth employment providers.
These three funding providers also receive funding through the City of Oakland’s OaklandForward program, which administers a 2022 state grant for $5,896,000 to fund career pathways for individuals ages 16 to 30. The Oakland Workforce Development Board provides funding for two of the DVP’s four FY22-23 employment providers, which serve as America’s Job Centers of California. The Alameda County Probation Department (ACPD) also funds employment services for youth and adults on probation in Oakland, with three of the DVP’s seven employment providers receiving funding from ACPD.
• Individuals in Oakland at high risk of violence often have pressing service needs related to housing, mental health, and substance use that would reduce their risk of violence if addressed. However, the DVP does not fund these services and instead relies on partnerships with agencies that deliver the services through other funding sources to meet the needs of individuals served by DVP staff or grantees. The DVP is committed to developing strong referral pathways to employment providers for life coaching clients Jestin D. Johnson, City Administrator

and other individuals served through the DVP network who would benefit from employment services.
Additionally, the DVP will continue administering an existing $11.3 million employment grant from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and an existing $176,000 grant from the Oakland Workforce Development Board, both of which fund daily employment for individuals on probation or parole through the Center for Employment Opportunities until June 30, 2025.
The DVP also made the difficult decision to eliminate funding for the mini grants program, administered by Youth Leadership Institute and supported by training and capacity building from Urban Strategies Council, which would cost $1,487,500 from October 1, 2023, to June 30, 2023.
The mini grants program awards $5,000 to $15,000 to individuals and small organizations to implement activities related to changing community norms around violence. Activities funded through mini grants have an inherently limited impact due to their low funding amount, and they are less directly related to reducing gun violence, sex trafficking, and school-based violence than other funded activities.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this resolution will authorize the City Administrator to execute 52 grant agreements with 24 non-profit organizations and public agencies to fund violence prevention and intervention services from October 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025.
Funding allocations are provided in Table 8. Measure Z will fund forty-one awards for a total of $22,688,750. The General Purpose Fund will support eleven awards for a total of $5,398,750.

If a new ballot measure is authorized by voters in November 2024 and additional funds are appropriated to the DVP for grant agreements, this resolution authorizes the City Administrator to extend grant agreements for three months through September 30, 2025, for an additional $4,816,480.
As in previous years, staff recommends that any unexpended balances due to grantees not meeting their deliverables be placed in the Measure Z – Violence Prevention and Public Safety Act of 2014 Fund (2252), Oakland Unite Organization (70211), Measure Z Service Prior Year Reserve Project (1004313), and Measure Z Program (PS37) and/or General Purpose Fund (1010), Oakland Unite Organization (70211), Reimaging Public Safety Project (1006367), and Fostering Safe and Healthy Communities Program (SC22).
Leveraged Funds. The DVP currently maintains seven grants totaling almost $30 million to supplement violence prevention and intervention services funded through Measure Z and the General Purpose Fund. The DVP holds four state grants – two from the Board of State and Community Corrections for a total of $7,499,620 and two from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation for a total of $19,134,347. The DVP also holds two federal grants from the Bureau of Justice Assistance for $1,200,000. Lastly, the DVP has one grant from the Gilead Foundation through the Oakland Fund for Public Innovation for $1,800,000. In May 2023, the DVP submitted a grant to the Office on Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) for $1,000,000 to fund three additional violence interrupters for the School VIP Program for 2.5 school years starting in January 2024.
PUBLIC OUTREACH / INTEREST
DVP staff conducted an intensive public input and planning process to develop the approved DVP 2022- 24 Strategic Spending Plan, based on the proposed grant amendments. The DVP hosted four virtual community town halls from mid-February to mid-April 2021 to solicit input from Oakland residents impacted by violence, stakeholders, and community-based providers.
These town halls averaged 92 attendees per event. In addition, DVP conducted 11 focus groups and 41 interviews with stakeholders, including family members who have lost loved ones to violence, DVP service providers and their program participants (by service strategy), Asian American community advocates, local and national public health and violence prevention experts, members of the Reimagining Public Safety Task Force, and representatives from public partner agencies such as the Alameda County Probation Department and Oakland Unified School District. All listening sessions were designed to provide small groups that maximized input from those in attendance. A range of expertise and lived experience was present in each session, with most attendees identifying as Black or Latinx.
On July 24, 2023
, the DVP presented the funding constraints and recommendations detailed in this agenda report to the SSOC. Specifically, the DVP asked the SSOC to respond to the following questions:
Question 1: Which activities should receive reduced or eliminated funding to achieve the required funding reduction?
Jestin D. Johnson, City Administrator
Subject: DVP FY23-25 Grant Agreements
Date: August 14, 2023 Page 11
Public Safety Committee
September 12, 2023
Question 2: If additional funds are identified during the next contract period, which activities identified for reduced or eliminated funding in Question 1 should be restored? Question 3: Which activities should be funded through Measure Z?
The SSOC unanimously approved a recommendation for the DVP to fully fund all FY22-23 grants from October 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024 (9 months) for a total cost of $12,140,625. The SSOC expressed a hope that additional funding would be identified before June 30, 2024, that would allow DVP grants to subsequently be fully funded at FY22-23 levels for the period of July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, although they were unable to identify additional funding sources. In the absence of additional funding, the SSOC’s recommendation would result in the DVP having to cut $4,287,500 from grants over a one-year period (July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025) instead of over 21 months, which would severely reduce violence prevention and intervention services available during that period. Given the uncertainty of additional funding sources, the DVP recommends applying the required fiscal reduction over a 21-month period to conservatively manage the DVP’s authorized budget. The SSOC did not respond to Questions 2 and 3.
COORDINATION
The City Attorney’s Office, Budget Bureau, City Administrator’s Office, and Mayor’s Office were consulted during the preparation of this agenda report and corresponding resolution. If the proposed funding recommendations are approved, the DVP will lead scope and budget negotiations with all funded agencies to develop scopes of work, budgets, and deliverables from October 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025. The DVP will work closely with funded agencies during the award period to monitor service delivery, troubleshoot issues that arise, and support agencies in delivering services with the expected quality, dose, and reach.
PAST PERFORMANCE, EVALUATION, AND FOLLOW-UP
Evidence-Based Strategies. The violence prevention and intervention strategies detailed in the DVP 2022-2024 Strategic Spending Plan, funded through FY22-23 grants and recommended for funding through FY23-25 grants, were selected due to their demonstration of effectiveness in prior evaluations of work in Oakland, evaluations of programs in other cities, and/or academic research. A high-level overview of the evidence that guides these strategies is provided below.
Life Coaching (Case Management)
• In an evaluation of adult life coaching services funded through Oakland Unite in 2016- 2017, researchers from Mathematica found that individuals who received life coaching or employment and education support services had fewer short-term arrests for a violent offense relative to a comparison group of similar individuals.2

• Youth who received life coaching or employment and education support services had higher rates of school enrollment relative to a comparison group of similar individuals.
Youth who received life coaching also had fewer short-term arrests for violent offenses. 3 • Evaluations of the Roca model of intensive case management for high-risk individuals found that individuals who received services had a 42-46% reduction in recidivism over a three-year period compared to a similar population.4
Violence Interruption
• Multiple evaluations of the Cure Violence model of street outreach and violence interruption in Baltimore, Chicago, and New York have demonstrated significant reductions in shootings and homicides, including a 56% reduction in homicides in Baltimore and a 63% reduction in shooting victimizations in New York City. 5 Hospital Response & Relocation
• An evaluation conducted by Mathematica in 2020 found that participants in hospital- based intervention or temporary emergency relocation programs funded through Oakland Unite were less likely to experience violent re-injury over a two-year period.6 • An evaluation of a hospital-based violence intervention program in Baltimore found that only 5% of individuals who received services were re-hospitalized compared to 36% in the control group.7
GBV Services
• A state-wide study of domestic violence services in Illinois, including hotline services, counseling, advocacy, and shelter, found the effect of services to be relatively small but significant in four major areas: (1) survivors gained important information and enhanced their support systems; (2) survivors perceived an improvement in their decision making; (3) survivors increased their self-efficacy and coping skills; and (4) survivors felt safe while in a shelter.8
• A study on the National Domestic Violence Hotline found that callers and chatters reported the hotline as helping them with safety planning (4.18 average on a scale of 1- 5), increasing their awareness of community resources (4.01 average on a scale of 1-5), and improving their knowledge about abusive relationships (3.87 average on a scale of

1-5). On every metric, individuals contacting the hotline by phone had more favorable responses than those contacting the hotline via chat.9
• A pilot study on shelter support for domestic violence survivors in Pennsylvania showed that women placed in shelters showed more significant improvement and less health care utilization than a control group of women who only received other social supports.10 • A systematic review of trauma-informed therapeutic services, including cognitive- behavioral therapy adapted to intimate partner violence, showed that participation leads to decreases in depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms while helping survivors feel better about their lives.11
Performance Monitoring. The DVP performs the following activities to monitor grantee performance during each funding cycle and ensure that services are being rendered with the expected dose, reach, and frequency:
• During contract negotiations, the DVP establishes metrics for pre-identified deliverables that grantees are expected to meet during the grant award period (e.g., number of participants served, number of groups held).
• At least monthly, grantees must enter data on services rendered into the DVP’s data management system. For individual-level services, grantees must enter information for each individual served rather than summary data for all individuals. Apricot 360 then automatically tabulates grantee progress towards each deliverable based on the data entered. DVP program officers and planners review this data on a quarterly basis. If grantees are falling behind in meeting deliverables before the completion of a contract year, program officers work with grantee staff to identify and troubleshoot the cause of the shortfall to improve performance. A report detailing grantee deliverables and performance for FY22-23 is included as an attachment to this agenda report (Attachment B).
• During the third quarter of every funding year (January to March), DVP program officers and planners conduct site visits to grantee agencies to interview grantee staff, observe programming, and review files and documents related to program delivery. DVP program officers and planners then prepare site visit reports detailing their findings and highlight areas for improvement when applicable.
Impact Evaluation. Measure Z requires an evaluation of funded efforts to be conducted by a third-party independent evaluator. In 2022, the City Administrator’s Office oversaw the process of selecting the current evaluation team, which has Urban Institute as the lead agency and Urban Strategies Council as a subcontractor (Resolution No. 89139 C.M.S ). Urban Institute and Urban
Strategies Council will evaluate services funded through DVP grant agreements with non-profit organizations for FY22-23 and FY23-24. All activities will be included in descriptive analyses

completed through a review of administrative data. The process evaluation component will build an understanding of the implementation of activities that are new or that have not been extensively covered by prior evaluation phases. The outcome evaluation will be tiered based on the evaluability of each intervention type and around the four outcome domains of interest to the City: (1) individuals who have been or are at elevated risk of being perpetrators or victims of violence; (2) their families; (3) schools; and (4) neighborhoods in the City of Oakland.
SUSTAINABLE OPPORTUNITIES
Economic: Programs for Oakland residents affected by violence will improve their economic stability through recidivism reduction, educational achievement, and employment for youth and young adults. Breaking the cycle of violence reduces medical, police, and incarceration costs.
Environmental: Expanding social services and improving opportunities for those most impacted by violence helps make marginalized communities safer, healthier, and stronger. Safer neighborhood conditions contribute to the growth and revitalization of our communities.
Race and Equity: Black residents constitute a majority of homicide victims and a plurality of shooting victims each year. In 2022, Black residents represented 50% of victims who reported domestic violence crimes to the Oakland Police Department. Additionally, Oakland neighborhoods that are most impacted by shootings, homicides, and incidents of gender-based violence are neighborhoods in which a majority of residents are people of color. The violence prevention and intervention services recommended for FY23-25 will disproportionately benefit residents of color in Oakland, particularly Black residents.
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE CITY COUNCIL
Staff Recommends That The City Council Adopt A Resolution To Authorize The City Administrator To Execute Grant Agreements With Twenty-Four Non-Profit Organizations And Public Agencies To Provide Violence Prevention And Intervention Services For The Period Of October 1, 2023, To June 30, 2025, In A Total Amount Not To Exceed Twenty-Eight Million Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($28,087,500), With The Ability To Extend Agreements For An Additional Three Months In Amount Not To Exceed Four Million Eight Hundred Sixteen Thousand Four Hundred Eighty Dollars ($4,816,480) Contingent On Available Funds.

Mini grant activities may include community-building, peer support for survivors of violence, leadership development, or other events and activities to change norms around violence.
▪ Neighborhood and community teams (NACTs). Neighborhood and community teams (NACTs) are groups of individuals who serve as credible messengers and visible ambassadors of the DVP’s network of service providers in the community. NACTs host community events to build social cohesion following violent incidents, refer community members to helpful resources following a shooting or homicide, and conduct regular outreach to residents in order to maintain relationships that can be leveraged to reduce violence.

Deliverable Benchmarks and Performance: Fiscal Year 2022-2023 DVP Grant Agreements
This document presents data on the performance of grantees funded by the Department of Violence Prevention (DVP) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 to deliver violence prevention and intervention services.
Prior to executing FY22-23 grant awards, the DVP established service delivery benchmarks for deliverables in each service category in consultation with grantees (e.g. 150 people served through life coaching). At least quarterly, grantees were required to enter data on services rendered into the DVP’s data management system, and DVP program officers and planners reviewed these data for completeness. This report provides benchmark deliverable values and actual service delivery values for each grantee funded by the DVP in FY22-23. Data are organized by strategy and service category.
In January 2023, the DVP transitioned data management systems from Cityspan to Apricot 360. Since this transition occurred in the middle of the FY22-23 grant cycle, data from July 2022 to January 2023 was transferred from Cityspan to Apricot 360. Due to differences in data formatting between systems, some data may not have transferred properly. Additionally, data entered into Apricot 360 by grantees between January 2023 and June 2023 may not fully capture services rendered due to grantee staff still learning how to enter complete data. For these reasons, the DVP allowed grantee organizations to include service deliverable data in their program narratives if they believed the deliverable valeus calculated through Apricot 360 were incorrect. Beginning on October 1, 2023, the DVP will only review deliverable data calculated through the Apricot 360 when evaluating grantee performance.
Helpful information regarding how to interpret this report is provided below.
▪ Numbers presented as ‘actuals’ are calculated by the data management system based on service data entered by grantee staff.
▪ Numbers in parentheses () with asterisks * are numbers provided by grantees in report narratives when staff believed that data calculated through the data management system were not accurate.
▪ Numbers highlighted in green indicate that the agency is meeting or exceeding their deliverable benchmarks.
▪ Numbers highlighted in yellow indicate that the agency is very close to meeting their deliverable benchmarks.
▪ Numbers highlighted in red indicate that the agency is below or very below meeting their deliverable benchmarks.

1 BOSS and Youth ALIVE! respond to shootings and homicides citywide, whereas CURYJ, CYO, and Trybe only respond in designated catchment areas. Additionally, each agency is assigned days of the week when they are scheduled to respond. Since agencies cannot control how many shootings and homicides take place during their assigned days, the deliverable “number of shooting or homicide scenes responded to” will be changed to “percent of shooting or homicide scenes responded to” for FY23-25 to better measure agency response.
