What is the mission of your agency? NewDay walks alongside parents, through classes and coaching in support of mothers and fathers involved with Child Welfare. Our FOCUS+ program increases responsible parent involvement to keep children in loving, safe homes. 6. What is the target group for this project? NewDay works with parents referred from CPS Region 3 and from Community Based Care - Our Community Our Kids (OCOK — conservatorship cases) involved with Child Welfare due to abuse/neglect. Referrals also come from the Tarrant County child welfare, child support, domestic violence, and family courts. Of the 650 mothers/fathers served in Tarrant by NewDay FOCUS+ in 2022, 67% made less than $30,000 with, on average, 2.4 children to support. Housing insecurity, high fuel prices, decreased purchasing power, minimum or no access to legal assistance and difficulty affording day-care for children are just a few of the challenges faced by parents in FOCUS+. More than half of them were either Hispanic or African American. According to current research, in times of economic crisis, these vulnerabilities are more pronounced for marginal groups —identified by race, gender, and immigration. In 2022, CPS Region3 - Tarrant had 2,251 confirmed abuse/neglect victims and 13 fatalities. Furthermore, 555 children were removed from homes. Texas ranks 47th in Family and Community (Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2023) and has a reunification rate below the national average (39% of children in Texas, compared with approximately 50% nationally) indicating a need for programs that can serve families involved in child welfare. We also have a diverse child welfare system, with approximately 46% of substantiated cases involving Latino children and over 21 % involving Black/African American children. 7. What is the crime/safety problem you are addressing? The children of our referred parents with CPS involvement have been removed or are at risk of removal from their families. They have already experienced multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES), i.e., abuse, neglect, parent's incarceration, divorce, or domestic violence in the home leading to high -risk behaviors including juvenile arrest or involvement in violent crime. Of the more than 25% of children that have experienced two or more ACEs in early childhood, they were 8X more likely to demonstrate behavioral problems in school. According to the U.S. Attorney General, "90% of juvenile offenders in the U.S have experienced some sort of traumatic event in childhood, and up to 30% of justice -involved American youth meet the criteria for post -traumatic stress disorder due to trauma experienced during childhood." They have experienced chronic (toxic) stress throughout most of their lives, and if/when removed and placed into substitute care, the stress increases. The complicated/overlapping nature of the criminal and welfare systems means that involvement in one likely causes involvement in the other. Children involved in neglect cases have likely been touched by the criminal system, in some way, and are more likely to be justice -involved through the foster care system. Parents referred to NewDay Services have mental health, substance abuse and domestic violence issues and are likely to have been incarcerated at some point in time during the reunification process. 8. What are the causes of the crime/safety problem identified in the previous question? About 15% of children entering foster care systems have an incarcerated parent and the children are more likely than their peers to be incarcerated. Children with corrections -involved parents are at the highest risk of becoming involved in either the child welfare or criminal justice systems. Moreover, the incarceration of women is driving even more children into the linked foster care/carceral systems. When fathers are incarcerated, 90% of children live with the mother. But, when mother is incarcerated, only 25% live with the fathers. Even a short-term removal has a lasting effect on children. Approximately 25% of foster children will become involved in the criminal justice system within two years of leaving care. The risk is even higher if they have had multiple placements or in group homes. The poverty and instability correlate with high risks of incarceration -they are likely to be charged with harsher crimes and receive a longer sentence. Finally, the racial disparity in both systems means children of color are more likely to have an incarcerated parent and therefore overrepresented in the foster care system. Overall, law enforcement investigates 28% of child welfare cases. Criminal investigations differ by the type of maltreatment. Investigations occurred in 54% of cases in which sexual abuse was alleged, 24% for physical abuse, 11 % for neglect, and 16% for other types of maltreatment. 9. How does your strategy address those causes? FOCUS+ is an interactive in -person or online class. It is comprised of our FOCUS program (10-week, 2 hours per week course) and a mentor -navigator who accompanies them for up to 6 months. It is a prevention/early intervention program that fosters resiliency in these families, their children, and the neighborhoods in which they live. (Resiliency is the ability to withstand adversity and bounce back from difficult life events.) The Mentor Navigator is a dedicated point of contact who helps mothers/fathers by training them to identify the personal/systemic barriers to their improvement. They help navigate resources - employment, housing, legal, education, medical, and community connections. They provide the initial/ongoing engagement of parents throughout the classes. FOCUS+ activities promote economic stability, self-sufficiency, foster responsible parenting, healthy marriage, and co - parenting skills. Self-sufficient parents 1) obtain/retain employment; 2) use problem -solving skills to take responsibility for their own problems; 3) identify/use the resources in their community; 4) make informed decisions by weighing options/consequences; and 5) develop/implement plans that will help them set and achieve goals. We strengthen their parenting by impacting attitudes, knowledge, and behavior. The process includes a variety of strategies designed to build on participants' strengths and overcome barriers improving the odds of reunification with their children. 10. What measurable impact will your strategy have related to crime and safety? NewDay will serve 500 Fort Worth mothers/fathers each year of this grant. Seventy percent of participants will graduate by attending 8/10 classes. Mothers/fathers will show retrospective improvement from pre- versus post-test measured on a 7-point Likert Scale on the following: • Fathers will show 50% improvement in ability to control their attitudes and actions rather than controlling things and other people outside their control. • Fathers will show 40% improvement in ability to teach/model behaviors to help their children become healthy and self- sufficient adults. • Mothers will show 75% improvement in their ability to set healthy coping skills such as: decision making, problem solving and boundary setting. • Mothers will show 50% improvement in ability to understand the effects of physical, emotional, verbal and sexual abuse on them and their children. In a 7/7/2023 letter to NewDay from the DFPS: "FOCUS+ is a program which can meet those needs and has a history of effectively doing so across several counties in Texas. The department has been collaborating with New Day to provide services to our parents. We have had great success with parents completing New Day Services and making the necessary changes to ensure the safety of the children." Narrative top 1.

Provide a brief summary of your project's activities and objectives (up to 375 characters). NewDay will provide our FOCUS+ program for 500 FTW mothers/fathers involved in CPS, Family, IV-D or Diversion Courts with children in foster care or at risk of removal from the home. When parents are empowered to protect and nurture their children well, children, families, and our communities are stronger and safer. Our goal is reunification in a safe, loving home. 6. What is the crime/safety situation the target group faces? Please explain the extent of the problem and what causes it to persist. Support your description with good sources. The children of our referred parents with CPS/Court involvement have been removed or are at risk of removal from their families. They have already experienced multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), i.e., abuse, neglect, parent's incarceration, divorce, or domestic violence in the home leading to high -risk behaviors including juvenile arrest or involvement in violent crime. "Child maltreatment roughly doubles the probability that an individual engages in many types of crime and the effects are worst for children from low socio-economic backgrounds. They start engaging in crime earlier and arrested as both juveniles and adults".1 Of the 25+% of children that have experienced two or more ACEs in early childhood, they were 8X more likely to demonstrate behavioral problems in school. According to the U.S. Attorney General, "90% of juvenile offenders in the United States [have experienced] some sort of traumatic event in childhood, and up to 30% of justice -involved American youth... meet the criteria for post -traumatic stress disorder due to trauma experienced during childhood." 2 They have experienced chronic (toxic) stress throughout most of their lives, and if/when removed and placed into substitute care, the stress increases. The complicated and overlapping nature of the criminal system and welfare system means that involvement in one likely causes involvement in the other. Children involved in neglect cases have likely been touched by the criminal system, in some way, and are more likely to be justice -involved through the foster care system. Parents referred to NewDay Services have mental health, substance abuse and domestic violence issues and are likely to have been incarcerated (up to 40%) at some point in time during the reunification process with their children making it difficult if not impossible.3 According to the DFPS 2022 Data Book, CPS Region 3 - Tarrant County had 2,251 confirmed abuse/neglect victims and 13 fatalities. Furthermore, 555 children were removed from homes. Texas ranks 47th in Family and Community (Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2023) and has a reunification rate below the national average (39% of children in Texas, compared with approximately 47% nationally) indicating a need for programs that can serve families involved in child welfare. We also have a diverse child welfare system, with approximately 46 percent of substantiated cases involving Latino children and over 21 percent involving Black/African American children.4 1.

What is the target population? Please include characteristics to describe their circumstances and how the crime or safety situation affects them. NewDay works with parents referred from CPS Region 3, and Community Based Care - Our Community Our Kids (OCOK) involved with Child Welfare due to abuse/neglect. Referrals also come from the Tarrant County Family, IV-D, and Diversion courts. Of the 650 mothers/fathers served in Tarrant County by FOCUS+ programs in 2022, 67% of mothers/fathers served by NewDay made less than $30,000 with, on average, 2.4 children to support. Housing insecurity, high fuel prices, decreased purchasing power, minimum or no access to legal assistance and difficulty affording day-care for children are just a few of the challenges faced by parents in FOCUS+. More than half of them were either Hispanic, African American, indigenous, or Asian, of which 39% were Hispanic or Black. According to current research, in times of economic crisis, these vulnerabilities are more pronounced for marginal groups —identified by race, gender, and immigration. In terms of income: 66.7% of our parents fall in the range of $0-$29,999, 17.88% $30039,999, 2.65% $40k-$49,999, 3.97% $50k-$59,999, and 9.93% $60k or more. Our clients have a history of military Service (6.44%) and 30.27% currently have a history of incarceration. The ultimate beneficiary (we make an intergenerational impact) of the program are the children of the parents served. The placement of these children in foster care and the removal from their families can traumatize them for life. We have identified that crime is a complex issue influenced by a combination of social, economic, psychological, and environmental factors, including... Poverty & Unemployment, Family Dysfunction, Lack of Parental Supervision, Incarceration, Low Educational Attainment & Literacy, Substance Abuse, Peer Influence, Mental Health issues, Cultural Norms & Values, and High -Crime neighborhoods. NewDay's low-income parents have fewer resources for effective parenting. Poverty can place severe strains on parent —child relationships, due to the highly stressful conditions caused by financial problems and material deprivation, thereby generating negative psychological effects and family dysfunction. The overrepresentation of minority children in the child welfare system is also well -documented. In Texas, only 39% of children in substitute care ever return to their families and home. Powerful statistics from the US Administration for Children, Casey Foundation, and National Foster Care Coalition follow: 55% of girls in foster care are pregnant by age 19, 50% do not get a high school diploma, 40% are either homeless or dead within one year of "aging out" (18 years old), 20% are immediately homeless after "aging out", and only 3% attend college after "aging out", 50% are incarcerated within two years of "aging out"; 74% of U.S. prisoners are former foster children; and 80% of those on death row are former foster children . 5.www.familypreservationfoudation.org 8. What action will you take to resolve the situation? Discuss how you will address the causes of the crime/safety problem described in Question 6. Please include: 1) What are the major activities; 2) How many will benefit; 3) How your project is unique & similar to other efforts; and 4) What sources were used to develop and inform your project. Historically, the child welfare system has worked reactively to child abuse/neglect but, in 2019, the federal government recognized the need to provide enhanced support to children/families and prevent foster care placements remodeling the system to bolster "child and family wellbeing" (prevention and early intervention) instead of reacting to incidents of child abuse/neglect with removal of the children. This changing landscape (Family First Prevention Services Act FFPSA) opened the door for prevention programs like FOCUS+. MAJOR ACTIVITIES: The FOCUS+ program includes the following: Outreach, Engagement, Classes, and Mentor -Navigation OUTREACH: Program Coordinators establish a relationship with CPS, OCOK, Family, IV-D, and Diversion Courts, caseworkers, and judges, raising awareness of the program and working to get referrals for parents in need. RELATIONAL ENGAGEMENT: Engagement Specialists build trust with parents referred to FOCUS+, providing information, resolving concerns, encouraging participation, and scheduling parents for an upcoming class. PARENTING CLASSES: Ten weekly, 2-hour classes offering curriculum based on an experiential learning model. Classes are facilitated by a trained para-professional covering core competencies - self -regulation, conflict management, positive discipline, ACEs, co -parenting, stress management, communication, character development, parenting roles, and CPS navigation. MENTOR -NAVIGATION: Our mentors are non -judgmental, assess needs and offer referrals to connect parents to resources. We decrease risk factors that lead to abuse/neglect and increase protective factors by building/strengthening personal resources for families to address difficult situations keeping children safe. HOW MANY WILL BENEFIT: 500 mothers and fathers with Child Welfare involvement that reside within the Fort Worth Police Service zip codes. DEVELOPMENT SOURCES: The FOCUS curriculum was developed for fathers in 2001 for the IV-D Child Support courts grant (2001-2021) with the Office of the Attorney General OAG) and added to CPS in 2008. In 2013 CPS asked for a mother's program replicating the successful father's curriculum. We added Mentor -Navigation to both programs in 2015. A paper showcasing NewDay's work with Texas CPS Fathers was shared at a National Child Welfare Convention and Annie E. Casey Foundation (Casey), well known nationally for their work in that arena, recognized FOCUS+ as the premier parenting program they had encountered. In October 2020, Casey offered their assistance to prepare FOCUS+ for further development/evaluation. Casey has been funding (2.5 years) the services of James Ball Associates (JBA) to get FOCUS+ evaluated/approved by the FFPSA Clearinghouse This evaluation will provide us with invaluable insights into the impact of our program on parents/children and will use this data to inform program improvements to ensure we are meeting evolving needs. 9. What are your anticipated results? Please include how the crime/safety situation will change and how you will measure success. Outcomes & Objectives Outcome Obiective #1 Improvement in ability to control parents' actions and attitudes instead of controllinq other people and situations outside their control. Trying to control people and situations, especially in times of crisis, often leads to violence and crimes against people in neighborhoods and/or their own children. By understanding their personal Circle of Control, they are less likely to try to force people or situations. Parents who co -parent without fighting reduce toxic stress on their children and violence in the neighborhood/home. They also learn to respond calmly to conflict between/with other caregivers of their children in a healthy, cooperative manner for the children's benefit. Outcome Objective #2 Improvement in ability to understand the need to provide positive experiences for their children that will help children develop into healthy, Independent, self-sufficient, well-rounded adults. Proper discipline, appropriate expectations and communication skills reduce conflict/violence and toxic stress in the home. Many parents relate they grew up in dysfunctional homes, and therefore have no frame of reference as to what makes a home functional. Outcome Objective #3. Improvement in ability to set healthy coping skills, such as: decision -making, problem solving, and boundary setting. We stress to parents how they must improve the way they view themselves since their self-esteem affects their relationships and influences nearly every decision they make. Safe/non-violent relationships with others and their families (children) are dependent on parents having a healthy self-worth. Outcome Objective #4 Improvement in the ability to understand the effects of physical, emotional, verbal, and sexual abuse on them and their children. Learning to deal with Domestic Violence (DV) and trauma helps the mother/father prevent violence in her own life, as well as the lives of her children. Outcome Objective #5. Reunification with children in substitute care or permitting their children to remain (not removed) in the safe and loving home that children need and want. We have identified key measures of impact that we will use to evaluate the effectiveness of our program, including the Curriculum Retrospective Survey Protective Factors Survey and Father's Challenges Survey. Curriculum Retrospective Survey: Pre- and Post- Retrospective Survey measured on a 7-point Likert Scale. Protective Factors Survey: Every parent arrives at FOCUS+ with a unique set of protective factors and challenges; therefore, we expect 30% improvement across multiple domains. This is a pre -post evaluation tool for use with caregivers receiving child maltreatment prevention services. Father's Challenges Survey: This is used to gather feedback and evaluate the effectiveness of the program in decreasing risk factors. 10. Why is your agency suited to lead this project? Please include your agency's experience, mission, partnerships, and nature of your services. NewDay has a long-standing (2008) partnership with CPS, which has enabled us to serve thousands of parents at risk for the removal of their children. This collaboration has been essential in helping us reach parents in crisis and providing them with the resources and support they need to build stronger families. We have an even longer connection to the Family Court (2004) with which we have worked closely to help parents in crisis. We provide staff and office in the Family Court. NewDay has worked with CCPD to provide services to this targeted population for multiple years. In February 2022, we completed our final RFR for provision of FOCUS+ for Mothers. Accomplishments from the 4th Q Narrative Report: Overall improvement in all areas of the Pre- and Post- retrospective survey was 83%; mothers showed a 102% improvement in ability to control attitudes and actions; graduates a 142% improvement in setting healthy boundaries; a 156% improvement in ability to control anger; they grew 83% in willingness to co -parent; improved by 70% in ability to provide age appropriate guidance and discipline; improved 72% in ability to teach/model behaviors that help children develop into healthy, self-sufficient adults; and graduates rated overall program effectiveness 96%. In 2015, NewDay was evaluated by CPS comparing fathers graduating from FOCUS to non-grads/non-attendees finding: • Fathers were 3X less likely to have a Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) and 4.75X Less likely to relinquish those rights when graduating from FOCUS+. They were 3.5X more likely to be in the final placement. • Mothers were 2.8X less likely to have a TPR and 2.3X less likely to relinquish their rights when Fathers graduated from FOCUS+. NewDay began adding the mentor -navigation module to FOCUS for parent classes in Tarrant County in 2016. We explored what worked, what did not, how to capture the case management data, began a resource directory, and learned how to engage clients and refine the process. Since then, NewDay has continued to provide mentor -navigation as a module added to FOCUS programs, creating the FOCUS+ program. The use of a mentor -navigator was also used successfully by NewDay (2016-2020) with the Nurturing Father's Curricula in a 4-year, PEI funded grant, (EFFECT). In October 2020, Annie E. Casey Foundation presented a PowerPoint, "FOCUS+ Mentor Navigator, Casey's Perspective on a Partnership". Aspects that aligned with Casey priority/national interest in Child Welfare • Age: 25% of clients are under 25 yrs. (Getting younger) • Location: Southwest/South-counties include urban, rural, and suburban locales. • Diversity: 1/2 White, 1/4 Latino, and 1/4 Black • Early and positive evaluation evidence • Serve mothers/fathers in both child welfare and child support. • FOCUS curriculum available in English/Spanish; facilitators and navigators speak English/Spanish • Mentor Navigators address prevention side more 11. What is your agency's mission? Please include how this project fits and how this project was developed. NewDay Services walks alongside parents, through classes and coaching, on their journeys to becoming the role models their children need. We envision all children grow and thrive because parents work courageously to provide a safe, loving home. Investing in keeping parents and children together in safe, loving homes is critical. Research shows that when parents are supported in the parenting journey, children thrive. Sometime parents find themselves in painful situations. Overpowered by fear and confusion, they feel alone and don't know where to turn. Without support in the toughest times, parents' choices can lead to devastating long-term effects for their children, future generations, and ultimately, society. In 1997, NewDay's founder, Randy Thomas went to the Tarrant County Family Law Center to support a friend and left determined to alleviate some of the suffering he witnessed. He subsequently created NewDay Services, a 501(c)(3) public charity that has supported a Family Advocate/Chaplain at the Tarrant County Family Law Center for 25 years. NewDay Has grown since then: providing a chaplain at the Juvenile Justice Center since 2001; providing the Fathers Offering Children Unfailing Support (FOCUS) to men delinquent on child support since 2002; and serving fathers involved with CPS since 2008. In 2011, NewDay Services became part of the collaborative, Fathers and Children Together (FACT) Program offering a comprehensive approach to responsible parenting. In 2011, NewDay contracted with CPS for providing the FOCUS for Fathers program throughout Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties. Beginning in 2020, we contracted to provide FOCUS for Fathers across all 19 counties of CPS Region 3. Due to the success of the FOCUS for Fathers Program and CPS' request for mothers, NewDay began offering FOCUS for Mothers in 2013. From 2016-2020, NewDay offered prevention/early intervention programs for clients on a voluntary basis through the Fatherhood: EFFECT Program funded by DFPS. In 2016 we added Mentor -Navigation (M-N) to all classes (FOCUS+). NewDay renewed their contract with DFPS/CPS (2020-2024). The grant was for both FOCUS Fathers & Mothers equitably, but mentor navigation was not included in the funding. We privately fund M-N. SMU Law Review, "Rethinking Foster Care: Why Our Current Approach to Child Welfare has Failed" supports NewDay's FOCUS+ Program stating- Since child welfare seeks to reunify families even after children are removed from their parents, it is crucial to engage families (NewDay's Relational Engagement is our "secret sauce"). Research shows that by ensuring that parents 1.) have an opportunity to be heard (mentor -navigation, 2.) Understand the proceedings (CPS navigation in class), 3.) are made certain that decisions are without bias (one-on-one support from staff and facilitators), and 4.) decision -makers are respectful, we can support the family and help ensure reunification. 12. What geographic area will you serve? Please include the relevant council districts, zip codes, or neighborhoods that will be served by your project. NewDay will serve all Fort Worth Council Districts using zip code data to include mothers/fathers in this grant, if awarded.

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 February 27, 2024, the Board reviewed and approved the recommendation to fund four crime prevention programs. The following programs' awards total up to $1,191,600.00 and are funded by the CCPD Community Based Fund. The four programs will have a contract term of April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2027 with no renewals. Funding will be allocated as follows to each agency in Fiscal Year 2024 on a reimbursement basis: Advocates for Community Transformation (ACT) ($300,000.00) will implement their program called "Collaborative Legal Advocacy Solution to High Crime in Fort Worth". ACT uses the civil justice system to create neighborhood safety. The agency collaborates with both local community partners and city stakeholders (police, city attorney, code). ACT will reach out to 1869 Fort Worth residents in Como, Northside, Highland Hills, Stop Six, and East Side neighborhoods. By shutting down 200 active drug houses alongside residents, ACT will intervene in violent crime, prevent future crime, and strengthen community/police relationships. Funding will be used to compensate an advocate manager and staff attorneys. This program will serve participants from Council Districts 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11. Communities in Schools of Greater Tarrant County (CIS) ($300,000.00) will implement their program "Case Management and Crime Prevention for At -Risk Students in Tarrant County". CIS works with contracted schools to provide case management services for at -risk students dealing with barriers to academic success. Adverse Childhood Experiences in the home like abuse, neglect and violence are frequently carried into the classroom. CIS is student -focused to create solutions that lead to a greater sense of belonging. CIS will serve Fort Worth ISD schools in zip codes 76104, 76105, 76106, 76112, 76133 and 76119. Funding will be used to compensate three Vice Presidents, a Director, transportation costs and project supplies. This program will serve participants from Council Districts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11. Journey4Ward ($291,600.00) will implement "Journey4Ward Counseling Program". The program aims to restructure at -risk youth's distorted thinking and perception, significantly reducing crime by addressing underlying factors contributing to criminal behavior with the tools and support they need to make positive choices and ultimately reduce crime. The agency will provide services to participants from all Districts, where most of their client base is situated in zip codes 76112, 76119, 76140, 76105, 76115, 76103, 76104 and 76134. Funding will be used to compensate a Counselor, Community Advocate/Outreach Coordinator, and computer and office supplies. This program will serve participants from ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. NewDay Services for Children & Families ($300,000.00) will implement FOCUS+ parenting program for 500 Fort Worth mothers and fathers involved in Child Protective Services, Family, IV-D (Child Support) or Diversion Courts with children in foster care or at risk of removal from the home.
