Staff members present:
Tina Boan, Monroe County Budget Manager

The Chair, Major Taylor, noted the existence of a quorum, and the meeting was called to order at
approximately 10:05 A.M.
Board members and staff members introduced themselves and disclosed any affiliations with applicants.
Rosemary Enright noted her affiliation with Southernmost Homeless Assistance League (SHAL). Major
Taylor noted his affiliation with SHAL. Larry Prescott noted his affiliation with Guidance Care Center.
Rosemary Enright made a motion to accept the minutes, Steve Torrence seconded the motion and the
motion passed unanimously. The Chair and Vice -Chair were approved through affirmation of the
minutes.
Laura deLoach - Hartle provided an update on the $78,864 Byrne JAG funds available to Monroe County
this year noting a reduction from prior year. She also provided information to the Board on the
$113,000 available in the Clerk's Drug Abuse Trust Fund. Laura informed the Board historically these
funds had been used to supplement the Byrne JAG funding but it was at the Boards discretion as to how
much, if any, of the fund to use. She directed their attention to the Funding History information
provided reflecting the Boards previous allocations of funding.
The Chair, Major Taylor, then called on each applicant to make a presentation and answer questions
posed by the Board:
• Samuel's House, Mindy McKenzie: stated their request was to purchase drug testing strips
since drug testing is a key element of their program. She indicated they spend approximately
twelve thousand a year on drug testing. Rosemary Enright thanked Samuel's House for
requesting less this year.
• Be the Change, Sunny Booker: shared they had lost a prevention coordinator this year. She
informed the Board they were a grass roots organization with no high paid executives. Sunny
Booker also stated no one else provides the services they provide. They need a Prevention
Coordinator at both Key West High School and Horace O'Brian. They are unable to run without
funding from the SAPAB. Steve Torrence asked how are they related to and do they work with
the Alcohol Coalition and the Monroe County Coalition. Sunny Booker spoke to this and after
clarification indicated they are not working with them.
• Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, Stephen Braddock: discussed the alcohol, substance abuse
and relapse prevention services they provide. He informed the Board their Emergency
Solutions Grant of 104,000 had been reduced down to 76,000 and the Homeless Assistance
Grant had been totally cut. Rosemary Enright noted this is the same application from last year.
• Heron Peacock, Rick Casey: spoke of the supported housing services they provide to the
mentally ill and those with a history of substance abuse and incarceration. He shared they had
also experienced a reduction in their funding. He explained the amount request is 30% of the
salaries to serve this group of people in both Marathon and Key West. Kris DiGiovanni asked if
they had beds available. Rick Casey responded the Heron is always full; they have some who
transition in and out but they are replaced with new people coming in.
• Guidance Care Center, Maureen Kempa: discussed the Jail In House program for women
housed at the Key West detention center including drug testing, adding evidence based
programs, relapse prevention and focus on the clinical nature of the program. Steve Torrence
asked about drug testing; why do they drug test and shouldn't the jail do the testing? A
discussion on this item followed. Maureen Kempa clarified the drug testing was a part of the
treatment program.
N
• Boys and Girls Clubs of the Keys Area, Dan Dombroski: discussed the SMART moves program
and how it allows them to work with the kids in smaller groups and address and identify issues.
A question was asked as to what time they start. Dan Dombroski indicated they try and start
at seven in the morning.
• Southernmost Homeless Assistance League, G. Lee Skillington: discussed the mobile outreach
van they operate for the City and how they have expanded services to address people leaving
jail. He explained they provide transportation to treatment, bus tickets, and they help those
coming out of jail obtain identification so they can get jobs and in some cases receive
disability. They want to expand their services. Rosemary Enright noted this is the same
application as last year.
To begin the funding process Sylvia Murphy made a motion to fund the applicants as follows:

Steve Torrence seconded the motion for discussion. Dialogue followed regarding the proposed
amounts. Laura del-oach- Hartle noted there needed to be a determination as to whether the Clerk's
Drug Abuse Trust Fund was going to be used. Discussion followed regarding the current $113,000 in
DATF available and the Boards traditionally conservative use of the funds. Sylvia Murphy rescinded her
motion and Steven Torrence rescinded his second to the motion.
Jane Isherwood made a motion to award funds to the following applicants from the two funding sources

Steve Torrence seconded the motion. Motion passed with Rosemary Enright voting no and Larry
Prescott abstaining.
Rosemary Enright made a motion to proportionately distribute any excess or shortage of funds due to
any changes made by the County Commission, FDLE, or applicant after SAPAB approval of
recommendations for FY 2013 -2014 Byrne funds. Sylvia Murphy seconded the motion and the motion
passed unanimously.
Stephen Braddock of the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition addressed the Board to inquire of the three
year funding limit which will impact them next year. Discussion amongst the Board followed.
Sylvia Murphy made a motion to add a year to the three year rule. Jane Isherwood seconded the
motion and discussion ensued. Following discussion regarding the three year rule, the purpose of the
rule and the fairness of the rule to all applicants, Sylvia Murphy rescinded her motion and Jane
Isherwood rescinded her second to the motion.
Steve Torrence then made a motion to rescind the policy of the three year limit. Holly Elomina
seconded the motion. The motion passed with Rosemary Enright opposed.
Rosemary Enright then expressed concern regarding the impact of changing the policy in light of the
SAPAB having noticed to everyone the three year program funding limit and that applicants may have
not applied this year and instead were waiting until next year to apply when the third year had been
completed for several organizations. Rosemary then requested a County Attorney opinion on this issue.
The Chair, Major Taylor, thanked everyone for attending the meeting. There being no further business,
the meeting of the Substance Abuse Policy Advisory Board was adjourned.

General Project Information
Project Title: FKOC SUPPORTIVE HOUSING: SUBSTANCE ABUSE EDUCATION
& RELAPSE PREVENTION
Subgrant Recipient: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Implementing Agency: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Project Start Date: 10/1/2013 End Date: 9/30/2014
Problem Identification
a. The relationship of alcohol and drug use to homelessness is reciprocal in that it is very difficult
for individuals with limited or no financial resources to remain in housing when much of their
money is spent on substances and, it is difficult for individuals to focus on treatment for alcohol
and drug abuse when their basic survival need for food and shelter is only precariously met.
Abstinence and relapse prevention is the most important part of substance abuse recovery and
the most successful relapse prevention program is one that can be reliably sustained over a long
period of time. Frequent urine testing has been shown to increase the probability of remaining
abstinent from alcohol and illegal drugs.
Alcohol and substance abuse prevention and education programs are essential components in
helping individuals heal from the underlying causes of their homelessness
and attain lives of sobriety, independence and self - sufficiency as contributing members of
society.
b. Last year, 59 % of homeless adults served by the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition (FKOC)
supportive housing programs had a documented criminal history; 99% of those individuals were in
recovery from alcohol and substance abuse; 62% were repeat offenders and, 44 % were
chronically homeless.
Clearly, alcohol and substance abuse is a significant probl em and an important factor influencing
an individual's ability to overcome homelessness. Given the co- occurrence of substance abuse
and homelessness, the theoretical reciprocal causality of substance abuse and homelessness
and the personal costs to homeless individuals and our community at large related to law
enforcement, incarceration, medical care and quality of life, the FKOC believe s prevention is an
essential component to helping individuals recover from their addictions and homelessness. For
most, residential and economic stability and self - sufficiency cannot be achieved without sobriety.
c. Addiction and relapse very often precipitates offender recidivism, causes and sustains
homelessness; particularly chronic homelessne ss. The greatest potential to reduce re --
incarceration and drug relapse among offenders is a continuum of treatment; one that
incorporates the need for complimentary services such as housing, peer support, life skills
education and relapse prevention.
A Point -in -Time survey conducted county -wide on January 29, 2013 indicated that 658 persons
and households are homeless on any given day in Monroe County. On that given day, an
additional ninety -nine (99) homeless individuals were incarcerated at the

Monroe County Detention Center (MCDC) representing 16% of the total inmate population.
Twenty -six (26) out of the ninety -nine homeless inmates had been booked into MCDC twenty -five
or more times over the past ten years for an average of thirty -six
incarcerations each. The highest number of bookings for one of these homeless offenders
was seventy -seven (77). These twenty -six individuals spent a combined 33,178 days in
the MCDC. At a per day cost of $80.40 per inmate, the cost to Monroe County was
$2,667,511.20.
All of the ninety -nine (99) homeless individuals incarcerated on January 29th had been booked
into the MCDC two or more times over the past ten years and spent a combined 62,224 days in j
ail costing Monroe County a staggering $5,002,809.60.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement awarded Drug Abuse Trust Funds to the Florida
Keys Outreach Coalition Substance Abuse Education and Relapse Prevention Program in 2012 in
the amount of $7,493.00.
Reporting for grant year October 1, 2012 through second quarter ending March 315 FKOC
admitted sixty -eight (68) homeless adults with a criminal background history; 12% entered the
program by referral of the Offender Release Program and court; 29 individuals (43 %) entered the
program by referral of Monroe County Sheriffs Office CARE4U Jail Diversion Program. Under the
current grant year, FKOC administered 5,172 drug tests through May, 2013.
Two Hundred Ninety -nine (299) homeless adults were served by FKOC in the previous year; 83%
completed the transitional housing program clean and sober and exited to permanent housing.
One hundred percent (100 %) of the grant recipients receive individualized case management and
additional services including life skills education; life enrichment programs; health
education /screenings; support with crisis intervention, advocacy and links to community and
mainstream resources. All clients served by Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant will have a
documented history with the criminal justice system.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
The Florida Keys Outreach Coalition understands that homelessness is not just a result of lack of
housing, but rather most often involves a very complex set of inter - related circumstances and
requires a comprehensive and holistic approach to its prevention and elimination.
With that recognition, the FKOC's emergency, transitional and permanent supportive housing
programs provides a wide array of essential supportive services that reach far beyond merely
offering food, hygiene and shelter, concentrating in particular on the special needs of homeless
adults recovering from alcohol and substance abuse.
FKOC's supportive services include:
> Intensive individualized case management providing clients with consultation, support, crises
intervention, advocacy and links to community and mainstream resources;
> Permanent housing placement

General Project Information
Project Title: WOMEN'S JAIL HOUSED DRUG ABUSE TREATMENT PROGRAM
Subgrant Recipient: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Implementing Agency: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Project Start Date: 10/1/2013 End Date: 9/30/2014
Problem Identification
South Florida, including Monroe County and the Florida Keys, continues to have the unfortunate
distinction of being designated as a high- intensity drug trafficking area and, as such, is a leading
illicit drug importation area. This, of course, has increased the availability of illicit drugs in Monroe
County resulting in drug abuse rates higher than both the state and national averages. Specifically
in regards to the female population of Monroe County which is the population of focus for this
grant request, the latest Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey compiled by the Florida
Department of Health reports rates of drug involvement as over twice that of the state average
and four times that of the much larger Miami -Dade County to the north. The Agency for
Healthcare Administration in its Emergency Department and Inpatient Hospitalization Data of
2011 publication indicates that female residents of our county had over twice the state rate per
100,000 population for emergency room treatment for acute drug intoxication. In addition, Monroe
has over twice the state average for DUI arrests and, consequently, almost three times the state
average for vehicular deaths involving drug use. For women with children, statistics from the
Florida Department of Children and Families indicate that 57% of foster care placements were as
a result of substance abuse by the mother between April 2011 and March 2012.
For many drug involved women, the obsession surrounding use and attainment of illicit and legal
drugs of abuse often lead to legal involvement, criminal conduct, neglect of family and self, and
ultimately incarceration. In addition; the destruction of parent -child relationships, increased
domestic violence, increased crime, child abuse and neglect, foster care placement, divorce,
stress on the legal and medical systems of a county with very limited resources, and global
negative effects on our communities and quality of life are also directly affected. Recognizing the
significant need for appropriate treatment among greater numbers of incarcerated women whose
level of drug involvement is such that they would not benefit from available outpatient treatment
and who are often the primary caretakers of children, the Guidance Care Center along with the
Monroe County Sheriff ?s Office created the Jail Housed Drug Treatment Program located within
the Monroe County Detention Center in 1992. It remains today as one of the few such programs
operated within a countyjail in Florida and the only opportunity for women to receive intensive
drug abuse treatment within Monroe County. Moreover, these women are able to get treatment
quickly instead of being one of the 66% of substance abusing Florida residents who desire help
but are unable to access treatment due to Florida's lengthy waiting list for substance abuse
services as reported by the Florida Department of Children and Families. This program has been
able to attain and maintain a very low recidivism rate (under 25 %) for women participants in the
last 5 years with the addition of evidenced -based practices and special attention to the unique
needs of substance abusing women. The program has a very close relationship with county
judges, attorneys, and the administration and staff of the Monroe County Detention Center as well
as city and county authorities. Women who complete treatment are often granted early release
from incarceration to return to their families and begin rebuilding their lives

and the lives of their loved ones thereby saving the county the expense of their continued
detainment. Skills attained within the context of treatment increases the chances of sustained
recovery, healthier family and other personal relationships, healthier children, and safer
communities.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
In 1992, The Jail Incarceration Program (JIP) was developed in the Monroe County Detention
Center and began providing substance abuse treatment services to county inmates to lay the
foundation for sustained recovery. The majority of clients are court ordered by the Drug Court,
Circuit Court and County Court Judges in Monroe County. The rest enter the program as
volunteers who have met the criteria for drug /alcohol treatment and will be in the county jail a
minimum of 182 days. The program has established a positive reputation county wide, working
closely with judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys throughout the county. DCF audits for the
past three years reported that this program meets or exceeds Best Practice standards with 100%
compliance. This year's funding will allow services begun with last year's grant to continue for this
population in the detention center.
In May 2010, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitative Facilities (CARF) evaluated the
JIP program for accreditation. The process of accreditation has strengthened assessment and
treatment. The Jail In -House Program met the highest CARF standards and received recognition
for its positive relationships between correctional staff and treatment/clinical staff. The agency has
submitted Annual Conformance to Quality Reports to CARF and continues to meet the highest
accreditation standards.
Client - centered individualized treatment plans tailored to the needs of women are a cornerstone of
gender- responsive treatment. After developing these plans in partnership with the program
participant, treatment plan reviews, case management services to provide community linkages
and monthly self - reports of progress continue to refine the plan. On -going program review occurs
through monthly focus groups with administrative staff and participants. The Global Assessment
of Individual Needs (GAIN) instrument provides a comprehensive assessment of client needs and
assists in developing a person - centered Wellness Plan that is updated with the participant every
30 days. Admission policies are welcoming to individuals with co- occurring disorders, learning
disabilities, and illiteracy, as well as other special individualized needs. This allows access for all
who probably otherwise would not receive services.
For women with a mental illness as well as drug addiction, a Mental Health Status Assessment
identifies impairments in functioning. Once identified, the client receives a referral to a mental
health counselor and the Prison Health Services psychiatrist as well as participating in services to
address the substance use disorder and criminal thinking and behavior. Treatment of mental
illness is monitored by program staff as a vital part of recovery from substance abuse. Participants
are given appointments with the Guidance Care Center psychiatrist upon completion of the
program and release from incarceration and assigned a case worker to help them with
appointments, treatment adherence, accessing of community services and medication assistance.
Psychotropic medications are provided free of charge to participants who cannot afford their
medications or who do not have insurance coverage.
Treatment in the program is a minimum of six months and a maximum of one year.

Aftercare services are encouraged as a part of re -entry planning and last up to six months once
the participant is released. The Guidance /Care Center provides aftercare throughout the Florida
Keys in community -based facilities. Aftercare is given priority and participants are enrolled before
they are released. These services are not funded by the grant and are available to all participants
regardless of ability to pay.
Program and corrections conduct random drug testing and positive tests resulting in 30 days in
lock -up and a return to court forjudicial review of the case. Tests used are the Reditest 10 panel
dip sticks testing for amphetamine, benzodiazepines, cocaine, opiates, synthetic opiates, THC,
PCP, barbiturates, MDMA and methadone. The program also has a relationship with the local
drug court to run tests on their spectrometry machine if test results are questionable which helps
to identify those who may have attempted to be dishonest by trying to mask the results.
Program services will be delivered using an evidence based practice Cogitative Behavioral
Therapy (CBT) curriculum entitled "Substance Abuse and Criminal Conduct: Strategies for Self
Improvement and Change Pathways to Responsible Living" authored by Harvey Milkman and
Kenneth Wanberg. Throughout the treatment episode participants use a client workbook that
belongs to them. The cost of that workbook is $22.00 per copy. Use of this workbook is subject to
change as more advanced evidenced -based treatment resources become available but will not
exceed the $22.00 cost. Treatment in the correctional setting will incorporate trauma - informed
and gender- responsive treatment through the use of the evidenced -based "Seeking Safety"
treatment model to promote the healing and edification of the human spirit. Seeking Safety offers
25 treatment topics, each with a clinician guide and client handouts. The seven interpersonal
topics are Asking for Help, Honesty, Setting Boundaries in Relationships, Healthy Relationships,
Community Resources, Healing from Anger, and Getting Others to Support Your Recovery. The
seven behavioral topics are Detaching from Emotional Pain: Grounding, Taking Good Care of
Yourself, Red and Green Flags, Commitment, Coping with Triggers, Respecting Your Time, and
Self- Nurturing. The seven cognitive topics are PTSD: Taking Back Your Power, Compassion,
When Substances Control You, Recovery Thinking, Integrating the Split Self, Creating Meaning,
and Discovery. In addition, four combination topics are Introduction to Treatment / Case
Management, Safety, The Life Choices Game (Review), and Termination. These relational
models support the development of healthy relationships with self, significant others, and the
community at large in order to reduce the risk of relapse and recidivism. Staff will use individual
and group formats to deliver core services.
The specific components of the treatment services will include:
> Education about addiction to include relapse prevention and the consequences of criminal
behavior
> Anger and emotional control
> Trauma- informed care and treatment to include sexual abuse and domestic violence
>A range of informational, emotional, and behavioral options to strengthen self and family
>Improving abilities to cope with their children and the world around them.
>Emphasis on physical and emotional wellness
>Parenting education and practice
>Learning, developing, and practicing positive coping skills.
>Developing and beginning to implement a realistic and hopeful life plan.
>Continuum of care supports participants by connecting and coordinating aftercare in the
community and though 12- step /support group involvement.

General Project Information
Project Title: SUPPORTIVE HOUSING TO PREVENT RECIDIVISM OF ADULTS
WITH MENTAL ILLNESS & SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Subgrant Recipient: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Implementing Agency: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Project Start Date: 10/1/2013 End Date: 9/30/2014
Problem Identification
The problem that we hope to help solve is that both locally and nationally, are jails /prisons
containing a significant number of non - voilent mentally ill men and women.
Since the 1980's the course of psychiatric hospital deinstitutionalization changed due to funding
policies, many perople with mental illness have been discharged without housing, community
support, help form friends and families, and treatment. Serious outcomes have been the
escalation of homelessness and increaing incarceration of people who are mentally ill. The jails,
prisons, and streets have now become the alternatives to therapeutic programs.
Monroe County Corrections reports that currently about 20% of those in the Monroe County
Detention Center have some type of mental illness. Former Sheriff Bob Peryam has stated that, "
we're looking at reducing the population of folks with mental health issues, drug or alcohol issues,
or homeless issues. Many of these people do not need to be in jail." Guidance Care Center of
the Keys reports that the majority of people with mental illness are low - level, non - violent offenders
who are exhibiting in public symptoms of untreated mental illness. The Detention Center reports
that 80 +% of those arrested have substance abuse problems.
Monroe County Corrections reports that currently about 20% those in the Monroe County

Center of the Keys reports that the majority of people with mental illness are low - level, non - violent
offenders who are exhibiting in public symptoms of untreated mental illness. The Detention Center
reports that 80 +% of those arrested have substance abuse problems.
A report entitled "More Mentally III Persons are in Jails and Prisons than Hospitals: A Survey of
the States ". The report indicates that, "For every one mentally ill person in a hospital in the U.S.,
there are more than three in prisons ". The report also asserts that 16% of those in prison have a
serious mental illness. This compares to a 1983 finding when the percentage was 6.4 %. To
compound this, the 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, Mental Health Findings,
reported that the use of illicit drugs in the past year was more likely among adults aged 18 or older
with past year any mental illness (25.8 percent) than it was among adults who did not have mental
illness in the past year ( 12.1 percent) This pattern was similar for most specific types of illicit drug
use, including the use of marijuana, cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, or heroin and the
nonmedical use of prescription -type psychotherapeutics. This makes it more likely that those with
mental illness will often come in contact with the criminal justice system.
Problem Significance
Heron - Peacock Supported Living provides stable, affordable supportive housing, in the "Housing
First" model, whereby housing is the critically required component in order to

make recovery successful. It has been shown that once people have housing they are more
receptive to participating in other programs to deal with mental health and substance abuse
issues. In addition, the supportive services we address mental health issues, improve life skills and
develop a treatment program that enables clients to remain a productive member of our
community. Information provided by the Monroe
Sheriffs Office indicates that it costs approximately $80.00 /day to maintain a prisoner in the
Jail. In addition, the daily cost of a stay at FL Northeast State Psychiatric Hospital is approximately
$233.00. By contrast the average cost per day for our programs is $46.52.
Needs Assessment
The problem of incarceration of adults with mental illness and substance abuse, especially those
who are not major offenders, is very serious and is growing. Almost all jail inmates with co-
occurring mental illness and substance use disorders will leave correctional settings and return to
the community. In addition, Monroe County has only one Assisted Living Facility with a Mental
Health License serving a total of 16 low- income clients (the Heron) and only one housing facility
with a total of 31 beds willing to take individuals with serious mental illnesses and substance
abuse (Peacock Apartments). In a recent study conducted by the MCJMHSA, occupants of
facilities in the area that provide housing for the homeless were interviewed. 59% responded that
they had been arrested at some time and 46% indicated that they had at some time received
counseling for a mental health or substance abuse problem. In addition, 86% reported that they
were participating in a program or shelter for homelessness. As such, there is an
interrelationship among mental illness, substance abuse, homelessness, and arrest/incarceration
that must be addressed. The Southernmost Homeless Assistance League (SHAL)from the 2011
Point -in -Time study performed indicated that there were 1,635 homeless people in Monroe
County at that time, of which 436 (26.7 %) people surveyed who indicated they had a disabling
condition, such as problems relating to mental health and /or issues with drug or alcohol addiction.
These are the very populations that our proposed project will serve. The 2009 survey indicates
that of the subpopulations of the homeless, one of those with the greatest need and the least
resources to serve were the mentally ill. In fact, for the past three years, data for Monroe County
showed that homeless people with mental illness have been first or second as areas of need with
the least amount of resources to serve this population. Outreach, intake, and assessment are core
elements of our supported services. In fact, the problems of inappropriate incarceration and its
link to homelessness have become so epidemic that the federal Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has identified major initiatives "to divert individuals with
mental illness from the criminal justice system to mental health treatment and appropriate
supported services ". Heron - Peacock Supported Living is the only supported living program of its
kind in the County serving this population, providing housing with support services to adults who
are persistently and chronically mentally ill. By directing these type clients to Heron - Peacock
Supported Living and similar programs, whether through diversion upon entry to the criminal
justice system or at reentry, we can provide a cost effective, stable housing and the supportive
services necessary for successful community

integration, therefore, decreasing the likelihood of recidivism. Heron - Peacock not only offers
a more effective recovery environment than alternatives such as homelessness, correctional
institutions, and State psychiatric hospitals, they are considerably more cost effective. In fact,
this past three years sixteen formerly incarcerated clients were among those that moved from
our program to independence in the community and within that timeframe have not again entered
the criminal justice system.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
The proposed project, Supportive Housing to Prevent Recidivism of Adults with Mental Illness &
Substance Abuse will address the program area of, Prevention and Education. It will accomplish
this goal by providing housing and supportive services to men and women who are mentally ill,
with a history of both incarceration and substance abuse. We will educate and actively monitor all
program clients to promote successful mental health treatment, recovery from drug /alcohol abuse,
with the outcome being, a reduction in future incarcerations among program participants. Potential
clients are referred by family members, the Guidance Care Center, Depoo Hospital, other area
homeless providers, and Monroe County Sheriffs Office upon reentry into the local community.
We also find value and demand, should the Sheriffs Office and court system develop the Jail
Diversion Program that has been considered. Services to clients include securing psychiatric
services, case management, securing disability or other financial benefits. This may include life
skill planning, supported employment, referral to day treatment programs, medication supervision,
substance abuse counseling and /or treatment. These services are provided by direct services
staff; facility Site Managers; and, full /part -time Mental Health Support Workers. These are the staff
engaged daily with our clients in providing support, referral and life skills. Historically and the
anticipated result of continued funding for this activity is to reduce or eliminate the reoccurrence of
incarceration. This is achieved by initially placing the client in the appropriate housing, either the
Heron (Marathon) or Peacock Apartments (Key West). This decision is based on client history,
mental illness diagnosis and client needs. Once the target population has secured housing, which
is the first and most significant barrier wellness and self - improvement, we work with each client to
develop an individualized personal growth plan and provide the supportive services and referrals
needed for the client to implement that plan. These services could The goal of this support is to
stabilize and work to improve each client's "wellness" in light of their particular mental illness
and /or substance abuse issues. The expectation is that this client, while having prior contact with
the criminal justice system, will not return to incarceration or make a successful transition from
incarceration.
This program does not require the purchase of significant equipment.

General Project Information
Project Title: BE THE CHANGE: MONROE YOUTH CHALLENGE ANTI - BULLYING
AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION
Subgrant Recipient: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Implementing Agency: Monroe County Board of Commissioners
Project Start Date: 10/1/2013 End Date: 9/30/2014
Problem Identification
Due to the economic downturn the state and nation are experiencing, prevention programs are
continuing to be eliminated for the youth in Monroe County. The Federal Title IV Program, Safe
and Drug Free Schools, had been completely eliminated in 2010. In 2011, the Federal program
Learn and Serve was not funded. These two programs were the primary programs addressing the
prevention and reduction of alcohol and other drugs use (ATOD) and violence and bullying in
Monroe County Schools. The Federal replacement of these programs is the Safe and Healthy
Communities Federal Grant - which is only being awarded to large communities like Miami -Dade
or Broward. Yet, it is well established that Monroe County faces many of the same risk factors that
would be found in those communities.
In June 2012, the School Board of Monroe County lost their full time School Safety Administrator,
relying instead on a full -time high school assistant principal to fill this essential role on top of his
demanding job. Prevention programs are not being organized county -wide - with the exception of
those being organized by community -based organizations. BTC has taken the lead on this effort
and our programming is more necessary than ever.
Anecdotally we have seen a rising number of students feeling isolated, distraught and hopeless
due to being teased and bullying in our schools and within community - a problem that social
networking has exasperated. This is being reported throughout the Keys but most specifically in
our middle schools. Suicide, cutting, truancy and use of drugs and alcohol are seen as last resort
solutions for our youth. Throughout our nation there are more campaigns and educational
opportunities than ever to counteract these issues: yet as a county, we are providing fewer of
these supports to our youth. For the upcoming 2013 fiscal year, Be the Change of the Florida
Keys Inc. /Monroe Youth Challenge Program (BTC) will experience significant and
unprecedented financial cuts:
? Will not receive the Education Consortium Grant funded since 2004
? Received a 20% cut from Monroe County on the HSAB grant
? Monroe County School will not receive the Florida Learn and Serve grant of which BTC was a
significant partner strengthening programming for our youth countywide during school, after
school and on weekends.
b. Problem Significance: Why is this problem significant to the applicant? Identify who is affected
by the problem including the specific types of individuals who contribute to and /or who are
negatively affected by the problem.
The philosophy that BTC utilizes when developing programming is that all youth are at risk of
making poor decisions and deserve the support of a caring community. We support all youth ages
0 -20 and their parents with a focus on those who exhibit the need for help in self- development or
who exhibit risky behavior. Every youth in the county is encouraged to participate in our programs.
Certain stages in a child's life are

specifically targeted, such as the transition age of 8 -9 grade where it is documented that students
are at a greater risk of feeling isolated and may resort to risky behaviors to "fit -in ". At this age they
are also at a greater risk
of being bullied. We also target children 0 -4 because we recognize the importance of early child
development, the intense importance of their parenting, and how these elements will support
school readiness.
BTC delivers unduplicated empowering programs to Monroe County youth and their parents. The
programs, whether they are for the pre - school age group or teens, encompass the Search
Institutes Developmental Assets®. The emphasis is to raise protective factors while reducing risk
factors. BTC is determined to provide environments for the youth to thrive academically and
socially.
The fewer assets possessed by a young person the more likely they will use drugs, alcohol or
engage in violent acts as indicated by the graph (created by the Search Institute - see attachment
for more information).

C. Needs assessment: Identify the current scope of the problem. Support this with factual
information. Use both qualitative and quantitative descriptive data that related to your specific
problem and geographic area.
According to the 2012 Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey, (which is administered every other
year) Monroe County youth consistently indicate they have higher risk factors and lower protective
factors than the average youth in Florida and in the nation. Protective factors are found in each of
the four categories of Community, Family, School and Religiosity. Monroe County has the lowest
religiosity protective factors in the state. Only 38% of our high school youth indicate support in this
area compared to 62% in the nation and 59% in the state of Florida. Community opportunities for
pro - social opportunities and rewards has increased monumentally each year in large part to the

commitment of our community based organizations to provide meaningful support for our youth.
This is the first year that we are below the national average in 10 years - Monroe County reports
62% of youth indicate protective factors in this domain compared to 63% nationwide. (believe this
slight lag is due to the lack of funding and programming for prevention and social education for
our teens in the previous two funding cycles. As funding continues to decrease there has been a
trend within our county to fund expensive correctional and substance rehab programs at an
astronomical cost per person versus continue our commitment to provide funding for
prevention /education. A much greater cost to our community both fiscally and in safety for our
citizens.
Other notable trends in our community:
? 29.3% of Monroe youth ages 10 -17 reported bullying has caused them worry
? 7% of Monroe High School aged youth reported bullying has caused them to skip school - 2.5%
hi her than the state avera e.
? 15.9% of Monroe youth ages 10 -17 reported they have been kicked or shoved in the past 30
days.
? 34.8% of Monroe youth ages 10 -17 have been teased or taunted in the past 30
days - 7.2% higher than the state average.
? One in four of Monroe County youth has admitted to bullying another youth within the past thirty
days.
Bullying is a serious threat for our youth and must be targeted in a systematic manner. From 2002
until 2012, Monroe County has effectively reduced the number of youth who try alcohol at a young
age (from 47.8% - 31.3 %), who binge drink (23.7 1 /6- 17.1 %) and have increased the number of
youth who believe it is wrong to drink regularly (14.7% - 18.2 %).
This "social norming" was completed with a strong commitment to prevention both in our schools
and our community, and while work is still needed in this area it is undeniable that gains have
been made. At this time, data would show that we are trending much higher than "normal" for
bullying, teasing, and the isolation and risky behavior that results from these actions. We must
continue to be as committed to keep our youth safe both at school, in their neighborhoods and in
their homes.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
BTC addresses the need to reduce at risk behavior and enhance academic and social success by
building internal and external assets in youth that include self - confidence, resilience, and
empathy, a sense of belonging, positive values and decision making skills. BTC does this by
supporting the youth to BE THE CHANGE and MAKE A CHANGE. Each participant is equipped
with an experience that includes the capacity to influence their own thinking.
BTC aims to address the root cause of the many problems our youth endure. To directly solve the
issues of bullying, substance abuse and violence, we seek to address the isolation, separation
and loneliness that underlie those above issues. Our organization strives to engage and empower
young people by fostering healthy connections and relationships with peers and adults. Young
people need to feel valued and inspired more than ever before so by engaging them as the
leaders that we see them to be, BTC steers young people away from potentially harmful outlets
they may otherwise participate in if

they lacked a community and opportunity to step into their greatness and see the greatness of the
people around them.
BTC targets all Monroe County youth regardless of gender, age or academic performance. BTC
seeks at -risk students, including those who have dropped out, have been arrested, failing school
or those who exhibit a sense of being isolated. BTC also works directly with parents since the goal
of this project will be to minimize risky -youth behaviors and develop protective factors for all youth
in Monroe County. BTC recognizes that the best change agents among youth are other youth;
therefore, BTC will continue its comprehensive approach to providing effective youth programming
led by youth.
BTC will offer three major programs:
1. BTC Community Playgroups were created to ease financial and emotional burden of addressing
the achievement gap between low income and other students. These disparaging effects could be
reduced as larger segments of the populations are serviced through playgroups designed to teach
parents how to raise their child's IQ and reduce parenting stress factors such as maternal
depression, and the risk of child neglect or abuse. The activities transfer real -life parenting skills in
a fun way and give the parent increased confidence on how to handle conflict and discipline and
the knowledge of how to provide needed services to their babies. BTC provides public playgroups
in low- income, at -risk neighborhoods. Monroe is a transient culture and these playgroups meet the
needs of parents, children, schools, and the community. Because they are held in common areas
every week and are free, they attract mothers with children from birth to school age where they
easily and quickly build trusting relationships. Through these relationships, information is
transferred from community -based initiatives to population groups who do not readily engage with
public agencies or utilize services.
2. Middle School years are often the turning point for youth. Many students drop out of
school shortly after ninth grade. A spike in discipline incidents occur in the 6th -9th grade years.
BTC believes targeting this age group will provide the youth support to avoid risky behavior.
Prevention and transition programs are devised specifically by students for students and target
the immediate needs of that population. Most programs are designed by high school students who
have benefited from BTC's Leadership programs.
3. High School signature programs such as Challenge Day will be the catalyst to involve youth
from all walks of life to serve as "Red Shirts" for BTC /BTC. These youth will mentor the middle
school and elementary school students in the community and will actively take part in leadership
opportunities and service learning.
Significance to the Community - BTC provides essential, asset building activities for youth in our
community. In this time of economic limitations, as families and agencies are cutting back, these
activities will be more needed than ever. The goals of JAG are the very same goals of BTC.
During the FDLE audits it has been communicated that they view the grassroots /community
approach of BTC exceedingly valuable. The sheer number of hours and clients that are served
combined with the unparalleled low- overhead makes every prevention dollar allocated worthwhile.
No Duplication - BTC's brings together other agencies, volunteers, and youth to provide the fabric
of oversight needed for our community for a fraction of the cost of other agencies. The majority of
other agencies in our community only target families and

children, who suffer from addiction, or abuse, and whose issues are substantially more costly to
the tax - payers. Funding BTC with the full amount will certainly be a savings for tax - payers but
may also save pain for the individuals who experience loss from isolations, drugs, violence and
other risky behavior.
