CASA of Tarrant County and its court-appointed volunteers advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children. 6.What is the target group for this project? This grant would serve children and young adults who are eligible for CASA of Tarrant County's Aging-Out Prevention & Preparation (APP) program, formerly known as CASA's Permanent Managing Conservatorship (PMC) program. Youth are eli able for CASA's APP program if they are age 12 or older or if they have been in foster care longer than 24 months. These twc rrRPAi cm% tPd tPiRgr 4ifefW'Maging-out of foster care, or turning 18 without finding a permanent home or heiween cr w rz CASA or T UTTNUL COUnty family. Youth who age-out are at-risk for multiple forms of criminality. As of September 2021, 491 unduplicated Tarrant County foster youth have been eligible for the APP program. Of those 491 youth, the median age 13 years and the average length of time spent in care is 35 months. So far in 2021, 176 of the 491 youth left foster care with the following outcomes: 47 were reunified with parents, 58 placed with relatives or fictive kin, 1 youth's case was court dismissed, 11 youth ran away, 27 youth aged-out, and 31 adopted. As of 9.21.21, 333 APP youth are still in care, with more becoming eligible daily. Black youth are overrepresented in foster care: while 18% of Tarrant County (TC)children are Black, 38% of TC youth in foster care are Black, and 43% of TC APP youth are Black, meaning Black youth are at higher risk of being in foster care longer and are at increased risk of aging-out(CASA of Tarrant County case data, 2021). LGBTQ+ youth represent 30.4% of youth in foster care (Baams et al., 2019 7.What is the crime/safety problem you are addressing? Several longitudinal studies show youth who age-out of foster care are at increased risk of criminality. Of all youth who age- out of care: • 50% are incarcerated by age 23 and are more at-risk to commit violent crimes (McMahon & Fields, 2015; Courtney et al., 2011). • 35-54% had a history of gang membership, 52-69% sold drugs, 63-73% engaged in violent criminal behavior, 67-79% engaged in property crimes, and 48-64%were convicted of a crime (Rebbe et al., 2017). • 20% are arrested within 12 months of aging-out (Henze) et al., 2016). Youth aging-out of care are also at increased risk of being victims of violence. Compared to youth who do not age-out of foster care • Male youth who age-out were more than 2x more likely to have a weapon pulled on them, to be stabbed, or to be assaulted by age 19. • Female youth who age-out were 3-4x more likely to have a weapon pulled on them by age 19 (Courtney et al., 2005). • LGBTQ+ youth in foster care are 27% more likely to be victimized than straight/cisgender youth in foster care (Baams et al., 2019). • 86% of trafficking victims had prior CPS involvement(Fort Worth Police Department, 2019). Every youth who ages out cost communities $300,000 over his/her lifetime in criminal proceedings, incarceration, and social welfare (Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2013).. For the 87 children who aged-out of Tarrant County in 2020 alone (DFPS, 2021), they will cost taxpayers $26,100,000 over their lifetimes. 8.What are the causes of the crime/safety problem identified in the previous question? As a social determinant of health, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) like abuse and neglect increase criminality risk. Childhood trauma can disrupt neurodevelopment, resulting in impairments for school, relationships, and emotional regulation. Impairments may lead to health-risk behaviors like truancy, crime, substance abuse, and violence, including family violence (Fox et al., 2015; Duke et al., 2010), which can result in disease, disability, and social problems felt across society (CDC, 2019). Of all children, children in foster care have the worst outcomes across education, employment, family life (Rebbe et al., 2017; Anda et al., 2006)and physical and mental health outcomes, having the highest mortality rate and a life expectancy of 60 years (Turney et al., 2016). The instability of foster care is an additional stressor: on average, Tarrant youth who don't age out have 2 foster home placements while youth who age-out have 7 placements. Youth with multiple placements have increased risk to commit more serious crimes and 90% of youth with 5+ placements will have some involvement with the justice system (Yamat, 2020), creating a "trauma to prison pipeline" (Stensrud et al., 2019). Youth who do not find a permanent family are at the highest-risk for criminality and victimization (McMahone et al., 2015). Inadequate social support is a leading cause of 1)the initial trauma of child abuse and neglect, 2)youth spending more time in foster care and 3)youth aging out. 9. How will your strategy address those causes? The base CASA model and CASA of Tarrant County's use of Collaborative Family Engagement (CFE) addresses the above causes. Compared to children without CASA volunteers, children with a CASA and their families have reduced risk of present and future violent victimization (1), greater access to community resources (2,3), better educational and behavioral outcomes (4), and fewer placement and school changes (5). CASA adds CFE to its base CASA model to increase family engagement which helps youth recover from ACEs, mitigates ACE-associated outcomes, reduces time spent in care, and increases youth finding a permanent home (6,7,8). CFE ultimately prevents and reduces criminality by preventing youth from aging-out and increases social capital for youth who do age-out(9). In Tarrant County (TC), CASA's use of CFE has reduced the number of youth aging compared to TC youth without CASAs. CFE is evidence-informed, and strategic family engagement like CFE is associated with - increased family involvement in emotional and permanency decisions (10, 11) - increased placements with relatives which frees up community resources (12), - Reduced time spent in foster care (13,14), -fewer children aging-out of or re-entering foster care (12,14) - Fewer youth in foster care (14), - Prevention of future child abuse/neglect and intimate partner violence (8,13,15), - i t)Z2 ommuniity°ia ett Programs Agreement 18 tierween cr w rZ CASA or T arrant County - reduced risk in developing mental health disorders (6), - and reduced criminality(1 10.What measurable impact will your strategy have related to crime and safety? By providing 100 unduplicated Fort Worth youth with 28 trained CASA advocates, CASA increases the safety of Fort Worth foster youth, and by using CFE to increase social capital and reduce the number of youth aging-out of foster care—CASA prevents the violent crime,juvenile crime, and gang-related activities associated with youth aging-out. Cases will be managed by 2 APP Specialists (55-75% on CCPD grant with Fort Worth cases)and their supervisor(25% on grant). Outcome 1.1: CASA staff will increase existing and create new collaborations between Fort Worth PD and minority/underserved community members and stakeholders through the Diverse Community Engagement Specialist/APP Specialist and other CASA staff creating training opportunities, advocate recruitment events, and collaborative meetings with them. Outcome 1.2: 58% of children will have increased and/or maintained family engagement(data in case notes and EcoMaps), which can decrease risk of crime and prevent youth from aging-out. Outcome 1.3: 55% of children who leave care will find a permanent home (reunified, placed with relatives, or adopted; data in signed court orders or case notes), which can prevent juvenile and adult crime, gang-activity, and safety concerns by fewer youth aging-out. Outcome 1.4: 100% of children ages 16 and older will receive aging-out supportive services (data in case notes), providing resources to minimize the stress of aging-out. Narrative top 1.

Cases will be managed by 2 staff Specialists and their supervisor. 6. � �� �k4 t�l� �g ��4�@h�he target group faces. Support the description with relevap4 data rierween cr w rZ CASA or T UTTNUL COUnly from your agency and the community that explains the extent of the problem and what causes it to persist. The target group is youth who age-out of foster care, or who turn 18-years-old while still in foster care after never being returned home to their parents, placed with relatives, or adopted. At age 18, efforts to find a family for youth cease and youth can remain in care up to age 21 while receiving case management services. Many youth voluntarily leave foster care at age 18, with no logistical case management support and little emotional or social support from family. Several longitudinal studies show youth who age-out of foster care are at increased risk of criminality. Of all youth who age-out, • 50% are incarcerated by age 23 and are more at-risk to commit violent crimes (19,20). • 35-54% had a history of gang membership, 52-69% sold drugs, 63-73% engaged in violent criminal behavior, 67-79% engaged in property crimes, and 48-64%were convicted of a crime (21) • 20% are arrested within 12 months of aging-out(22) Youth aging-out are also at increased risk of being victims of violence. Compared to youth who do not age-out of foster care, • Male youth who age-out were more than 2x more likely to be stabbed, assaulted, or have a weapon pulled on them by age 19. • Female youth who age-out were 3-4x more likely to have a weapon pulled on them by age 19 (20) • 86% of trafficking victims had prior CPS involvement(Fort Worth Police Department, 2019). Every youth who ages out cost communities $300,000 over his/her lifetime in criminal proceedings, incarceration, and social welfare (23). For the 82 children who aged-out of Tarrant County in 2021 (24), they will cost taxpayers$24,600,000 over their lifetimes. As a social determinant of health, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) like abuse/neglect increase criminality risk. Childhood trauma can disrupt neurodevelopment, resulting in impairments for school, relationships, and emotional regulation. Impairments may lead to health-risk behaviors like truancy, crime, substance abuse, and violence, including family violence which can result in disease, disability, and social problems felt across society (25, 26, 27). Of all U.S. youth, youth in foster care have the worst outcomes across education, employment, family life (21, 28)and physical/mental health outcomes, having the highest mortality rate and a life expectancy of just 60 years (7). Foster care's instability is another stressor: on average, Tarrant youth who don't age-out have 2 foster home placements while youth who age-out have over 7 placements (24). Youth with multiple placements have increased risk to commit more serious crimes, and 90% of youth with 5+ placements will have some involvement with the justice system (29), creating a "trauma to prison pipeline" (30). Youth who age-out of foster care are at the highest-risk for criminality and victimization (19). Inadequate social support is a leading cause of the initial trauma of child abuse and neglect, youth spending more time in foster care and youth aging out. 'Citatio 7. Define the target group and how many will benefit from this project. Include defining characteristics, how the crime or safety situation (described in the previous question) affects them, and how they relate to community efforts to impact CCPD crime and safety goals. CASA serves Tarrant County youth ages 0-21 who experienced child abuse or neglect, were removed from their homes, and placed in foster care. The target group is youth who are at-risk of aging out of foster care. This three-year grant would serve 100 unduplicated youth who are eligible for CASA of Tarrant County's Aging-Out Prevention & Preparation (APP) program, formerly known as CASA's Permanent Managing Conservatorship (PMC) program. Youth are eligible for the APP program if they are age 12 or older or if they have been in foster care longer than 24 months. As foster youth age, they are less likely to be adopted and grow more distanced from their families of origin. Youth are also at-risk to frequent foster home moves the longer they are in care, creating a trend of short-term and broken relationships. Transitioning to adulthood requires substantial social support, but youth aging out of foster care have minimal social support. While all foster youth are at-risk due to adverse childhood experiences, youth who age-out of care have the highest risk for committing violent crimes,juvenile justice and/or gang involvement, and being victimized by crime due to low support associated with not finding a permanent home before age eighteen (19). By preventing youth from aging out, CASA is preventing crime and putting an emphasis on positive social connections to break the cycle of victimization and abuse. CASA advocacy, especially CASA of Tarrant County's use of Collaborative Family Engagement, is associated with increased social support and reduced risk of aging-out of care. CFE is an intervention which equips staff and advocates to identify, locate, and engage family members and other supportive adults in a youth's life to become "connections" or part of the youth's social support system. With CASA advocacy and CFE, only 5-7% of Tarrant County youth with CASAs age-out of care compared to 19-25% of Tarrant County youth without CASAs annually. By increasing APP youth's social support, CASA will prevent the most at-risk youth from aging out of care—by reducing the number of youth aging out, CASA prevents youth and juvenile crime and gang-activity associated with youth aging out. Youth who do age out who have a strong social support system are less likely to commit crimes—by increasing social support for youth who still age-out, CASA prevents youth and juvenile crime and gang-activity associated with youth aging-out with inadequate social support. In 2021, 507 unduplicated Tarrant County foster youth were eligible for the APP program. Of those 507 youth, the median age was 12 years old and the average length of time spent in care was 38 months. In 2021, 177 of the 507 youth left foster care with the following outcomes: 40 were reunified (23%), 62 were placed with relatives (35%), 40 were adopted (23%), and 35 aged out of care (20%). As of 2.15.2022, 330 APP youth are still in care, with more becoming eligible daily. 8.Wribe��YYour proje t. D' cuss how you will address the causes of the crime/safety situation faced by target rSYRIP R �t l �ared and how it will impact the selected crime/safetyoal. x lain e een 01arran oun y how it is unique, new, and/or similar to other efforts. Include relevant data and outside sources that prove that the project is likely to achieve the desired results. CASA began in Fort Worth in 1983 to generate trained, independent, unpaid volunteers gathering information about children's best interests for litigants and judges. Compared to children without CASAs, children with CASAs and their families have reduced risk of present and future violent victimization (1), greater access to community resources (2,3), better educational and behavioral outcomes (4), and fewer placement and school changes (5). CASA collaborates with other child welfare providers and nonprofits, but CASA is the only provider of unique, unduplicated, and evidence-informed volunteer advocacy in Tarrant County. CASA added CFE in 2017 in partnership with Texas CASA and DFPS to increase family engagement, which helps youth recover from ACEs, mitigates ACE-associated outcomes, reduces time spent in care, and increases youth finding a permanent home (6,7,8). This grant would provide high-impact services for youth at-risk of aging-out of care and serve more children. Grant-funded staff will supervise and assist volunteers in using CFE in their advocacy services to increase family support and engagement. Every youth served will have a trained advocate using CFE to identify, locate, engage, and maintain collaboration with adults connected to the youth. CASA also has a staff CFE Coordinator to provide technical assistance. CASA is uniquely suited to provide CFE: family members are often more comfortable working with unpaid, independent volunteers than with government agencies, and by having 1-2 cases at a time, CASAs have more capacity to complete time- intensive family finding services than caseworkers with high caseloads. CFE prevents and reduces criminality by preventing youth from aging-out and increases social capital for youth who do age- out(9). In Tarrant County (TC), CASA's use of CFE has reduced the number of youth aging out compared to TC youth without CASAs. CFE is evidence-informed, and strategic family engagement like CFE is associated with increased family involvement (10, 11), increased placements with relatives—freeing up community resources (12), reduced time spent in foster care (13,14), fewer children aging-out or re-entering foster care (12,14), fewer youth in foster care (14), prevention of future child abuse/neglect and IPV (8,13,15), improved child behaviors (7), prevention of mental health disorders (6), and reduced criminality (16,17,18). Changes to youth's social support will be measured by EcoMaps at the beginning of the case or grant period and assessed monthly. An EcoMaps is a standardized assessment tool to graph the strength and needs of social support systems. Permanency outcomes will be measured when CPS closes cases and youth leave foster care. Youth aging-out will be assessed for their social support and aging-out supportive services at the time of aging-out. The total number of youth aging- out, with and without CASAs, will be assessed annually. 9. Discuss your anticipated results. Explain how the crime/safety situation will change in measurable ways for both the target group and the community. Youth and families with CASAs have reduced risk of present and future violent victimization (1), greater access to community resources (2,3), better educational and behavioral outcomes (4), and fewer placement and school changes (5), creating supports to sustain families beyond their time in foster care. Tarrant County youth with CASAs also spend, on average, 2.3 fewer months in foster care, saving taxpayers over$1,000,000 annually in daily foster care payments and youth two months of instability and uncertainty. Youth with CASAs are less likely to age out, which reduces the criminality risk (19). CASA lowers the overall community risk of criminality through fewer youth aging out of care. Through evidence-informed CFE, CASAs will increase social support and family engagement for youth as measured by EcoMaps. Increased social support and family engagement decreases criminality for youth who do age out of foster care, and increased social support and family engagement often results in finding permanent homes for foster youth, preventing and mitigating future criminality. Youth at-risk of aging out in our APP program spend, on average, 38 months in foster care, and a three-year grant increases our ability to measure the impact of CFE on individual cases and measure the total number of youth aging out of Fort Worth and Tarrant County annually. New youth added during the grant period would continue to have measurable improvements after the grant period, with some youth leaving care after the grant period ends. By helping youth leave foster care sooner and with permanent homes, this grant would lower the total number of youth in foster care, reducing the burden on the child welfare system and community providers. Fewer youth aging-out of care and greater social supports for those who do would reduce juvenile crime and gang- related activity and prevent youth crime associated with low social support and youth aging-out of care. By providing 100 unduplicated Fort Worth youth with 28 trained CASA advocates, CASA increases the safety of Fort Worth foster youth, and by using CFE to increase social capital and reduce the number of youth aging-out of foster care, CASA prevents the violent crime,juvenile crime, and gang-related activities associated with youth aging-out. Cases will be managed by 2 APP Specialists (60-85% on CCPD grant with Fort Worth cases) and their supervisor(24-34% on grant). Outcome 1: CASA staff will increase existing and create new collaborations between Fort Worth PD and minority/underserved community members and stakeholders and increase stakeholders awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and skills measured immediately after collaborative events and on an annual basis. Outcome 2: 55% of children who leave care will find a permanent home (reunified, placed with relatives, or adopted; data in signed court orders or case notes), which can prevent juvenile and adult crime, gang-activity, and safety concerns by fewer youth aging-out. 10. If applicable, describe how the project will address the CCPD Special Emphasis: Police/Community Relations defined as "increasing existing or creating new collaborations between Fort Worth Police Department and minority/underserved community members and stakeholders." Black and LGBTQ+ youth are overrepresented in foster care: while 18% of Tarrant County(TC)children are Black, 39% of TC T youth are Black. State-wide and national studies show similar IpVtcomes, e een cr w rZ CASA or T arran COUnty showing Black children are 2x as likely to enter foster care, stay in care nine months longer, and are more likely to age-out compared to White children (Harvard Civil Rights—Civil Liberties Law Review, 2021; Texans Care for Children, 2020). After controlling for poverty, studies show Black children and their families are also less likely to receive mental health and family support services, indicating the need for advocacy (Government Accountability Office, 2007). While only 9.5% of all youth in the U.S. are LGBTQ+, 30.4% of youth in foster care are LGBTQ+, including 5% of all foster youth who are transgender or nonbinary (31). LGBTQ+ youth in foster care are 27% more likely to be victimized than straight/cisgender youth in foster care (31), and 15% of all youth who come into contact with law enforcement are LGBTQ+, often driven by family rejection and subsequent homelessness, truancy, mental health, and substance use challenges. Black youth, including Black LGBTQ+ youth, are also overrepresented in juvenile justice—they are 4x more likely to be detained in addition to facing disparities in criminal justice (Williams Institute, 2019; Sentencing Project, 2021). CASA started a partnership with the SMU Budd Center in early 2021 called "Pursuing Racial Equity: Individually& Collectively"to assess and expand racial equity practices within CASA and our services. In summer 2021, CASA created a part-time Diverse Community Engagement Specialist position to reach out and build relationships with diverse communities to increase diverse recruitment. Since July 2021, the DCE Specialist has reached out to over 50 Black businesses and non- profits serving primarily Black families and communities. CASA is expanding the position in 2022 and will continue to engage with Black community members both to recruit advocates who better reflect the children served by CASA, and to develop more engaging partnerships with non-profits serving primarily Black communities where the youth served by CASA are removed from. CASA's goal is to provide more resources to families within their communities to strengthen community social support just as CFE strengthens family social support. CASA of Tarrant County leadership is also involved in local LGBTQ+ communities, LGBTQ+ faith communities, a state-wide LGBTQ+foster youth work group, and CASA staff participate in the quarterly LGBTQ+ luncheons with Chief Noakes. CASA would like to partner with Fort Worth PD during the grant period in joint efforts to reach out to the LGBTQ+ community and Black communities, including hosting or partnering with community outreach, resource fairs, volunteer recruiting, and trainings. 11. Briefly describe your agency and why it is the best to lead this project. Include how long your agency has served the community, its mission, partners, and the nature of your services. CASA recruits, trains, and supervises community members to become volunteer advocates for abused and neglected children during their time in foster care. Through this relationship, CASA volunteers learn about youth's unique needs and strengths, helping them obtain therapeutic services while engaging and empowering the youth's social support system of relatives, family friends, teachers, and other important adults. For some youth, court hearings only happen every six months, making a volunteer's report critical to judges' understanding of the case. CASA volunteers are one of the most consistent sources of support and stability for youth during their difficult and uncertain time in care. CASA has served Fort Worth since 1983 through our mission of advocating for the best interests of abused and neglected children. In 2021, CASA served 1,165 youth with 602 volunteer advocates—an agency record in youth served and volunteers assigned. Preliminary results from 2021 outcomes show that in DFPS FY20.21, 257 youth served by CASA left care with 93.12% finding a permanent home: 49%were reunified with parents, 29% placed with relatives, 15% adopted, and 7% aged out. Comparatively, 223 youth left care without a CASA in DFPS FY20.21, and only 78%found a permanent home: 28% were reunified with parents, 24% placed with relatives, 26% adopted, and 22% aged-out. CASA partners with Texas CASA, the Texas DFPS, Our Community Our Kids, Alliance for Children, and all family courts in Tarrant County, including Family Recovery Court and Juvenile Justice. CASA partners with any service provider, non-profit, or ISD working with youth in the foster care system. CASA's collaboration with OCOK in using CFE has created other high- impact services for Tarrant County. CASA leadership has unique experience with law enforcement, as both the CEO and Program Director had previous roles as CPS Investigation Supervisors. They are acutely aware of the need for collaboration between CASA and law enforcement, and having been at CASA for five years, see the difference in prevention of youth criminality and breaking the cycle of abuse and neglect in families when children and youth have a CASA volunteer. The APP Specialist 1 has over ten years of experience working in Child Protective Services and at CASA with youth at-risk of aging out of foster care. APP Specialist 2 has nine years' experience working with adolescents and four years' experience working in child welfare. The APP Supervisor has eight years of experience serving youth at-risk of aging out of foster care. The Community Engagement Director has over five years' experience recruiting CASA volunteers, the CASA Trainer and Director of Grants &Contracts has over 10+years' experience with youth aging out of care, and the Director of Grants has over eight years' experience managing six-and seven-figure government grants. 12. Describe how the project fits the mission of your agency. CASA's mission is to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children. Prior to our CEO Don Binnicker joining CASA in 2016, CASA often did not stay on cases once a youth was likely to remain in care indefinitely due to funding structures which incentivized closing cases to serve new children. Once Mr. Binnicker joined CASA in 2016, the agency chose to remain on cases for youth who were on track to age-out, knowing youth at-risk of aging-out have one of the greatest needs for advocacy. Subsequently, CASA grew to serve more youth at-risk of aging out and grew its revenue sources to ensure children at all lengths of time in foster care can be served. CASA's use CFE also directed our commitment to youth at-risk of aging out of care. CASA volunteers, staff, and board members know it is in the best interests of youth to find a safe, permanent home before it is too late, and CASA will put its resources, ingenuity, and creativity in finding permanent solutions for all children through e iden� informed practices. Aso aQ12��2� Ayl Kayo �r CNN philosophy as it relates to children and families thriving within 22 e een 01arran oun)' communities. One of the ultimate goals of CFE is to increase a child's support system to not only identify possible placements so they can leave foster care but to also surround the child and family with a larger pool of supportive adults, increasing their social capital and long-term support for after foster care services end. From conversations with other community providers related to our recruitment of Black, Hispanic, and LGBTQ+ volunteers, and our anti-racism work with the SMU Budd Center, CASA is starting to expand its critical circle of support to include not only the child and their family system but also the community in which the family lives. CASA is working with local non-profits to not only hold volunteer recruitment events in communities where children in foster care have been removed from—typically communities with high social vulnerability and crime rates. CASA is also working to ensure its staff and volunteers are aware of services local non- profits provide so we can connect children and their families to local resources, adding an additional layer of social support in connections made within communities. Multiple staff members have made connections to communities and non-profits through their networks in 2021, and we are operationalizing who will maintain those relationships moving forward based on workload capacity and the needs of staff and the agency in Q1 and Q2 2022. Overall, the Diverse Community Engagement Specialist's work to recruit Black volunteers and other staff members' involvement in Hispanic and LGBTQ+ communities are continuing to be areas to recruit more volunteers and build partnerships with other agencies and communities serving youth at-risk of aging-out of care. 13. Describe the geographic area you will serve (i.e. city-wide, council districts, zip code, neighborhood, census tracts, etc.) and why it was selected. Any child or young adult removed from their homes in Tarrant County are eligible for CASA services, but funding from CCPD will go to serve youth at-risk of aging out of care who were removed specifically from Fort Worth zip codes and are served by the two grant-funded APP Child Advocacy Specialists. CASA appoints CASA volunteers to cases of children in need of advocacy; cases are not triaged by location but by need of advocacy—often determined by severity of abuse/neglect, number of siblings on the case, youth special needs, or youth risk of aging out. Previous grants with CCPD were structured the same way, with CCPD funding going towards youth removed from Fort Worth zip codes and districts. This grant would serve children city wide and serve children within every council district. Certain zip codes are more likely to have children removed due to abuse and neglect as it relates to social vulnerability. In 2021, the ten zip codes which had the highest number of youth at-risk of aging out (APP youth)who served by CASA were 76119 (Eastern Seminary/Wichita St., Districts 5 & 8)with 40 APP youth, 76112 (Meadowbrook, Districts 4 & 5)with 32 APP youth, 76116 (Western Hills/Las Vegas Trail, District 3)with 31 APP youth, 76104 (Morn ingside/Butler Place, Districts 8 & 9)with 26 APP youth, 76105 (Stop 6 / Poly, Districts 5 & 8)with 24 APP youth, 76110 (Historic Southside, District 9)with 20 APP youth, 76133 (Wedgewood, Districts 6 & 9)with 17 APP youth, 76102 (Northside, Districts 2, 4, 8, & 9)with 17 APP youth, 76111 (Carter Riverside, Districts 2, 4, 8, & 9)with 15 APP youth, 76134 (Fort Worth, Edgecliff, Districts 8 & 9)with 15 youth, and 76115 (Seminary, Districts 8 &9)with 13 youth. CASA has served thousands of children removed from every District and every zip code in Tarrant County since 1983. Since CASA serves Fort Worth communities with the highest social vulnerability risk, this grant would benefit communities and families with highest crime rates. 14. Describe and list what other funds you have secured or requested on behalf of this project. If this is a new project, include a description of how you plan to maintain these services beyond the CCPD grant period. CASA of Tarrant County received a one-year$49,000 grant from the Carl B. and Florence E. King Foundation to cover approximately a quarter of both APP Specialists, a tenth of their supervisor, and a portion of CASA's Trainer(volunteer and staff)and Director of Grants and Contracts (reporting and outcomes analysis)for 2022. Within child welfare, the King Foundation only funds services for youth who are aging out of foster care, and CASA has received funding from the King Foundation to serve youth aging out of care in 2021, 2019, 2017, and 2013. The King Foundation requires agencies apply for funding every other year, and CASA would reapply to cover a portion of the APP program in 2023 for the year 2024. Year 1 King Foundation funding is confirmed and Years 2 & 3 is pending our future application. For expenses related to serving the 100 APP youth outside the CCPD grant funded positions, staffing, occupancy, supplies, and indirect costs are covered by CVC, OVAG, and indirect funding. CASA has received VOCA funding and state Crime Victims Compensation (CVC)for over twenty years. Based on communication between Texas CASA, the Governor's office, and the Texas legislature, CASA is anticipating steady CVC funding in FY22.23 and FY23.24 that matches or exceeds FY21.22 funding. CASA of Tarrant County received a $90,000 two-year grant(FY21.22 and FY22.23)from the Texas Attorney General's Office to cover a portion of our Collaborative Family Engagement Coordinator and our Program Director, who supervises the CFE Coordinator and the APP Child Advocacy Supervisor. CASA has worked to increase individual giving, special events, and private foundation grants since that time. CASA created the Fort Worth Women's Council as a giving circle in 2021, and our board is planning a gala in 2024. CASA developed a new relationship with Rainwater Charitable Foundation in 2021 and 2022, and Rainwater Charitable Foundation has funded our educational advocacy and our efforts to recruit more diverse volunteers—specifically Black, Hispanic, and LGBTQ+ volunteers. It was with Rainwater Charitable Foundation giving that we created the Diverse Community Engagement Specialist position in 2021, and grants from Amon G. Carter Foundation and NBCUniversal were used for media buys to recruit more diverse volunteers. CASA continues to expand recruitment and partnerships with diverse communities in 2022 and would like to partner with the Fort Worth Police Department to have joint community engagement activities with Black, Hispanic, and LGBTQ+ communities in Fort Worth. CASA has placed particular emphasis on youth at-risk of aging out of foster care (Aging- Out Prevention & Preparation (APP) program, formerly called our PMC program)since 2017 with multiple funding sources, including CCPD, the King Foundation, the Texas Bar Foundation, OVAG, VOCA, CVC, and other individual and private funding.

DISCUSSION: Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) Community Based Programs provide funding to agencies that are recommended by a selection panel and then approved by the CCPD Board of Directors (Board). This panel consisted of staff and community representatives who evaluated the proposals to ensure minimum qualifications were met and that the proposed projects met one or more of the goals of the Board. On May 24, 2022, the Board reviewed and approved the recommendation to fund five crime prevention programs. The following programs total $1,500,000.00 and are funded from the Crime Control and Prevention District Community Based Fund (25100). The five programs will have a contract term of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 with no renewals. Funding will be allocated as follows to each agency in Fiscal Year 2022 on a reimbursement basis: AB Christian Learning Center ($300,000.00) — Implementing the Summer Reading Program where participants will engage in a Summer Reading Program in Council Districts 5 and 8. Academic performance, explicitly literacy, has shown to be correlated with juvenile crime. There is also a correlation between parental involvement and children's social and academic confidence and skills. In addition to summer reading program, youth will participate in educational sessions that will include guest speakers, college tour field trips, and STEM activities. The parents of the participants will also be engaged in weekly family sessions. CASA of Tarrant County ($300,000.00) — Implementing the Aging-Out Prevention and Preparation (APP) program which assists youth at risk of aging out of foster care in all Council Districts. The transition period from aging out of foster care is a critical time as youth are more at risk for engaging in juvenile and gang related crime as a result of lack of social supports. CASA youth will receive social support through an appointed Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer and receive family engagement services that will help guide them through this transition period; Operation Blue Shield dba One Community USA ($300,000.00) — Implementing ShopTalk in Council Districts 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9. Participants will consist of owners and customers of minority-owned African- American and Hispanic barbershops with beauty salons in Areas of Concentrated Poverty (ACP). One Community will implement Shop Talk and expand services into existing barbershops across the Fort Worth metroplex to shape up the surrounding communities. The barbershops and salons will be apps.cfwnet.org/counciI_packet/mc review.asp?ID=29972&councildate=6/14/2022 1/2 6/30/22,9:24 AM M&C Review known as safe environments to discuss and resolve social issues to bridge the gap between the Fort Worth Police Department and community members. MHMR Visions ($300,000.00) — Implementing the Mental Health Law Liaison Project which targets previously adjudicated and non-adjudicated individuals with mental illness or co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders in all Council Districts. The Mental Health Law Liaison will divert these individuals from the criminal justice system into recovery and treatment services. The Mental Health Law Liaison Project will enhance neighborhood safety by reducing the number of mental health crisis calls. YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth ($300,000.00) — Implementing Y Achievers in Council District 5, which targets minority and underserved high school students in grades 9 through 12. Programming will reinforce positive attitudes toward education, community involvement, and overall community relationships with law enforcement by offering academic activities, career development, and community service opportunities. Funding is budgeted in the CCPD Community-Based Programs Department's CCDP Community Based Fund. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously appropriated, in the CCPD Community Based Fund for the CCPD Community Based Prgm FY22 project to support the approval of the above recommendation and execution of the contract. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Police Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
