CalVIP Program Narrative
Gang and gun-related violence has been exceptionally high in Salinas, the county seat of Monterey County, over the past 6-7 years. After a noticeable decrease in 2019, homicides, shootings, and aggravated assaults are surging again, particularly among youth and young adults; homicide rose 67% from 2020 to 2021. The Community Safety Division, Salinas Police Department, and community partners Rancho Cielo, Partners for Peace, and the Natividad Foundation are pleased to submit this proposal.
Description of Community Need
Salinas is a mid-size city of 163,542, of which 31% are under 18 and 79% are Hispanic (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, 2021 ). Nearly 19% of our residents live below the poverty level, 70% of Salinas families speak a language other than English at home, and 29% are not U.S. citizens. As a result, many withdraw from community and school life and live with fears of being deported. Young people are continually recruited into gangs, which number at least 22 in Salinas with over 3500 members. Violence in the city is fueled by running conflicts between the Nortenos and Surenos, criminal activities of those in the gang life, and easy access to firearms.
Historically, violence peaked in Salinas in 2015, when there were 40 homicides, 34 the result of shootings, and an unprecedented Part I violent crime rate of 697.7 per 100,000 residents. Amid many prevention, intervention, and suppression strategies shepherded by the Community Alliance for Safety and Peace (CASP) co-chaired by the Mayor of Salinas and District 1 County Supervisor, those very high numbers dropped to 8 homicides in 2019 and a violent crime rate of 480.8 per 100,000. Unfortunately, it appears that 2019 was an outlier year. As shown in Table 1, homicides increased to 15 in 2021, up from 8-9 in the previous two years, and aggravated assaults rose by 13%.
We closely track the Table 1: Part I Violent Crimes in Salinas, 2015-2021 number of fatal and 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

trends over time. They
also follow the trend noted in the Part 1 violent crime statistics, with a major drop in shootings in 2019 followed by a steep rise. The city experienced just five fatal shootings Table 2: Shootings in Salinas, 2015-2021 in 2015 and a 140% 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

COVID arrived in
the county in March 2020 and disproportionality hit Salinas residents and the Hispanic agricultural community. Of the county's 68,854 confirmed cases to date, 44% of them were in Salinas, which has 38% of the county's population. Sheltering-in-place and remote learning highlighted inequities among our residents. Remote learning in our more disadvantaged neighborhoods, particularly East Salinas, is complicated by a lack of internet access, devices, and environments conducive to learning, and school disengagement is a huge concern.
Ongoing crime analysis, shooting reviews, and CASP's strategic planning processes have identified the primary factors that contribute to violence, our main target population, and service gaps. The conclusions of a Problem Analysis of homicides and shootings covering 2010-2013 indicated that Salinas's violence problem is gang violence perpetrated primarily by Hispanic males in their late teens and early 20s with extensive criminal histories (Roehl et al., 2014). In 2017-2019, 38-42% of the known victims in shooting incidents were between 10 and 24, and 43%-65% of the known suspects were between 10 and 24 years of age. In 2019 NIH cohort study, 600 Salinas teens reported gang membership at 2-3% of youth in grades 8 to 10. However, gang exposure through friends was reported by 18 to 21% of the same youth (Minnis et al., 2020). Known risk factors for gang involvement in Salinas include poverty, low literacy, high truancy, poor school performance, family dysfunction, drug use, population density, and lack of affordable housing.
Based on this knowledge, our target population is youth and young adults aged 10 to 24, particularly those with high-risk factors of delinquency, school failure, and poverty.
These are the members of our community at highest risk of perpetrating violence or being a victim of it. They may live anywhere in the city, but many will reside in East Salinas, where much of our violence occurs, and come from Hispanic families. Each
year, we will serve at least 250 high-risk youth through the proposed project and 120 of their parents or caregivers, for a total of 1,060 people over the three year project period.
These services are hospital-based violence intervention, parent education, youth education, job skills training, community policing and outreach, and law enforcement based juvenile diversion. Hundreds of community members will also receive information and assistance through police-community outreach activities.
Project Description
The proposed multi-faceted project will be implemented by the Salinas Police Department and three community-based organizations with long records of service and strong ties to the target population. Their proposed activities are described below.
Natividad Foundation: Hospital-based violence intervention program. Natividad Foundation requests funds to continue and expand its hospital-based violence intervention program, CHOICE, housed at Natividad Medical Center, a county-owned 172-bed acute care hospital with a Level II Trauma Center. Since 2015, CHOICE has provided victims of violent crime (shootings, stabbings, and blunt force trauma primarily) peer-based case management and trauma-informed support services for 6-12 months to reduce retaliation, prevent re-injury or homicide, and promote alternatives to violence.
It is an evidence-based program patterned after San Francisco General Hospital's Wraparound program, which has been found to demonstrate sustained recidivism reduction and success in addressing client needs in a traditionally underserved population (Juillard et al, 2016; Purtle et al, 2013; Cooper, Eslinger, & Stolley, 2006).
In 2020, 222 victims of violence were treated and assessed at the Trauma Center; 104 (47%) were eligible for CHOICE services, and 29 (28%) accepted services. These victims were primarily Hispanic (93%), male (91 %), and from the two highest poverty zip codes in Salinas. The CHOICE Team coordinates with the program's team of physicians, nurses, social workers, and chaplains; mobilizes community-based violence prevention, intervention, and reduction in Monterey County; and is a member of GASP and other county multidisciplinary action groups.
With CalVIP funds, CHOICE expects to screen 80 victims of violence and enroll 40 in the program each year. Intervention Specialists connect with the victim within one hour of their emergency room arrival where possible, offering support during and after
------------------------------------------~------
their hospital stay. The Intervention Specialists are bilingual, bicultural individuals who have been exposed to violence in their own lives. A tiered approach based on risk is used to assess clients' levels of recovery, needs, and risks. Tiers vary in the frequency of staff contact (1-3 times/week), client needs, and the duration of services (0-12 months). Intervention Specialists develop concrete objectives for each client, collaborate with service providers to coordinate multidisciplinary services and referrals, provide wrap-around services and intensive case management, and develop a supportive, mentoring relationship. Participant services and outcomes are tracked through the hospital's electronic health record, with recidivism assessed at 6-months post-injury. CalVIP funds will be used to support a Project Director to improve team supervision, fiscal oversight, and community mobilization around violence reduction.
This is a position the CHOICE program has never had and could benefit greatly from.
Partners for Peace: Parent Education and youth mentoring. Partners for Peace (P4P) is a 27-year old non-profit focused on building strong families for a peaceful community. It offers prevention and intervention classes for parents/caregivers and youth. Research has shown that gang involvement is partially due to a breakdown in families and a lack of positive role models. It is critical to teach and support parents/caregivers to develop strategies to ensure the success of their children.
With CalVIP funds, P4P will deliver an evidence-based/informed family skills and parenting training program for parents/caregivers of high risk (i.e., adjudicated, court referred, expelled from school) youth (Kumpfer et al, 2008; Kumpfer & Magalhaes, 2018). The Parent Project® is for the parents/caregivers of youth aged 11 to 17 exhibiting dangerous and out-of-control behaviors such as gang activity, violence, suicide threats, and running away. It includes a strong mental health component, critical for families as they face the ongoing challenges of the pandemic. Twelve classes per year (each class consists of ten two-hour class units) will be offered, eight in Spanish and four in English, serving a minimum of 120 parents and 120 youth per year. Classes focus on a laying a foundation for change, addressing problematic behavior, active supervision and structure, improving school attendance and performance, drug use, addressing out-of-control behaviors, and developing action plans and identifying support systems/wrap-around services that support positive family change. Two facilitators lead
each class, and fidelity and evaluation are closely monitored by P4P staff. P4P will provide certificated training to 20 new Parent Project® facilitators, drawn from law enforcement, social services, behavioral health, school professions, the community, and graduates of Parent Project® classes.
P4P will also offer the Step Up mentoring program to 25 youth aged 11-14 who display two or more at-risk behaviors for gang involvement, such as truancy, poor school performance, or drug use. The mentoring program is built on research that intervention in youth violence and delinquency rests on increasing protective factors and reducing risk factors. The nine-month Step Up program includes field trips to expose youth to careers and how to build leadership and planning skills, mentors who provide group instruction using the Stanford YELL program (Youth Engaged in Leadership and Learning), dream coaching, and tutoring.
Rancho Cielo: Tiny Home construction training program. Rancho Cielo is a non profit comprehensive learning and social services center established in 2000 to serve marginalized, underserved Monterey County youth. With CalVIP funds, it will exp?md the Tiny Home construction program which provides high risk youth with the opportunity to achieve a high school diploma, attain needed services, and acquire construction skills by building a tiny home. The program provides youth with training and instruction to address employment and education deficits, which are among the central criminogenic needs (Andrews & Bonta, 2010; Wooditch, Tang, & Taxman 2014). 100% of Rancho Cielo students come from low income families, 63% are on probation, 77% are Hispanic, 65% are male, and most are high school dropouts. Thirty of these youth aged 16-24 will be enrolled in the Tiny Home program each year; students may finish the program in a year or continue for a second year. They will receive academic instruction to obtain a WASC-accredited high school diploma, soft job skills (problem solving, customer service, etc.), and wrap-around connections to health and human services. The centerpiece of the program is the building of a Tiny Home (a 400-square foot double-wide with two bedrooms and a tiny bath, and a front porch) which provides the youth with hands-on skills training in basic construction safety, blueprints, carpentry, plumbing, electricity, etc., and they are able to obtain program completion certificates. Future participants have the good fortune to be taught in the
construction wing of the new 30,000 square foot Ted Taylor Ag Vocational Center on the Rancho Cielo campus. This huge open space holds both the vocational classroom area and the home under construction, split down the middle, on rollers, which enables two teams of students to work at the same time and transport to its ultimate destination.
The original 200-sq foot tiny home built by the Tiny Home program initiated by a CalVIP Cohort 2 grant remains on campus as a demonstration model. Two double-wide homes have been donated to for transition housing for unhoused persons, and this is the expected outcome for the five tiny homes expected to be built under this CalVIP grant.
Salinas Police Department (SPD): Community outreach and juvenile diversion.
Roberto Filice was sworn in as the Salinas Chief of Police on November 10, 2021. In his remarks, Chief Filice talked about the importance of strong police-community partnerships and announced that youth will be a special focus of his tenure. With the help of the CalVIP grant, Chief Filice aims to create a new Community Outreach Team to include a Sergeant, four officers, and a part-time analyst. The Team's main objectives are to reduce violence, prevent crime, improve community safety, support intervention activities/services, address quality of life issues, and build community trust. Two team members will be experienced officers supported by CalVIP funds, selected on the basis of their experience, skills, and aptitude for working with the community and youth.
A Youth Services Officer will develop, implement, and maintain a juvenile diversion program similar to Advocating Responsible Choices (ARC) in Marina, California, Chief Filice's prior police home, to provide intervention programs for at-risk youth exhibiting delinquent behavior. The major objectives of the youth diversion program are to divert delinquent youth from the juvenile justice system, reduce reoffending, and increase responsibility and accountability, and is a Promising practice (Crime Solutions, NIJ). Its use is supported by research indicating that the likelihood of reoffending increases as youth are further processed into the juvenile justice system (Petrosino, Turpin Petrosino, & Guckenburg, 2010) and the risk/need/responsivity model which states the risk level and needs of individual should determine strategies appropriate for them (Andrews & Banta, 2010). Wilson, Brennan, and Olag here (2018) conducted a meta analysis of 19 evaluations of police-led diversion programs and found that that the general evidence is positive and suggests that diversion reduces future delinquency.
The juvenile diversion program will operate in concert with the authority of the Juvenile Court and District Attorney, and an agency/community collaborative which will include them, the police department, recreation department, Probation, Explorer and PAL programs, school districts, social services, and Monterey County Health Department. This is likely to be CASP's cross-sector team with a few added members.
The GASP cross-sector team consists of all intervention programs in the city (including CHOICE, Rancho Cielo, and Partners for Peace), California Youth Outreach, Street Outreach, probation, alternative education, and WonderWood Ranch, and has been focused on supporting youth in the CHOICE and Street Outreach programs.
First time juvenile offenders who have been arrested/cited for assault, property, drug, or other offenses may be referred to the diversion program by the arresting officer, while the citation is held in abeyance. After an intake and risk/needs assessment, the youth and their parents sign a contract which may require community service, counseling, education, restitution, parent education, and/or other programs. If the youth successfully completes the program, the citation is not forwarded to the juvenile court and no juvenile record will exist. Graduates will be followed up six months and one year post-completion to ask about the juvenile's life and assess recidivism. We estimate 35 youth will be diverted each year.
A second full-time Community Outreach Officer will be devoted to a wide range of community policing and outreach activities focused on violence prevention and intervention. These will include gang outreach and education for parents and other adults; work with field workers to gain trust and help with practical issues such as getting a driver's license; problem-solving and communication with residents and businesses via neighborhood watch meetings, Town Halls, attending organization meetings, and one-to-one encounters; parenting classes (several of our officers are already certified), and others. These activities will be geared to increasing collective efficacy, incorporating an enhanced shared trust among residents and willingness to intervene, and problem solving to reduce crime.
Organizational Capacity and Coordination
The lead agency for the CalVIP project is the City's Community Safety Division
(CSD) headed by Jose Arreola. CSD has managed over $5 million in grants in justice related areas including re-entry services, parent education, hospital-based violence intervention, Saturday night recreation, and strengthening law enforcement and community relations. It has been the lead agency for the City's prior CalGRIP and CalVIP programs, working directly with the community partners. CSD's regular programs include street outreach, community leadership academies, a cross-functional team for family and youth intervention, National Night Out and block parties, and community listening sessions. CSD will provide support and oversight to the proposed projects along with the Board members of GASP.
CSD is the backbone agency for the Community Alliance for Safety and Peace and Mr. Arreola is the Director of GASP as well and the current chair of the Monterey County Juvenile Justice Commission. GASP is a unique collaboration of more than 50 organizations and leaders representing youth service organizations, county housing and health agencies, local and state elected offices, criminal justice and law enforcement, education, business, the faith community, and private foundations. It was created in 2009 to reduce violence and build a better future for children. CASP's latest five-year Strategic Plan followed DOJ's PIER framework, aligning local efforts around the key focus areas of prevention, intervention, enforcement, and re-entry. GASP members' dedication is evident in their meeting time pre-COVID - 7 a.m. twice a month, with often 50 or more in attendance. The bimonthly meetings are now virtual.
SPD has a long history of collaborative partnerships and strategic planning efforts involving the community and local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. SPD's violence reduction strategy has concentrated on focused deterrence strategies and the reduction of the felonious possession and use of firearms, gang violence, and drug trafficking. From early 2014 until COVI D-19 led to shelter-in-place orders in March 2020, biweekly shooting reviews were hosted by SPD's Investigation Unit to review all recent shootings, identify groups and individuals involved, and, in partnership with probation and law enforcement partners, launch actions to prevent the next shootings by targeting those identified. SPD was awarded the James Q. Wilson Award for Excellence in Community Policing by the Regional Community Policing Institute - California in 2019.
The three community-based organizations who will implement the proposed
education and re-entry services have been described in the previous section. Rancho Cielo and Partners for Peace are currently part of our CalVIP Cohort 3 project and are proposing to expand their services and/or launch new activities. All three CBOs are members in good standing with CASP, defined as attending 60% of the meetings and serving on a committ.ee. Each has over 20 years of experience serving Salinas youth, has strong partnerships with city and county agencies and other non-profit service providers, and is very experienced with grant requirements and fiscal responsibilities.
The evaluation of the proposed CalVIP activities will be conducted by the Monterey County Health Department's STRYVE (Striving to Reduce Youth Violence Everywhere) Team. The STRYVE Team has used a public health approach that focuses on violence prevention since being funded and trained by the CDC in 2011. Their experience in evaluation and the use of data is exemplified by their tracking homicides, violent assaults of youth, and other violent crimes over the past nine years and reporting out to the community. The STRYVE Team has evaluated local implementations of evidence based programs, tracking process measures and intermediate and long-term outcomes over nine years to measure change and ensure program fidelity. STRYVE is a CASP member in good standing and has effective working relationships with service providers.
If staff turnover is encountered during the three-year project, the CBOs are very skilled in selecting and training staff who are experienced in working with the target population, bilingual and bicultural, and knowledgeable about trauma-informed practices. For example, all CHOICE Intervention Specialists are bilingual and bicultural, and all parent classes are co-facilitated, with at least one bilingual facilitator. Having staff members who were system-involved and have undergone rehabilitation and successfully overcome the high risk or gang lifestyle enhances their ability to provide effective youth and gang intervention services. Rancho Cielo employs staff who have been system-involved and asks system-involved alumni to come back to speak to students. All staff have received a trauma-informed certificate from the Community Resilience Initiative and a Board and Staff Racial Equity Committee was formed in 2018 to ensure everyone from the Board of Directors down is comfortable using the language of racial equity. The newest Board member of Partners for Peace is a former offender who developed a mentoring program for young men and works with youth in re-entry.
------------------------------------- ·-------~---
Two of the program facilitators are young men who have been through Juvenile Hall and the Youth Center.
We also do not anticipate needing technical assistance in delivering the proposed violence intervention strategies, yet also know how and where to access resources and experts. All staff are very experienced in their chosen activities and receive ongoing excellent training. Program fidelity of the intervention programs will be monitored by the STRYVE evaluation team through site visits, observation, and records collection. The fidelity of parent classes is closely monitored by Partner for Peace's Executive Director, whether classes are in-person or online.
The City of Salinas' Finance Department, which will be responsible for the fiscal administration of the grant, has extensive experience with federal and state grants including several CalGRIP and CalVIP grants. The finance staff will ensure that all grant funds are tracked, accounted for, and reported appropriately. The City will use standard accounting principles and project-specific codes to maintain fund separation.
Project Evaluation and Monitoring
Monterey County Health Department's STRYVE Team is currently conducting the local evaluation of the CalVIP Cohort 3 program and brings valuable knowledge, strategies, and relationships to the proposed evaluation. The STRYVE Team will meet with each involved organization and agency at the beginning of the project to discuss their programs, review data requirements, and ensure that intake forms and other records are in place to gather the information needed, including informed consent for follow-up. STRYVE, SPD, and the community partners will work collaboratively to develop the Local Evaluation Plan. Key staff and leadership will be included as the logic model is developed. The requirements of the quarterly progress reports will be reviewed so all service providers understand what will be required. STRYVE will collect and review the quarterly progress report data. Each of the partners has participated in a CalGRIP or CalVIP program and is accustomed to their reporting and evaluation requirements.
Monitoring will occur in several ways. The quarterly reports will enable the evaluation team to stay abreast of service delivery and numbers, participant characteristics, progress on goals, program challenges, and immediate outcomes. Periodic site visits to
observe program activities (e.g., sit in on a Parent Project® class, observe some Tiny Home construction), interview staff, and review records will be used to provide oversight and monitoring over time. Deliverables will include the quarterly progress reports, Local Evaluation Plan with logic model, and Final Local Evaluation Report.
Process and outcome indicators. The STRYVE Team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation incorporating at both process and outcome assessments. Specific goals and quantifiable objectives are presented in the Work Plan and will be refined in the Local Evaluation Plan. The process evaluation will document how the program are implemented, looking at services, activities, and immediate outcomes. This will include but not be limited to the number and description of each activity (parent classes, one on-one intervention, juvenile diversion, etc.), number of participants, characteristics of youth and adults involved (demographics), attendance, dropout and completion rates, and pre- and post-surveys of changes in attitudes, knowledge, and/or skills. Each program will have its own criteria to define program completion or graduation. These process data will be collected via the quarterly progress reports, site visits, and records review.
The outcome evaluation will look at individual and community outcomes. The primary individual outcome indicator is whether participants are involved in a crime, particularly a violent crime either as a victim or suspect, within six months or a year of program participation. Other individual indicators include probation violations, school disciplinary actions, and involvement in non-violent juvenile or criminal incidents. These data will be gathered via contact and self-report of participants or from the probation or police department; informed consent from young adults or the parents of juveniles will be required. A natural quasi-experimental design will be used wherever possible, comparing the outcomes of graduates/completers to those who dropout.
Community outcome indicators will be tracked annually, monitoring the level of violence over time, with 2021 serving as the baseline year. Key indicators include the number of homicides, shootings, aggravated assaults, and youth involvement in these violent crimes over time. No data sharing agreements have been necessary between the Health Department and Police Department over the past decade of partnership, and none are anticipated to be needed now.

Re: California Violence Intervention & Prevention (CalVIP) Grant Date: February 3, 2022
This letter is being submitted to document that Partners For Peace agrees to partner on the CalVIP grant proposal being submitted by the City of Salinas.
As a part of this grant, Partners For Peace agrees to deliver twelve Parent Project intervention family education classes per year to a minimum of 120 parents/caretakers and their youth in Spanish and English and the Step Up Group Mentoring program for 25 youth ages 11-14, per fiscal year for the duration of this grant.
Families are the heart of the community. To prevent and intervene with gang activity, reduce violence in the home and community, decrease drug and alcohol use and increase school attendance and grade point averages youth need love and limits in the home. Nationally The Parent Project® is a proven intervention strategy that has served over 500,000 families throughout the United States. Locally The Parent Project has increased communication and bonding and decreased challenging or destructive behaviors in youth. The Step Up Mentoring program has consistently increased school attendance, family communication and helped youth step up and out of circumstances that limit their options and prevent them from achieving their dreams.
Partners For Peace takes the word "partners" seriously. We are proud to partner with the City of Salinas to decrease violence in the community and increase youth success in the home and community.
Sincerely,
Vicki Law

Re: California Violence Intervention & Prevention (CalVIP) Cohort 4 Grant Date: Thursday, February 10, 2022
This letter is being submitted to document that Natividad Medical Foundation agrees to partner on the CalVIP grant proposal being submitted by The City of Salinas.
As a part of this grant, Natividad Foundation agrees to provide CHOICE, a hospital based violence intervention and prevention program of Natividad's American College of Surgeons'-verified Level II Trauma Center. Since 2015, the Level II Trauma Center has provided life-saving services to more than 7,500 critically injured patients. Victims of violence at Natividad are primarily Latino (93%), male (91 %) and from the high poverty zip codes of 93905 and 93906 in Salinas.
The CHOICE program provides services to victims of violence who have been injured by gunshot wounds, stabbings and/or assaulUbeatings. CHOICE provides bilingual, bicultural Intervention Specialists who have been exposed to violence in their own lives and have the proper training to work with and serve as mentors to those who are recovering from violent injuries. Intervention Specialists, employed by Natividad Foundation, are highly trained and were born and raised in the Salinas Valley-in the same environment as the victims of crime they seek to serve. CHOICE has achieved a 99% success rate with preventing re-injury compared to a 44% re-injury rate after five years for victims of violence at hospitals without a program like CHOICE.
We look forward to partnering with The City of Salinas and BSCC to reduce gang violence n our community!

TOTAL (must be at least 5%, but no more than 10% of Total Grant Funds) The evaluation will be conducted by the Monterey County Health Department's STRYVE Team, at a cost of 7% of the total of all other budgeted items. The STRYVE Team has used a public health approach that focuses on prevention and intervention since being funded and trained by the CDC in 2011. Salary and benefits costs for each year are: Project Coordinator 5% of $95,146 salary plus benefits of $2,064 = $6,821; Evaluation Lead 2% $139,770 salary plus benefits of $1,158 = $3,953; Evaluation Coordinator 15% of $89,680 salary plus benefits of $5,949 = $19,401; Epidemioligist 5% x $94,123 salary plus benefits of $2042 = $6,748; and Intern 5% of $80,775 salary = $16,155. Annual cost of salaries and benefits = $159,232. Indirect @ 25% of Salaries and Benefits = $39,808. Travel for two people x two trips of $1,439 each = $5,756.
