What is the mission of your agency? Through partnerships with industry, businesses, government, schools, and community organizations, CLC, Inc. provides exemplary educational, training, and employment services designed to improve jobs and careers for individuals who need them. 6. What is the target group for this project? Emerging Priority/Adjudicated Youth & Adults ages 16 to 24 - Programming aimed at reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors with youth and adults that have been adjudicated. CLC, Inc. is applying under this priority and proposing to reduce crime through community partnerships to access crime prevention and intervention, education, mentorship, training, and employment. The YARP project seeks to reach Adjudicated Youth & Adults, covering Districts 5, 8, and 11, covered by zip code 76119. In 2023 there were 19,893 crimes committed in these districts. Southeast Fort Worth includes neighborhoods such as Glen Crest, Echo Heights, Edgewood, Eastland, and parts of Stop Six; 96.2% of youth attending public schools in this area come from low-income families; 36% of the population has less than a high school diploma, while only 32.10% have a high school diploma or GED. These Data suggests that there is a high likelihood that 68.10% of the 8,179-youth aged 10-19 in this area may not attend college. Minority students make up an average of 97% of the student population. The School Dagger ranking for the schools in this area averages less than 1.1 out of 10, compared to Fort Worth ISD's score of 2 out of 10, which places it in the bottom 50% of public schools in Texas. The likelihood of students being absent or dropping out increases significantly in middle school and beyond. These factors suggest that they are at a higher risk and more susceptible to crime and reoffending. 7. What is the crime/safety problem you are addressing? Emerging Priority/Adjudicated Youth & Young Adults —Programming aimed at reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors for adjudicated youth and young adults. The zip code 76119 has a population of 50,850 and a crime rate higher than 72% of other zip codes. According to City-Data.com, the most prevalent crimes in the 76119-zip code include assaults, robberies, burglaries, larceny, and thefts. Additionally, there are 286 registered sex offenders residing in this zip code. The FWPD's First Quarter Report of 2024, which is close to 2023 data, indicates that the crime rate for all quarters reflects theft -related crimes (including motor vehicle -related) as the highest, followed by assault, burglary, and drug/narcotic crimes in Districts 5, 8, and 11, which zip code 76119 covers. Youth are involved in these crimes, especially due to low family income, lack of education, and employment. Due to the high crime rate in the area, new residents cannot be attracted, lessening the chances of business development and other economic activities. This is evident by the limited shopping centers and the lack of major employers. CLC, Inc.'s YARP project will result in a measurable, overall reduction in crime in the districts served and will reduce the rate of recidivism resulting in a measurable reduction in crime for those adjudicated youth and young adults participating in the program. 8. What are the causes of the crime/safety problem identified in the previous question? The targeted area has deep-rooted public safety issues related to crime, which are linked to school dropouts, lack of job skills and economic opportunities, limited higher education, unemployment, poverty, domestic violence, divorce, and the rise in single -parent households primarily led by single mothers. Elevated levels of poverty are a major contributing factor to crime. Additionally, the absence of educational opportunities, job skills training, sports and recreational facilities, positive role models, and mentoring leaves many young people without guidance and opportunities. For a significant portion of the population, drug and alcohol abuse leads to increased aggressive behavior and other criminal activities. Over 25% of aggravated assaults are related to alcohol or drugs. Zip code 76119 is the poorest in the area and is typical of the districts the project will cover. The median household income of 76119 is $41,368, and post -secondary education is 8.02%. Censusreporter.org reports that 33% of the population in 76119 is below the age of 19. This large youth population is susceptible to increased juvenile delinquency. According to the Tarrant County CYD 76112 & 76119 FY24 CSNA study, 76119 ranks first among the 92 Zip codes in Tarrant County for child maltreatment risks and juvenile delinquency rate provided by LIT Population Health and DFPS. It has one library (Meadowbrook), a community center (Eugene McCray), and an existing Youth program (ACH Child & Family). 9. How does your strategy address those causes? The Office of Juvenal Justice & Delinquency Prevention has listed the DOL YouthBuild Program, an evidence -based program, as "Promising." CLC, Inc. will leverage funding from its YouthBuild program to address the lack of education, role modeling/mentoring, job skills, and employment. CLC, Inc. will provide the following services: 1. Personal Mentoring for Youth 2. GED (for those participants needing a GED) 3. CLC, Inc. Skills Training including Pre -Apprenticeship 4. Computer Literacy 5. Civics Responsibilities 6. Job Search, Placement and Follow-up CLC, Inc. will closely collaborate with its community partners, including workforce centers, neighborhood associations, police, schools, churches, business and industry, and other interested parties. It will also work as a 'Referral Agency/Hub' to improve resource access. CLC, Inc. will pursue a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with partnering agencies. The achievement of values through mentoring, education, job skills, and employment at a family -sustainable wage will have a multigenerational impact on the families involved, reducing poverty and crime and instilling hope for the future. CLC, Inc. will leverage funds through our YouthBuild program, allowing us to serve more participants. CLC, Inc. programs, such as the Youth Offender Reentry and OneStar AmeriCorps, will enable us to provide needed services to the target population. These programs offer comprehensive reentry support services with individual mentoring to 10. What measurable impact will your strategy have related to crime and safety? YARP will have a positive, measurable impact in reducing crime and recidivism for participants. The following goals will measure the program's success: • Serve 75 youth and adults during the 3-year grant period. • 50% of participants without a high school diploma or GED will attain that credential. • 70% of participants will graduate from a training program. • 60% of participants will obtain employment. • Recidivism will be less than or equal to 9%. • 80% of the participants will receive basic computer literacy. • 90 % of participants will pass the CLC, Inc. Civic Responsibility Test. • 80% of the participants will be free of arrest annually. • 30% of the participants will complete certifications from CLC, Inc.'s skills training courses in manufacturing, building trades, and logistics. • 100% of participants will have mentors assigned and will closely work with them. • 10% of the participants will enter post -secondary education. CLC, Inc. will conduct three annual workshops with community partners and participants to assess the program's effectiveness. Youth mentored through structured programs are less likely to engage in criminal activities. Mentoring can positively impact educational outcomes, reducing the likelihood of dropping out and involvement in criminal behavior. Mentored youth will develop better communication, conflict resolution, and critical thinking skills. It can lead to positive life trajectories that impact crime rates over time.

Objectives include GED/High School Diploma, employment, and reduced involvement with the criminal justice system. 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. According to City-Data.com, the most prevalent crimes in the 76119-zip code include assaults, robberies, burglaries, larceny, and thefts. Additionally, there are 286 registered sex offenders residing in this zip code. The overall crime rate in 76119 is 43.13 incidents per 1,000 residents during a standard year. A Home without a security system is 300% more likely to be robbed. Many crimes are committed in retail areas in blocks where few people live. According to crimegrade.org, Property Crime includes burglary, theft and vandalism. Violent crimes are assault, robbery, and homicide. Drug Related Crimes include possession, distribution, or trafficking of illegal substances. Gang Activity includes Gang -related violence, drug trade, and territorial disputes-. Zip code 76119 is the poorest in the area and is typical of the districts the project will cover. The median household income of 76119 is $41,368, and post -secondary education is 8.02%. censusreporter.org reports that 33% of the population in 76119 is below the age of 19. This large youth population is susceptible to increased juvenile delinquency. According to the Tarrant County CYD 76112 & 76119 FY24 CSNA study, 76119 ranks first among the 92 Zip codes in Tarrant County for child maltreatment risks and juvenile delinquency rate provided by UT Population Health and DFPS. It has one library (Meadowbrook), a community center (Eugene McCray), and an existing Youth program (ACH Child & Family). The First Quarter Report of 2024 of the FWPD, which is close to 2023 data, indicates that the crime rate for all quarters reflects theft -related crimes (including motor vehicle -related) as the highest, followed by assault, burglary, and drug/narcotic crimes in Districts 5, 8, and 11, which zip code 76119 covers. Youths are often involved in these crimes. Contributors are poverty, lack of education, unemployment, domestic violence, divorce, and the rise in single -parent households primarily led by single mothers. Additionally, the absence of alternative educational opportunities, job skills training, sports and recreational facilities, positive role models, and family or community mentoring leaves many young people without guidance and opportunities. For a significant portion of the population, drug and alcohol abuse leads to increased aggressive behavior and other criminal activities. Over 25% of aggravated assaults are related to alcohol or drugs. Due to the high crime rate in the area, it cannot attract new residents, nor can it develop businesses and other economic activities. This is evident by limited shopping centers and the lack of significant employers. CLC, Inc.'s YARP project will result in a measurable, overall reduction in crime in the districts served and will reduce the rate of recidivism among participants. This will result in a measurable decrease in crime for adjudicated youth and young adults participating in the program. 7. What is the target population? Please include characteristics to describe their circumstances and how the crime or safety situation affects them. Emerging Priority/Adjudicated Youth & Young Adults and at -risk youth ages 16 to 24—Programming aims to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors for adjudicated youth and adults. CLC, Inc. is applying under this grant priority and proposing to reduce crime through partnerships with community -based organizations to provide crime prevention and intervention programs, education, mentorship, skills training, and employment. CLC, Inc.'s YARP project seeks to reach Adjudicated Youth & Young Adults, covering parts of Council Districts 5, 8, and 11, primarily covered by zip code 76119. In 2023, 19,893 crimes were committed in these districts. Southeast Fort Worth includes neighborhoods such as Glen Crest, Echo Heights, Edgewood, Eastland, and parts of Stop Six; 96.2% of children attending public schools in this area come from low-income families; 36% of the population has less than a high school diploma, while only 32.10% have a high school diploma or GED. This data suggests that there is a high likelihood that 68.10% of the 8,179 youth aged 10-19 in this area may not attend college. Minority students make up an average of 97% of the student population in this area. The School Dagger ranking for the schools in this area (76119) averages less than 1.1 out of 10, compared to Fort Worth ISD's score of 2 out of 10, which places it in the bottom 50% of public schools in Texas. The likelihood of students being absent or dropping out increases significantly in middle school and beyond. These factors suggest that they are at a higher risk and more susceptible to crime and re - offending. According to TASB.ORG (Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), exposure to violence can lead to post -traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, and other mental issues. As a coping mechanism, young people may turn to drugs and alcohol, leading to addiction and related problems. Trauma can interfere with learning concentration, affecting academic performance. High crime rates may make it challenging for young people to attend school safely and focus on their studies. Limited job opportunities in high -crime areas can make it difficult for young people to find stable employment. Lack of access to community resources like after -school programs, counseling, and mentorship can further disadvantage at - risk youth. Young people living in high -crime areas may be pressured by peers to engage in criminal activities. The absence of positive role models can contribute to negative behaviors and choices. High crime rates may discourage community involvement and participation in local initiatives. 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.

Some of the key geographical factors and lack of community resources and facilities in 76119 contribute to its higher incidence of crimes among youth and young adults in the area. According to the National Institute of Justice (nij.ojp.gov), research suggests that a neighborhood's physical layout and features are strongly linked to crime rates and residents' perception of crime. Some of the geographical factors that can influence juvenile crime: Housing Design and Block Layout: Areas with poor visibility, many hiding spots, and unlimited landscape routes for residents tend to have higher fear of crime. Neighborhoods with better surveillance and clear delineation of public and private spaces are welcome for more robust control by law-abiding residents. Land use and circulation patterns: high claim rates often have easier access with wider streets, while low crime neighborhoods tend to have narrower one-way streets that limit the entry percentage of commercial zoning, which can also impact crime rates. Physical deterioration: Visible signs of disorder, such as graffiti, trash, and property deterioration, can influence perceptions of an area's vulnerability to crime. National Recreation and Parks Association (nrpa.org), in that the absence of structured recreational programs is associated with high delinquency and crime rates among youth. Recreation centers without structured activities may attract youth social problems. Lack of quality schools and educational programs and low academic achievement are linked to higher juvenile crime rates. Youth.gov states that the lack of availability of mental health treatment is crucial to many justices involved in youth mental health challenges that require intervention. Implementing evidence -based substance abuse prevention and treatment programs is highly recommended for this area, considering the findings of youth.gov. 13.
