The GPIT grant program consists of six community-based organizations that serve our community by addressing gang violence. While staff seeks authority to execute supplemental agreements with three of the community-based organizations, the remaining three supplemental agreements are those for which the not-to-exceed amount does not exceed the dollar threshold that requires City Council approval. Those organizations are: Helping Our People Eat, Academics 4 Athletes and Rose Family Creative Empowerment Center.
Policy Considerations: Pursuant to Sacramento City Code section 3.56.290, contract supplements that increase a contract amount to $250,000 or more are subject to City Council authorization.
Economic Impacts: None
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA): The proposed action is not a project under CEQA because it relates to government fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, §§15060(c)(3), 15378(b)(4)). The proposed action involves activities that are exempt from NEPA under title 24, section 58.34, of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Sustainability: None
Commission/Committee Action: None
Rationale for Recommendation: On September 14, 2021, the City Council passed Motion 2021- 0250 authorizing the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee to award $1.3 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 GPIT funding to community-based violence prevention organizations.
Preliminary results of this funding are contained in the GPIT Midyear Progress Report (Attachment 5), provided by the Sacramento County Office of Education. In summary, the organizations provided 352 youth participants with 61,795 hours of supportive services and 87 adults with 6,632 hours of supportive services. Participants received services related to life skills, academic support, and social justice. Each awardee conducted youth participant surveys to ascertain a baseline and collect feedback. Based on those responses, the City learned:
50% reported that they have friends who are in a gang
39% reported that they are likely to get into trouble when around friends 65% reported that they hear gun shots in their neighborhood 40% feel unsafe in their neighborhood or after school
56% reported that violence is normal for their friends

File ID: 2022-01345 7/26/2022 Consent Item 16.
59% reported that violence is normal for their family members 60% reported that violence is normal for their neighborhood Most importantly, youth participants experienced across-the-board positive changes:
82% reported academic improvement
75% reported that they learned about financial literacy 90% reported that they learned leadership skills
88% reported that they have better relationships with others 92% reported that it helped them to think before they act 92% reported that it helped them to make better choices 92% reported that it helped them to believe in a better future for themselves 88% reported that it made them feel like they belonged to something important 91% reported that it helped them to stay safe
90% indicated that they would recommend this program to others Based on this feedback, staff recommends extending the agreements for one additional fiscal year and providing additional funds to the GPIT partners.
Financial Considerations: As part of the FY2022/23 Budget, the City allocated approximately $1.4 million to support violence prevention efforts. From these funds, with City Council approval staff allocated $1 million for the FY2022/23 GPIT grant program. Sufficient funding is available (Measure U Fund, Fund 2401) in the Office of Violence Prevention MYOP (I11003000) to support the recommended contract supplements:

3 Midyear Progress Report
The City of Sacramento (City) has continued funding the Gang Prevention and Intervention Taskforce (GPIT) to reduce violence, gang-related crimes, and gang involvement in the city. Prevention and intervention efforts are aligned with the City’s developed framework (Figure 1) to meet the needs of Sacramento:
• Serve Targeted Populations
• Services Support for Youth, Family, and Community Development • Provide Services in High-Need Geographic Areas
Figure 1. Prevention and Intervention Framework
Through the request for proposal process, the taskforce approved six agencies (Figure 2) to conduct this work during the 2021-2022 year. Evaluation of midyear progress included review of reports and participant surveys. Grant agencies highlighted the work completed to date (July – December 2021) and detailed program participants served, services provided, preliminary survey responses, and program highlights.

4 Youth Participants Served to Date
By December 2021 (midyear reporting), grant agencies reported more than 61,000 hours of program services had been provided to 352 youth. Youth participants were diverse in race/ethnicity (Figure 3), age (Figure 4), and risk level (Figure 5). African American/Black (78%) and Hispanic (17%) youth represented 95% of youth involved in these programs. Most of the youth were between 13 to17 years of age (189) across all target populations and represented the majority in the high-risk and gang-involved groups. Hard-core participants were predominately 25 years old or older. Collectively, high-risk youth represented the largest group served (69%) by all agencies.

Over ninety percent of service hours provided to youth were either academic support/enrichment (32,248 hours, 52%) or life skills/cognitive development (27,942 hours, 45%). This distribution was similar for high-risk and gang-involved youth. For hard- core youth, a slightly higher percent of total services hours was dedicated to social justice (11%) than reported for high-risk or gang-involved youth (Figure 9).

People in Support Roles
In addition to supporting at-risk and gang-involved youth, grant agencies also provided direct services to adults in support roles. By midyear, 87 adults received training and services in life skills, academic support, or social justice: accounting for over 6,000 program service hours (Figure 10). Adults participated or attended healing circles, teen summits, life skills classes, and educational programs. Agencies also provided referrals to school programs, wrap around resources, counseling, employment, financial, or housing assistance, and support systems.

Incidental or Indirect Services
Grant agencies connected with 305 individuals to provide indirect services or information to support gang and violence prevention. Services included event or session attendance, referrals or references to resources for individuals living outside of the city limits, or one-time supports.
Participant Surveys
Grant agencies administered the taskforce program survey (GPIT Participant Survey, Appendix B) throughout the grant period to youth receiving program services. The survey assessed the risk and protective factors of youth who are at risk for gang involvement. The preliminary midyear results are reported as the percent of participants that agreed (strongly agree or agree) with each item on a five-point scale.

8 Survey Respondents
By midyear, a total of 193 surveys had been completed across all 6 agencies. Survey respondents predominately resided across 5 neighborhoods (Del Paso Heights, Fruitridge/Lemon Hill, Meadowview, Oak Park, Valley Hi, and other Sacramento areas), and 70% reported they had participated in the program for more than 3 months. The survey respondents represented a youth population that identified as mostly:
• 17 years are younger (ages 10-13 21% and 14-17 52%)
• African American (68%), Hispanic (16%), or Multiracial (6%), and • Male (66%).
Preliminary survey analysis is organized and reported across the following categories:
• protective factors
• risk factors
• safety
• violence
• vision for the future
• attitudes and beliefs
• program quality, and
• feedback
Protective Factors
Protective factors help to mitigate the likelihood of youth gang involvement and included connections made with supportive adults. Preliminary survey responses indicated that most of the youth had connections to a supportive adult (Figure 11).
Risk Factors
Risk factors highlight behaviors or associations that make youth more vulnerable to gang involvement. Although one factor may not put youth at risk, multiple factors increase the potential for involvement. Preliminary survey results suggest that youth are at high risk for gang involvement. Half of youth respondents indicated that they have friends in a gang (Figure 12).

Figure 11. 80% of youth reported connections to a supportive adult. 9 Safety
Prevention and intervention efforts aim to reduce violence, gang-related crimes, and gang involvement in the city – and thereby increasing youth safety. Preliminary results indicate that nearly 40% of youth felt unsafe in their neighborhood or afterschool (Figure 13).
Violence
The normalization of violence is closely tied to risk for gang involvement, and therefore measures of violence are reported separately from other risk factors. Preliminary survey analysis suggests that nearly 60% of youth experience the normalization of violence across their home, peer, and community (Figure 14).

10 Vision for the Future
Having a strong sense of future and purpose in life provides a level of internalized protective factor. Initial survey analysis reveals that most of the youth have goals for their future (Figure 15).
The survey also provided space for youth to describe a goal that they wanted to complete. Of the 113 responses, the top 3 goals centered around education, career or job, or self-care or self-improvement. Examples of these goals are below, and full responses are in Appendix B.
• Educational goals
o A goal I want to complete is to complete college
o Get good grades and go to college
o I want to finish college and become a mechanic or a[n] engineer. o I want to learn my multiplication facts and be quicker at them. • Professional, career, or job goals
o Become an RN
o becoming a welder and an investor

Attitudes and Beliefs
To assess the impact of programs funded by GPIT, youth participants were asked to reflect on their beliefs and attitudes about violence and gangs before and after program participation. Preliminary results indicated that program participation positively impacting youth’s belief and attitudes. Results reveal an increase in understanding of the risk of gang involvement and worrying about a friend involved in a gang. Results also showed a decrease in beliefs or attitudes that is okay to use threats to get a point across (Figure 16).
Program Quality
The survey also assessed overall program quality. Nearly 100% of youth agreed that the program helped them, and more than 80% specifically indicated that the program was helpful, and they learned about navigating school, self-care and advocacy, staying safe, and having better relationships. Additionally, 90% indicated that they would recommend the program to a peer (Figure 17).

Figure 16. After program participation, more youth indicated that they understood the risk of being in a gang, and less youth indicated that it is okay to threaten others to get a point across.
12 Feedback about the Program
Finally, youth were also given an opportunity to provide overall feedback about the program. About 40% of comments were “no” or “no comments”, the remaining comments expressed appreciation for the program, and suggestions included additional activities, resources, use of space or time, or the inclusion of food. See Appendix B for all responses.
Program Highlights, Impacts, and Challenges
Grant agencies detailed both successes and challenges experienced through the midway point of the grant cycle (July to December 2021). Successes centered around the opportunity to make meaningful and positive connections with youth participants as the community and agencies navigated the challenges from the pandemic.
Summaries and examples are provided below, and full narratives are available in Appendix A.

13 Program Highlights and Impacts
Highlighted across all grant agencies was the opportunity to work with and support youth. Events were hosted and attended by youth and the community, and mental health, employment, and support services were also provided to youth. Two grantees reported being able to partner with additional organizations to provide youth with the services they needed.
Collectively, grantees highlighted the positive change that they (program staff), family, and friends observed in youth through program participation. Specifically, agencies cited the progress in building trust and the continued engagement by youth in the program offerings. One grantee reported there were zero incidents of gang-related or city incidents over the past six months.
Program Challenges
All grant agencies reported that their programs and services were impacted by the pandemic. The evolving risk, restrictions, and policy changes required agencies to adapt to how services and programs could be delivered. In instances where possible, services were delivered outdoors or online via Zoom. There were disruptions in program and service as staffing shortages or quarantine rules were implemented. The pandemic also had an impact on the mental, social, financial, and/or emotional health of some youth and program staff. Even with the challenges, grant agencies continued to provide services to youth.
“We help change people’s outlook on life. We have
received numerous family members and friends
reaching out just to say thank you for the program
and the services provided.” H.O.P.E.
“The level of engagement and responses has
opened pathways for meaningful conversations that
motivate participants to make necessary changes in
their lives.” Impact Sac
“School District COVID-19 guidelines has affected
the way we offer family engagement activities. We
have adapted our engagement activities to include
in-person, virtual, drive-through and a combination
of in-person and virtual.” Rose Family Creative
Empowerment Center
14 Midyear Progress Report Summary
At the midyear reporting term, across all partner agencies, over 61,000 service and program hours were provided to 352 youth in the areas of prevention and intervention.
Additionally, agencies also provided over 6,000 hours to 84 adults in support roles.
Preliminary survey responses indicated that youth participants experienced both protective and risk factors associated with gang involvement. Survey questions about overall program impacts suggested that youth felt the programs were generally and specifically helpful and supportive. In open-ended questions, participants shared their personal goals and expressed appreciation for the programs.
All agencies cited challenges in providing service to youth due to the pandemic.
Despite these challenges, the opportunity to work and support youth represented the highlights and successes in the first reporting period of this grant. Agencies reported that they were able to provide mental health, employment, and support services to program participants.
15 Appendix A: Success Stories and Highlights
Academics 4 Athletes: Brighter Lives Coaching
We have had several successes including breaking down barriers with participants we didn’t expect to reach so soon. Participants are more engaging out in the public because of the trust that we foster in our sessions as well.
I partnered with Brother Be Well to provide some Wellness, and Self Esteem building tools for our participants, many of whom suffer from Anxiety Attacks, and various forms of PTSD related to what they have experienced in their daily lives.
Brother 2 Brother: U-Turn
For the past six months, we have had ZERO gang related incidents in North Sacramento and ZERO inter-community incidents city-wide
Neighborhood Wellness Foundation: LIFTing Generations
Our Educate the Educator events engage cross-sector personnel in educational discussions and workshops.
October 27th: LIFTing Generations, was well attended and received. 100% of respondents to our post-event survey were “very satisfied” with the overall event. 100% responded as “strongly agree” to the following statements: This event provided more clarity to Intergenerational Trauma/Childhood Adversity and it’s impact; I believe where one lives, learns and plays has an impact on the trajectory of a child’s life; I believe my organization can do more to service the DPH neighborhood. 90% responded as “strongly agree” to the following statement: I have a better understanding of the Social Determinants of Health.

Healing Circles: Our Healing Circles continue to be a source of success and growth.
We have averaged about 32 attendees each week. Our heavily gang involved neighbors are consistently attending, as well as Sacramento PD, GET team, and the District Attorney’s Office joining our sessions, with the GET team attending weekly.
See attached letter from Sergeant Zach Eaton with his insight of the impact of the 16 healing circles. We believe this
partnership allows for more impactful community policing.
We had a successful field trip with the youth in the summer Equine Therapy with Sac PD at Hagginwood Park.
We sponsored the Grant Union 6U football team in their pursuit to the State Championship in Florida.
H.O.P.E. Project Turnaround
The Program has become in high demand. We have put 10 people into actual jobs to more positive individuals within different communities. We help change people’s outlook on life. We have received numerous family members and friends reaching out just to say thank you for the program and the services provided, as well as to refer other individuals to this program. The program is continuing to grow well over the original scope of work intended.
Impact Sac
One on one and small group mentoring is going amazingly well. We have exceeded the intended goal of program participants who would receive mentoring and as a result, brought on additional partners to help with the need for services. Initially, we prepared to use a referral-based system to enroll participants in mentoring, however, youth are self-referring and positively responding to personal invites from our program mentors.
Other successes include social media engagement to educate youth on root causes of violence in Sacramento. Using the three components of the violence prevention program, Know Who You Are (posts about self-care and self-worth), Connect Your Power (posts about mental resilience, tutoring, and available resources), Use It For Justice (Posts about social youth justice, Injustices, and self-expression), the level of engagement and responses has opened pathways for meaningful conversations that motivate participants to make necessary changes in their lives.
Rose Family Creative Empowerment Center: South Sacramento Academic Success Program
Through the South Sacramento Academic Success Program, we have been able to place a full-time community intervention worker at John Still K-8 School. This worker supports school site administration daily with youth who have been identified as having behavior or academic challenges are referred to our CIW for additional supports and services.
Our staff also supports the school day by providing additional manpower to assist during times of staffing shortages. They are also addressing the social and emotional needs of the youth due to the effects of the pandemic including social isolation, mental health conditions, long school closures, physical distancing, an uptick in violence and crime, and any other unexpected changes happening in their home life.
