6_ What is the target group for this project?
Through this project. Unbound will serve adult survivors of sex trafficking and labor trafficking in Tarrant County. Survivors of
trafficking represent all socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic groups, and include all ages and genders. Most of those being
FY2023 Community Based Programs Agreement 18
Between CFW & Unbound Now
identified as survivors of sex trafficking are female, Though we have also served male survivors. We anticipate an increase in
the identification of male survivors as targeted outreach methods are implemented and we expand the labor trafficking
identification efforts already started-
Faciors associated wish increased vulnerability for sex trafficking are prior engagement in the juvenile justice or child welfare
systems, andlor history of sexual abuse. For labor trafficking, factors include recent migration and unstable housing. Unbound
serves a few special classifications of survivors, including people experiencing homelessness, those who identify with
LC,STQIA+, those who have limited English proficiency and survivors with disabilities. Many survivors experience
polyvictimization, which results in complex trauma that must he addressed. Survivors of human trafficking have unique needs,
including but not limited to housing, Jegal, medical, rehabilitation, and behavioral health, requiring individualized service plans.
Our role as lead victim service provider on the Tarrant County Human Trafficking Task Farce means that we will likely continue
increasing the number of victims identified, ghat has already been increasing every yea
7- What is the crimelsafety problem you are addressing?
In this program, we are addressing human trafficking of adults in Tarrant County, which involves the use of force, fraud, or
coercion to influence some type of labor or commercial sex act.
Fort Worth Police department f FWPDI recorded 15 trafficking cases in 2021.The Tarrant County Sheriffs Offiioe recorded 13
trafficking cases in 2021, involving 16 victims, including 13 adults. As a FVVPD Assistant Chief reported to the City Council
regarding human trafficking, "The more we look, the more we find-" Gang involvement or activity in the community is also a
significant risk factor for bmff --king- FWPD he ident,fied 93 active gangs in Fort Worth.
data from law enforcerneni agencies, researchers, and service providers indicates a significant presence of trafficking in North
Texas- Furthermore, it is reasoraole to anticipate an increase in already frequent referrals for advocacy services now that the
Tarrani County Human Trafficking Task Force is up and running.
Due to the complex trauma survivors have endured, They have an array of needs and may require specialized services in their
journeys coward restoration. Traditional services alone are not enough because -hey are not designed to address the type and
level of trauma that survivors of human trafficking have experienced. Surv(rvc,s may be vulnerable to further exploi-at on.
victimization, and potential engagemeni in other crimes as a means of survia31, including voluntary sex work and substance
abuse.
8- What are the causes of the crimelsafety problem identified in the previous question?
Sex trafficking often begins with a romantic or familial relationship when: trust and love are lev=-aced f)- -11e 1-_i—T::er s benefit
through the coercion of a pe,sor into commercial sexual exploitation- Labor trafficking often beg n= rr to a .__ }=er that offers
financial provision to peoo e n need. From there, traffickers use everything from threats of depD7a-ior to wit -I--- ding payment
to false debts to exploit viciims.
All victims share some type ofvulrerability, and those vulnerabilities include child sexual abuse or neglect, increasing the risk
of exploitation and trafficking, as well as system involvement, such as foster care andlor juvenile detentionlprobation.
Substance abuse in self or caretaker, recent migration, unstable housing, and limited English proficiency also increase
vulnerability to trafficking. Traffickers then explinit these vulnerabilities through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. Oftentimes,
traffickers know their victim, making this trauma invasive and interpersonal in nature and recovery is complex.
Additionally, root causes of human trafficking can be drawn to the demand for exploitation of human beings in the form of sex
or labor, and an entitlement to do so to another person- According to CEASE Network, in 2020, the city of Fort Worth saw
103,970 commercial sex ads- Similarly, for labor trafficking, individuals recognize vulnerabilities and explaitthose for their awn
profit or for domestic labor-
9. How does your strategy address those causes?
Adult advocacy advances recovery and support for adult survivors of human trafficking- These services are critical to adult
survivors being empowered on their journey of restoration, and reducing maiadaptive responses that could result in safety
issues. Services are available 24f7 for crisis response and ongaing case management. We currently have staff who are
bilingual in English and Spanish who are able to serve Spanish-speaking survivors. This type of trust -based advocacy,
provided in a survivor -centered, traumainformed manner, is helping survivors recover after trafficking.
We use evidence -based practices, including safety planning, trust -based relational intervention and motivational interviewing to
fill gaps between systems and sustain supportive relationships. Advocates cultivate positive police and community relations
because survivors are supported in their pursuit of justice in the legal system. Our relationship with law enforcement allows
our accompaniment on operations and our support is offered when survivors are identified, establishing a relationship with an
advocate, someone outside the system, who collaborates with law enforcement and other agencies to work in the best
interest of the survivor. This may contribute to survivor participation in the criminal justice process so demand goes down and
traffickers and sex buyers are kept from perpetuating crime. Thus. Unbound's wraparound services reduce revictimizaiion,
recidivism, and increase safety.
10- What measurable impact will your strategy have related to crime and safety?
FY2023 Community Based Programs Agreement 19
Between CFW & Unbound Now
Due to the support of CCPd's development grant, Unbound has implemented RTI's Outcomes for Human Trafficking Survivors
(OHTS) assessment tool to measure survivors' development in multiple areas situated within domains of safely, well-being,
self-sufficiency, and social connectedness. Measuring progress through a standardized instrument alloys Jnoound to gauge
the impact of advocacy services objectively. Preliminary data from the first year of implementation shows that advocacy
improves outcomes for adults, with 22 assessments showing one full step of improvement within a domain, which is a
significant amount of growth in key areas, which is improving safety for clients and reducing maladaptive coping mechanisms
associated with criminal activity, such as substance abuse_
In addition to OHTS, Unbound measures impact related to crime and safely through the number of client contacts and client
experience surveys to g ather feed back, which are both necessary to assess our efficacy in developing trust -based
relationships that form the foundation of wraparound advocacy. Furihemtore, the measurement of response time and number
of operations in which we participate helps us measure our collaboration with law erforcement so that we can continue to aid
in improving community -police relations.

Unbound's program is critical to the empowerment of adult survivors of human trafficking on their restoration journey and can
reduce maladapiive responses that could result in safety issues. Our trust -based, traumainformed, relational advocacy is
supporting survivors as they recover after irafficking and services are available 24�7 for crisis response and case management
6_ describe the eligible crimelsafety situation the target group fares. Support the description with relevant data
from your agency and the community that explains the extent of the problem and what causes it to persist.
In this program, we are addressing the human trafficking of adults in Fort Worth, which involves the use of force, fraud, or
coercion to influence some type of labor or commercial sex act. Secondarily, our program increases the safety of all citizens
(not just survivors of trafficking), through improving law enforcemeni's ability to arrest perpetrators and providing resources for
survjvws who may oope with trauma in mala daptive ways if services are not provided.
As mentioned in the concept paper, law enforcement has worked on almost thirty human trafficking cases in Fart Worth in the
Iasi year. In Fort Worth, adults are being increasingly identified as victims of trafficking through a collaborative Task Farce with
the Tarrant County Sheriffs Office (TCSO). Unbound has served over 100 adult survivors of trafficking in the lest 21 mordhs,
FY2023 Community Based Programs Agreement 20
Between CFW & Unbound Now
since starting the Tarrant County Human Trafficking Task Force in partnership with the TCSO
When an adult is sex trafficked, marry times the abuse started when the adult was a child and did not have the supports in
place io work through the complex trauma_ This can lead to children being sexually exploited_ Eventually, these youth
become adults and, in marry situations, adult sex trafficking can occur with the lack of awareness of what is truly happening_
Many times, they operate under the belief that they are helping out to make "ends meet' or'pull ing their weight.' They are
coerced and manipulated info complying with unrealistic expectations and see no way out of the lifestyle_
In labor trafficking, many victms are forced into criminality, which has the potential to evolve into even crime due to the lack of
options to sustain adequate employment to support their household_ Many adults who are labor trafficked may lack the work
skills, education, experience, and stability needed to obtain employment. Unfortunately, without the above mentioned skills, it
is difficult for a survivor to succeed wiihoul specialized and evidence -based support, which in turn increases recidivism.
Once a survivor is identified, there are very few services that are able to serve adults who have been trafficked. This lack of
assistance may lead to increased vulnerabilities, re -victimization, and maladaptive coping mechanisms that can involve
substance use or other crimes_
Both sex and labor trafficking harm victims and decrease the safety in our Fort Worth communities. Therefore. the survivors
require specialized services to help them recover and to navigate the justice process to ensure perpetrators are held
accountable.
7_ define the participants 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 impart CCPO crime and safety goals_
Through This project, Unbourd -will serve aduh survivors of trafficking in Tarrant County. Survivors of trafficking represent all
socioeconomic, racial, and ethn -- groups, and include all ages and genders. Most of those being identified as survivors of sex
trafficking are female, th --.rgh we have also served male survivors. We anticipate an increase in the identification of male
survivors as targeted outrea--h methods are implemented and we expand the labor trafficking identification efforts already
started. According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline (NHTH), 2,075 cases of human trafficking were reported in Texas
in 2619 and 2020.
Factors associated with increased vulnerability for sex trafficking are prior engagement in the juvenile justice or child welfare
systems, history of experiencing homelessness, and+or history of sexual abuse. Systemic oppression in the form of racism,
sexism, transphobia, and poverty also increase vulnerability for sex trafficking and labor traff --king_
For labor trafficking, factors include recent migration and unstable housing_ Unbound serves a few special classifications of
survivors, including people experiencing homelessness, those who identify with LGBTQ+, those who have limited English
proficiency and survivors with disabilities. Many survivors experience polyvictimization, which results in complex trauma that
must be addressed. Survivors of human trafficking have unique needs, including but not limited to housing, legal, medical,
rehabilitation, and behavioral health, requiring individualized service plans.
BIPOC individuals are particularly al risk for trafficking due to systemic injustice, so Unbound works with a oulturally diverse
team and an equity lens to work wish these survivors and bridge gaps with n systems. Through a two-year review of all
suspected human trafficking incidents across the country, 400A of sex t•aff --king victims were identified as Black women.
Another indicator that girls of color are parlicu'a•ly vulnerable is that traffickers self -reported a belief that trafficking Black
women would result in less jail time than traff --king white women if caught (Snapshot on the State of Black Women and Girls:
Sex Trafficking in the U_S., Congressional Black CaL. --us Foundation).
As mentioned in the description of caL.ses, all oeop a who are trafficked have some vulnerability that traffickers will then
exploit using force, fraud, or coercion for the rrun benefit. When someone is trafficked and then finds a way to exit that
situation, the same vulnerability exists anc is o`en exasperated by the trauma experienced, therefore making survivors of
trafficking susceptible to re -victimization. Additionally, the trauma and criminal charges that can result from being trafficked
(through forced criminality and sex trafficking) can result in ma ladaptive coping mechanisms such as substance abuse or
consensual sex work unless they are provided wish support needed to recover.
8_ discuss how your project will address the causes of the rrimelsafety situation fared by the target group.
Describe how the project will be measured and how it will impact the selected crimelsafety goal. Explain how it is
unique, new, andlor similar to other efforts_ Include relevant data and outside sources that prove that the project is
likely to achieve the desired results.
In response to the crime and safety issues mentioned above„ Unbound advocates respond immediately to od5is recoveries by
law enforcement and ideniiti --atonsfrom community organizations and hospitals. Advocates continue in rela- )-s-io ;vi-h
survivors !hrough treatmeni and irto long-term wellness. Relational advocacy services can lake many forms deperd ng on the
specific needs of the survivor. Jnbound serves survivors through case management to help meet survivors' residential

support; and as, appropriate, services to maintain survivors in their home or other protective setting.
Advocates work closely with clients and use mat vat cn.,I nterviewing techniques to develop and adapt safely plans to help
them avoid revictimizaiion or criminal activity_ We help survivors understand the risks of certain decisions and reassure them
of our continued engagement with them. Unbound's advocacy services are or,t oa in empowering adult survivors on their
journey of healing and restoration. Unbound's adult advocacy services are available 24�7 and include individualized case
management and support. Unbound's aduh advocates work collaboratively in support of victim -centered goals of survivors, law
enforcement, and others involved in service provision, case investigation, and prosecution.
Thanks to the significant support of CCPD's development grant, we implemented RTI's Outcomes of Human Trafficking
Survivors (OHTS) assessment cool to measure survivors' development in essential life dimensions such as safety, well-being,
self-sufficiency, and social connectedness. Our advocacy program has been shown io be effective using this tool. As a result,
we can now measure our impact objectively, using a standardized instrument to evaluate how relational advocacy services
impact the safety and prosocial coping of survivors after engaging with 'Jnbound
Through participation and collaboration with law enforcement operations that will identify survivors and also arrest perpetrators,
we will increase community safety through walking with survivors Through the justice process, increasing perpetrator arrests,
leading to a safer community in Fort Worth. Furthermore, outreach events identify potential survivors prior to irrleracting with
law enforcement, which allows Unbound to support communities historically marginalized who may not trust law enforcement.
9_ discuss your anticipated results_ Explain how the orimelsafety situation will change in measurable ways for both
the target group and the community.
The primary program outoomes will be increased safety for survivors of trafficking. and increased well Deirg measured across
13 categories, as well as survivors being identified. Safety and wellbeing will be measured using RTI's validated Outcomes for
Suvivors of Human Trafficking (OHT'S) tool, which was implemented through a CCPD development grant. Though the results
of increased safety and wellbeing of survivors through the support cf our wra p-aroun d relational advocacy services, their
vulnerability 10 re -victimization is reduced and long -tens safety is possible. Unbound utilizes this OHTS tool Jurir0 intake,
establishing a baseline for each of the 14 category areas. Information is gathered in conversation w,tn the sure vD•. then the
advocate coouments each measurement_ Each area is given a five -point scale with objective criteria. The journey of moving
from one tc f ve is achieved by the survivor and advocate setting goals together to achieve steps of growth. They will define the
lime perioc they feel is needed to accom plish theses goals, with periodic review of the goals and course correction as needed.
Including survivors in the process of selling and evaluating goals helps to build selfresleern and resolve as they celebrate the
victories along the way. It elevates our clients' voice and agency as they make decisions for how they want to grow and own
their healing process.
An additional and important safely outcome in the target group will be using trauma -informed and survivor -centered
approaches to interviews and assessments during law enforcement operations in order to improve relationships between
survivors, who are often a part of marginalized communities, and law enforcement This relationship is further strengthened
when our advocates can accompany survivors through the justice proceedings and+orworking to clear their own record of any
charges that occurred as a result of trafficking -
Safety wi 11 be increased :n the whole community, not just the target g ro Li D. when more traffickers and sex buyers are charged
during these law enforcement operations (anc post -operation survivor acoo•npaniment through court proceedings). This will
deter more people from traffick ng anc+o buying sex, as well as al'cw -hose who are charged to be monitored by the justice
system and prevent future odr-e go.ng forward. Both this and the preceding outcome for the target group will be measured
through the number of law erfc•cement operations that Unbound suppo,ts.
For the community, safely will also be increased through awareness of the signs of trafficking. Though the primary objective of
outreach events is to identify survivors through an alternative pathway than law enforcement, the secondary outcome will be
increased awareness of the signs oftrafficking among vulnerable communities. This will be measured irough optional post -
event surveys, which can be repotted to CCPD quarterly.
10_ 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.

survivors of human trafficking_ Unbend North Texas serves as the lead victim service provider for the Task Force, which
includes accompanying law enforcement on victim -centered operations.
On October 31, 2021) Unbound North Texas coered'he Urderground, a 2417 drop -in center for trafficked and exploited youth.
This drop -in center provides a new entry poirt fo• sery oes, a lowing earlier identification of victims and iniervention_ Since
opening in Ocloher of 2020, the Underground has served over 400 unduplicated youth and has hosted aver 1.501) youth visits
to the center_
In late 2020, Unbound North Texas expanded a partnership with Fort Worth ISd to provide human trafficking prevention
education for educators, school staff, and studenis and establish a Human Trafficking School Safety Protocol (HTSSP).
Our community outreach provides trainings ranging from safe relationships to human trafficking 101 in order to resource our
community in the fg-r againstirafficking. In addition to Youth Prevention Education and community outreach, Unbound
provides training io he p prafessianals identify and respond to survivors of human trafficking in specific work settings. Up to 88
percent of human tuff eking survivors seek healthcare while being trafficked according to the Polaris 'ro.ect, yet healthcare
professionals rarely icentify victims while in their care. Unbound partners with hospitals and clinics to equip healthcare
professionals to idertfy survivors and respond appropriately to intervene with life-saving resources.
11. describe how the project fits the mission of your agency.
Adult advocacy is an integral part of Unbound's mission. Lrboind exists to support survivors and resource the community to
fight human trafficking. Survivor advocacy provides 24F7 cr.sis esponse and ongoing case ma nag emeni for adult survivors of
human trafficking_ Advocates work tirelessly to support survivors in achieving restoration through trau maA nformed, survivor -
centered, and trust -based advocacy_ It is essential chat adult survivors have the proper support for theirjourney io step out of a
life of exploitation. According to the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, the longer victims spend in the trafficking situation the
more difficuit it is for them to respond to services made available to them ;Muftic, 2013)_ Therefore, it is vital for advocates to
provide an alternative through ongoing support and case management.
Adult advocacy prov des two primary services- crisis response, and ongoing support and case management. Crisis response
is on -call 2417, with avai ability to cannect survivors to emergency medical ireatmentalong with food, clothing, and
arrangement of emergency shelter. These services increase survivor safely and reduce maladaptive coping and potential
crime. Support and case management entails regular face-to-face meetings, safety -planning, harm prevention, goal -setting,
coup and interview accompaniment, transportation to needed services, wraparound services, and Crime Victims'
Compensation assis.ance.
Adult advocates accompany law enforcement on victim -centered operations and through the justice process, increasing the
ability of survivors to testify and therefore reducing the crime of trafficking in our community.
Additionally, this proje-ct allows for outreach events in the oammunity that raise awareness among vulnerable populations so
that they can keep themselves and their communities safe from trafficking_ All of this directly correlates to Unbound's mission
as well as the CCPD goal of increasing safety.
12_ describe the geographic area(s) you will serve (i_e_ city-wide, council districts, zip code, neighborhood, census
tracts, etc.j and why it was selected.
Unbound serves all of Fort Worth_ Jn Tarrani County, the primary service area for Unbound North Texas, there a•e mJl'iole
demographics chat are associated with vulnerabilities to human trafficking. 20% of the Tarrant County population are minors
and 10% of the population is in poverty. The foreign -born population makes up 113% of the population, 29.59G are Hispanic or
Latina, and 17.0% are Black {Quick Facts Tarrani County, Texas 2021, US Census Bureai}. Immigrants, Black, and Latina
people are underserved due to systemic racism, distrust of systems due to historic mistreatment, and fear of being detained
for immigration status in some cases (Toward a Mare Perfect Union: Understanding Systemic Racism and Resulting Inequity
in Latino Communities; An Unjust Burden: The disparate Treatment of Black Americans in the Criminal Justice System, Vera;
Wilkes, et_ al_ Immigration, Discrim nat cn, and Trust A Simply Complex Relationship). When these demographics interact
with a poverty rate aligned with tne nat onal average, vulnerabilities to trafficking and to criminalization as a result of trafficking
inorease. Our client data ref eats tnis.
While Unbound serves all of Fort'Norih, we are strategically located to be proitimate to areas with vulnerable populations. Cur
drop -in center is located on a centrally used bus line and is in the hospital district of Fort Worth. Furthermore, our field -based
advocates can go to all areas of Fort Worth, from Slop Six to Las Vegas Trail, meeting any client exactly where they are_

project, include a description of how you plan to maintain these services beyond the CCPd grant period-
Unbound's adult advocacy program is the recipient of the Office fo• Victims of Crime Enhanced Collaborative Model Task
Farce to Co•nbat Human Trafficking in partnership with the Tarran- County Sheriffs Office- Unbound has received $200,000
annually f,om this grant for the last two years and has potential to receive it for an additional seven years. Unbound's
advocacy .eadership are also partly funded Through the Office of the Governofs child sex trafficking team.
Unbound also receives private foundation grants, with private phi lanihrop o support for all our programs, individual support, and
church financial giving amounting to over $1,000,000 annually.
Unbound has a history of continuously exceeding our fundraising ob. ect oes, we have a reserve fund in case of economic
hardship, and our advocacy program is poised to reach more peop a twr ever before this year, making CCPd's support a
necessary component of a comprehensive development plan that wi I sistain the adult advocacy program for years to come.
14- If applicable, describe how your project addresses the CCPd Special Emphasis: PolicelCommunity Relations.
To receive points far Special Emphasis, agency must include a Special Emphasis outcome or actiw7yin the Project Plan
ae ctron--
Advocacy explicitly helps bridge the gap between police and communities who have been historically marginalized by law
enforcement. Through a two-year review of all suspected human trafficking incidents across the country, 40% of sex iraffioking
victims were identified as Black women. Another indicator that girls of color are particularly vulnerable is that traffickers self -
reported a belief that trafficking Black women would resu11 in less jail time than trafficking white women if caught (Snapshot on
the State of Black Women and Girls: Sex Trafficking in the U.S., Congressional Black Caucus Foundation). Youth who
identify as LGBTO+ are also at risk for both trafficking and criminalization. Far those who are both LGBTQ+ as well as
another group that is more at risk, this intersectionality creates an experience of increased vulnerablil ty and less support from
the community;: in particular, young trans people of color who experience sexual exploitation are often denied anti -trafficking
protections and may be regarded as offenders rather than victims (Boukti and Renz, 2013; Feh ren bachera, et. a1-, 2020)-
With many victims being from communities that have a historically poc• -e at o-is hip with the police (Ottisova, 2018), and
further com pl icated through repeated negative experiences with law eniorcemerrt, it is important to have a bridge through trust -
based relationships wish advocates. Studies show that survivors of gender -based violence, such as trafficking, are often not
willing to engage with the criminal justice system {dug an, 20031. Trust-basec re at onships are the key to successful
advocacy and case management. This concept is supported by a peer -reviewed study published in 2019 exploring the
protective power of interpersonal relationships on survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking (O'Brien, 2018).Through trust -
based relationships with Unbound advocates. and Unbound working with law enforcement to meet the needs of survivors of
trafficking, we bridge these gaps io improve community -police relations and improve the prosecution of perpetrators of crime.
Both of which increase safely in Fort V1'orth.

SUBJECT
(ALL) Authorize Execution of Contracts with Big Thought, Christ's Haven for Children, Rivertree Academy, SafeHaven of Tarrant County, and
Unbound North Texas From the Crime Control Prevention District Community Based Programs Fund in the Total Program Amount of Up to
$1,500,000.00 to Operate Crime Prevention Programming that Benefits Fort Worth Residents
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of contracts with Big Thought, Christ's Haven for Children, Rivertree Academy,
SafeHaven of Tarrant County, and Unbound North Texas from the Crime Control Prevention District Community Based Programs Fund in the total
program amount of up to $1,500,000.00 to operate crime prevention programming that benefits Fort Worth residents.
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 November 29, 2022, the Board reviewed and approved the recommendation to fund five crime prevention programs. The following programs'
awards total up to $1,500,000.00 and are funded by the CCPD Community Based Fund (25100). The five programs will have a contract term of
January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 with no renewals.
Funding will be allocated as follows to each agency in Fiscal Year 2023 on a reimbursement basis:
Big Thought ($300,000.00) - Implementing the program "Preventing Juvenile Incarceration Through Creative Solutions" to serve the adjudicated
youth of Fort Worth. This seven -week program occurs at Texas Wesleyan University and is taught by professional artist mentors using each
participant's track to teach workforce and college preparedness skills. The curriculum combines social and emotional learning skills and the
fundamentals of the artistic process to establish an immersive experience. At the end of the program, the youth produce their own performing arts
production or visual arts exhibition. This results in positive gains in social -emotional skills like engagement, cooperation, empathy, self -regulation,
and goal attainment. The program will serve youth in Council Districts 5 and 8.
Christ's Haven for Children ($300,000.00) - Funding will expand the Family Resource Center to serve at -risk youth and families in Fort Worth. The
Family Resource Center provides parent/caregiver education trainings, weekly food boxes, counseling services, and "Foster Family Care
Packages" containing food, toiletries, and clothing items. This program will serve participants in Council District 7.
Rivertree Academy ($300,000.00) - This is an expansion to the Behavior Management Program to serve Fort Worth students, grades Pre-K to
fifth. The Behavior Management Program uses a framework of interventions and supports to address students' behavioral and academic
challenges. The MTSS (Multi -Tiered System of Support) framework involves evaluating and placing each student in one of three tiers that correlate
with the academic and behavioral hurdles the child is experiencing. Mentoring, behavior management plans, one-on-one counseling, chapel
services, tutoring, and restorative practice sessions are a few of the services offered to help to serve students both academically and behaviorally.
This program will serve participants in Council District 3.
SafeHaven of Tarrant County ($300,000.00) - Implementation of the SafeHorizons Mentoring Program. Youth in home environments with domestic
violence are at increased risk of modeling those same behaviors as they grow older. The SafeHorizons Program focuses on youth ages 5 — 17
who come to the shelter with their families and provides them with support and mentoring services to work past this trauma. The program will serve
participants from all Council Districts.
Unbound North Texas (formerly Unbound Fort Worth) ($300,000.00) - This is an expansion to programming through the use of the Outcomes for
Survivors of Human Trafficking (OHTS) tool. Unbound North Texas provides 24/7 resources and trauma services to survivors of human trafficking
to aid them in their restorative journey. Advocates work closely with clients through motivational interviewing techniques to educate them on the
signs of trafficking and develop safety plans to avoid revictimization or criminal activity. The program will serve participants from all Council
Districts.
Funding is budgeted in the CCPD Community Based Programs Department's CCPD Community Based Fund for the purpose of funding the
CCPD Community Based Program FY23 project, as appropriated.
This M&C will serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
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 FY23 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.
