She noted that 8 applications for this funding were received and that the requests exceed

Lisa Tennyson then summarized the status of the Clerk's Drug Abuse Trust Fund (DATF)
money, She noted that last year the DATF was utilized this funding to supplement the
Byrne ]AG funding in the amount of about $20,000. She informed the Board that the fund
earned approximately $1O,OOOthis year and that, in total, there is approximately $118,000
in the fund, Lisa informed the Board that they needed to decide whether and how much of

the [}ATF.The motion passed unanimously.
Lisa Tennyson suggested that the pot of money to be distributed be an even amount. A
motion is then made and seconded to take $28,504 from the DATF, leaving $111,000 to be
distributed. The motion passed unanimously.
Rosemary Enright took a moment before presentations to explain that Byrne JAG funding is
generally used as seed money and the Board is looking for innovative ideas.
Lisa Tennyson explained that starting in FY12 (last year), there was a rule that a particular
program cannot be funded for more than 3 years. Some of the organizations are in their
second year. This applies to a particular program, not the organization that is applying for
funding.
Applicants for the Byrne JAG and DATF funding then made presentations and answered
questions from the Board:
Jane Isherwood, Drug Court: noted success of Drug Testing Lab program and that any
funding received would continue to process to make the program self-sufficient. This
program is in its second year.
Steve Torrence asked how the program is meeting these new requirements to be
innovative. Holly Elomina replied that the requested funds are for a new piece to the
program: a lab manager. Rosemary Enright asked what the cost for analysis was and Jane
Isherwood replied with amounts for many different types of screening. Rosemary Enright
also questioned what other agencies this program provided services to and Jane Isherwood
listed many organizations: DJJ, Sheriff, A Positive Step, DCF, Wesley House, Teen Court,
Samuel's House, and also the State Attorney's Office for hiring purposes.
Elmira Leto, Samuel's House: discussed court orders of women to her facility and how
they are a high -need population, thus her request for case management and drug
testing funds. This program is in its second year.
Steve Torrence wanted to know what the $20,000 requested would be used for and Elmira
Leto responded that $12,000 would be used for case management and originally $4,000
would be used for client fees but due to the amount of work that the case manager has to
do, she would like to move that $4,000 in her budget to the case manager, totaling $16,000
for case management. The last $4,000 is for random drug testing.
Jane Isherwood wanted to know how Samuel's House was paying for the case manager now
and Elmira Leto responded that they have a clinical social worker that is now a case
manager, two full time case managers and two part time case managers. She picked one of
those to bill directly to Byrne funding. Jane Isherwood questioned what last year's Byrne
money paid for and Elmira Leto responded with client fees, case management, and drug
testing. Rosemary Enright wanted to know why Samuel's House couldn't take more
advantage of the Drug Court resources for drug testing and Elmira Leto responded that they
normally drug test during the weekend timeframe when no services are available.
Gina Pecora, Florida Keys Outreach Coalition (FKOC): spoke of need to fund increasingly
important drug testing supplies and explained that last year she spent $7,500 on drug
testing and that is why there is an increase this year. This program is in its second
year.
Rosemary Enright inquired why FKOC didn't send people to the Drug Court for testing. Gina
Pecora responded that she would love to. Commissioner Murphy questioned if people who
worked while at FKOC could pay the cost of the drug test and Gina Pecora explained that
there is a three tier system in place based on how long clients have been at FKOC, with
increasing amounts in fees and that those fees do cover the costs of the drug tests. FKOC
needs funds to drug test the clients in the first six months and only for those clients with a
criminal history background. Rosemary Enright wanted to know ifFKOC had permanent
housing and Gina Pecora stated that clients eventually transferred out since itisa two-year
program.
� Rick Casey, Heron Peacock Supportive Living: discussed his prograrn'sunique population
who have substance abuse/mental health/history of incarceration issues and that his
program is cost effective when considering the alternatives. This program is in its
second year.
Rosemary Enright questioned how Heron Peacock got referrals and Rick Casey explained
that his clients come from jail, the K0TS program, and referrals from other agencies.
� Nadine Hood/ Guidance Care Center(GCC): discussed the need for continued funding for
their program. This program is in its second year.
Steve Torrence questioned what {5CC asked for last year and Nadine responded that she
requested the same amount of$45,OOO to pay for a counselor, workbooks and drug testing.
She explained that the program received $30,000 last year and it is the same program and
the numbers are the same, with 26clients currently in the program and 16cornp|eted so
far. Rosemary Enright wanted to know if they were applying for the Jail In -House program
(]IP) and Nadine Hood responded with a confirmation that it was, but just the female
population,
� Dan Dombrowski, Boys and Girls Club: explained school issues from two years ago, why
they rolled over funding and did not apply last year; also funding is to extend the
services to additional morning hours and community service projects. This program is in
its first year.
Jane Isherwood stated that evidence -based treatment was towork with parents aswell as
the kids and questioned if they were doing that. Dan Dombrowski explained that it was
hard as program for kids whose parents' work to really involve the parents in more than
special events and some community service projects. IfBoys and Girls Club gets the
funding, they can expand hours and potentially reach more parents that way.
° Wendy Coles and Steve Clark, 5HALMobile Outreach program: discussed changing their
proposed budget from funding identification of homeless to funding case management
for this pilot program; explained connection to helping repeat offenders who are
homeless as soon as they get out of incarceration and before they hit the streets. This
program is in its first year.
Chief Taylor inquired about the area of services and Wendy Coles explained that because
they have not received enough funding, they will not baexpanding to Big Pine as intended,
however, there is n lot of interest in Big Pine.
Jane Isherwood wanted to know how the budget will be used for case management since it
was not in the application. Lisa Tennyson explained that she recommended to SHAL that
they request funds for a different component of their program since the particular expense
requested was not eligible for FDLEfunding. Jane Isherwood wanted toknow the cost ofa
case manager and Wendy Coles explained that her two case managers make $72,000 and
$6,000 was a portion of one of their salaries.
Lisa Tennyson questioned what the ¢G,OOO will gain the program if they cannot find other
sources of funding. Wendy Coles explained that their budget ia$1O8,OOOand they were
going after another $52,000fronn HUD which requires a match. SHALneeda local support
to fund the match and they were going to ask the City of Key West and Klaus Murphy
Foundation. Lisa Tennyson further inquired that if they do not get that funding, how they
will use the $5,000 requested in Byrne funds. Wendy Coles stated that SHALwould use the
funds Losupplement another part ofthe program.
A.B. Ma|my inquired about the E5G grant and how it would come to SHAL and Wendy Coles
explained that it would come as pass -through dollars, but there have not been any other
Coalition entities asking for the funding, and it has been announced yet.
Rosemary Enright wanted clarification that SHAL would be providing direct services with the
requested Byrne money and Wendy Coles confirmed that they would be providing direct
services. Chief Taylor explained that they are services that no one else is providing from a
mobile standpoint. Rosemary Enright questioned if5HALwas receiving other money from
Monroe County and Wendy Coles stated that SHAL got $3,000 last year from HSAB, $2,300
last year from the Sheriff's Shared Asaed Forfeiture Fund. Rosemary Enright wanted to
know what the City of Key West gives to SHAL and Wendy Coles responded that they get
$3,000 per month for the mobile program and $400,000 for KOTS,
Sunny Booker, Be The Change/Monroe Youth Challenge Program (MYCP): discussed that
Byrne has always funded these parenting programs and playgroups. This program is in
its second year.
Jane Isherwood wanted to know how much the parenting programs cost and Sunny Booker
responded that for one 11-weekcourse for 26 parents, it was $2,650. The classes are
offered 4 times a year with playgroup leaders working 2 hours a week plus preparation and
materials. Sunny Booker further explained that they were attempting tocomplete 8
playgroups this coming year with the requested funding, but that it is just one component of
the funding they are requesting.
Rosemary Enright wanted to know if MYCP completed 8 playgroups this year and Sunny
Booker replied that they have done 5 this year because Key West isthe hardest area right
now Lo bring local parents into the classes. Rosemary Enright wanted to know huvv MYCP
got referrals and Sunny Booker explained that they get referrals through the school,
through other parents, Wesley House and some church groups,
A.B. Ma|Vy inquired huvv MYCP was able to coordinate with other school programs so that
there isnoduplication. Sunny Booker explained that MYCP works with school staff and
groups such as the School Health Advisory Council to share information. When the schools
want to teach a certain program, MYCP ensures that they are teaching something different.
Presentation portion ended.
Lisa Tennyson had some reminders for the group: the Board recommendations go to the
BOCCon June 2O,^; the applications are submitted to FDLE through an online system;
adjustments to their current applications need to be in as soon as possible and before the
end of June at the very latest; FDLE did auditing through on -site monitoring last month and
all the organizations passed with flying colors; FDLE has new performance measures and
they might be retro activated; budgets have to unit cost format sothey will work one-on-
one on those and be responsive to County staff requests for information; expenditure and
performance reports have to be timely; it is important to read and thoroughly understand
your contracts, especially when reporting; ChiefOiGiovanni and Steve Torrence should be
aware that the 51% letters required by FDLE are coming.
Deliberations of funding amounts began.
4
Rosemary Enright stated that historically the organizations ask for more money every year
and subsequently get more money every year. This is not fair, especially in this climate
where the Byrne JAG funding issmaller and there are more applicants. The organizations
need toconsider this and be aware of how much everyone is asking because this makes for
a difficult decision.
Chief Taylor commented that the organizations should be working for sustainabi|ity after the
money runs out. It is important in future applications to give the Board insight into how
they are going to do that. The organizations need to project their future beyond the Byrne
JAG grant funding.
Rosemary Enright proposed funding the two organizations that asked for the smallest
amounts and to split the rest of the money between the organizations evenly.
Commissioner Murphy disagreed and wanted the process to be fairer. Jane Isherwood
commented that the process should prioritize the programs, which save the most money
and what is going to help the most. Jane Isherwood suggested MYCPasa program for kids
has more impact and the County will get more for their dollar.
A.B. Ma|0y stated that some programs are harder to sustain because don't have funding
through client fees. For example, in the ]IPprogram, there is noway to raise client fees and
no other sources of funding. This issue makes Bustainabi|ity harder for some programs.
Chief Taylor commented that it was true but the Board is looking atthe full gamut from
prevention for kids to more reactive programs and they all do good work. Chief Taylor
wants to help everyone here.
Holly Eiorn|na proposed that Drug Court reduce its request to $13,536, which iaaquarter of
the salaries portion of their budget. Holly E|ornina then proposed $13,536 for Drug Court,
$6,000 for SHAL, and $7,493 for FKOC equaling $27,029, cornea out of the OATF. The
amount is just under the $28,504 amount the Board committed to taking out of the DATF
earlier. The rest of the organizations can split the the Byrne ]A{5 money, $82,496, getting
$16,499.20each.
Commissioner Murphy motioned to amend the total to be taken out of the [}ATF to $27,029.
The motion passed unanimously.
Rosemary Enright proposed to take the $82,496 of Byrne funding and sharing it evenly
between the remaining 5 organizations: $16,499.20toSannue|'a House, $16,499.20to Be
The Change/MYCP, $16,499.20to Heron Peacock, $16,499.20to{5CC; $16,499.20to Boys
and Girls Club. Steve Torrence made the motion and Commissioner Murphy seconded. All
others agreed except Jane Isherwood opposed, preferring that allocations be based on
program priority.
Steve Torrence then motions to permit staff to equally distribute any excess or reduction of
funds that might result from BDCC or F[}LE actions nftertoday's meeting. The motion
passes unanimously.
Steve Torrence commented that next year the applicants should read the Byrne JAG grant
information and understand what the funding is for, because the Sheriffs Office could ask
for the funding as vve||.
Commissioner Murphy wanted everyone to keep the three year rule in mind as well.
There being no further business, Rosemary Enright motions to adjourn meeting. Motion
passed.

characters. Be sure to address the following items:

including the specific types ofindividuals who contribute mand/or who are negatively affected bythe problem.
cNeeds assessment: Identify the current scope of the problem. Support this with factual information. Use both
hic area.
Uisnwell documented fact that children, their families and the entire community benefit dramatically from having easily
accessible quality after school programs, Data from @national study of after school programs by the Nellie Mae Foundation
indicates that children who spend three or more hours home alone during out of school time are significantly more likely h]
use drugs oralcohol, have high lev8lsof stress and anger, experience more depression and behavioral problem, possess a
lower self-esteem and perform poorly academically. The information from this study clearly points out the fact that achild's
participation in a quality after -school program not only benefits each child and the immediate family, but the entire
commun|iy.
According Nthe information Vnthe 201OFlorida Youth Substance Abuse Survey, 4O.5UY6CdMonroe C middle school
students betweenthe(�10 14 old have ialcohol UG 20 H '
This is compared to a state average of 35.90% for middle school students and 63.40% for high school students, Additional
data obtained from the 2010 Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey shows that in most cases the youth in Monroe County
have a higher risk factor, as well as a generally higher percentage, of underage drinking or experimentation with drugs than
their state wide counterparts, The same can be said about tobacco use. However, per capita there are fewer resources
available to engage these youth and redirect their behaviors in a rural county such as Monroe. In addition, Monroe County
has a very high rate of adult alcohol and substance abuse and this, coupled with the "party' atmosphere of the Keys, places
many youth in dangerous and life altering circumstances,
According tnAnnie E.Casey Foundation KID COUNT data the number ofchildren enrolled iOschools iOMonroe COun'County has
st
able,
children under 18where living inpoverty. That number jumped t18.75%in2O00/10.ondid the percentage Nall persons
living in In 200809'
The same pattern remains consistent for free and reduced lunches, In 2008 35.9% or 2,968 children enrolled in schools
were receiving free and reduced lunches and in 2009/10 3,935 or 48% were receiving free and reduced lunches. The total
school enrollment in 2008/09 was 8,278 children and in 2009/10 total enrollment was 8,281 students. So one can see that,
while the school enrollment in Monroe County has remained relatively stable, more and more children and their families are
struggling and are risk. Almost half of the total school enrollment in 2009/10 was receiving free and reduced lunches.
In Monroe County, a high percentage of families with children are single parent homes or families with annual incomes of
less than $22.0O0.Many are receiving subsidized childcare support and, due hzthe high CVstCd|iviOg8nUth8\ackof
affordable housing, most parents are forced tOwork two jobs, This results iO8tremendous number oflatch key children
being left with little or no adult supervision during the critical after school hours, school holidays, and vacations, While these
Young people seem particularly vulnerable, statistics and experience make itcrystal clear that all children are 8trisk inthe
after school hours ifleft unsupervised
Due to the extremely high cost of living in Monroe County, many adults are forced to work two or three jobs and are often
unable \Vmeet the needs Cdtheir families alone, This iSespecially true ofsingle parent homes. With the employment
demands of the adults, many children are often left alone or have older siblings watching them during the most critical times
oftheir days -after school Or0Dnon school days. |1iS8well documented fact that the most vulnerable time |O8child's day

the time from when the school day ends till the time that return home from work, This risk is magnified more when
the focus ofstudy isunchildren from homes of low family income 0single parents. Over 0percent of the children who
attend a Boys and Girls Club in Monroe County come from homes that are at or below the Monroe County Poverty Level
Index, [xreside inhomes where there is a history of substance abuse, domestic violence, or parental incarceration, VVdhoVd
the opportunities, guidance and supervision that w8offer tOthese children, they would have little opportunity tOengage in
positive activities, Last year our Clubs in Key West and Big Pine Key were open for a combined total of 250 days to address
these issues and to provide hope and opportunity. Our continued goal is to be able tnexpand the number ofdays that wo
are open in order to offer increased positive opportunities for the youth of Monroe County,
Too many children today grow up with 8few, it any, positive role models and little, Uany encouragement to resist alcohol,
tobacco, other drugs, delinquent acts orsexual activity, The norm and expectation for these young people, whether,
perceived or real, is that it is almost a "rite of passage" to participate in these destructive and often dangerous behaviors or
actions. Not only is this the perception of young people themselves, but often the perception of the adults mtheir lives
whose passive resignation encourages rather than discourages these behaviors. While young people are often taught skills
h3prepare them tOface educational challenges, at critical stages of psychological, emotional, and intellectual development,
they are often not taught the skills needed \Omake the successful transition from childhood tOadulthood and k}resist
engaging in delinquent behaviors, premature sexual activity, or experimenting with drugs and alcohol. The Boys and Girls
Club is committed to offering positive after school programs for youth in the community that address the issues of tobacco,

1. Problem Identification: Briefly describe a specific problem to be addressed with
characters. Be sure to address the following items:
a. Problem Description: What inthe problem towhich you are respondingaoVvelateokomepmgromomekn
which you are seeking funding (be sure to only include ONE program type)?
Due to the economic downturn the state and nation are experiencing prevention
programs are being eliminated at a rapid pace. Title D/, Safe and Drug Free
S[hOO|S, was zerO'd out completely in 20I0. In 2011, the Federal program US
Learn and Serve was cut. These programs were the primary programs
addressing the prevention and reduction of alcohol and other drugs use (ATOD)
and violence and bullying. The replacement ofthe programs, Safe and Healthy
COrnrnVniti2S/ are only being awarded to large communities like Miami -Dade or
8r0xYard. Yet, it is well established that Monroe County faces many of the S8nOe
risk factors that would be found in those communities.
According the Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey 2O1D(2O12results are not
yet available). Monroe County youth consistently reported a higher ATOD use
than elsewhere in Florida.
55.896 OfMonroe youth ages 10-18 reported using 8\C0hO|, vVhU8 51.5% is the
state average.
29.696 of youth ages 10-18 reported using Marijuana, while the state average
is 2].896.
47.196 of Monroe County High School aged youth, 15-18, reported using illicit
drugs at least once, an increase of 6.5% of the state average.
Monroe County youth also report higher occurrences of violence and bullying
than the state average.
45.8% of Monroe County Middle SChOO| aged youth, 10-14, reported being
teased or taunted. The state average is 36.1 almost 8 1096 difference.
26.596 middle SCho0\ youth reported being kicked or shoved, an 8.496
increase than the state average.
It is not fiscally sound to further reduce prevention efforts in our county. In
section Cthere iS information showing that how Vveas8community have
AT0Duse inthe past 1Oyears since the decision t0utilize Byrne trust money tn
further this effort. This reduction of these risky behaviors will correlate to
fewer adult addictions, and costly rehabilitation and incarceration~
b� Problem is this problem significant to the applicant? Identify who isaffected hythe problem
including the specific types of individuals who contribute to andlor who are negatively affected by the problem,
The philosophy that MY[P utilized when developing programming is that all teens are at risk.
Every youth in the COuOLy iSencouraged tO participate inthe program. Certain ages 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"

Atthis age they are also atagreater risk ofbeing bullied. The goal 0fy4[YPwith our
O]nRrMunitv partners, is to change what youth see aS"n0rrna|")n our schools and
neighborhoods. When they feel it is normal tO"Be The Change" risky behaviors are no longer
thought Vfasnormal.
According to the SAMSMA proven effective cU[hCu\unl, Project Alert, more than 9096 of the
nation's youth believe that 7896 of the teens in their school smoke rn8['U8na. Yet the
number is far less. We need to change their perception.
Monroe County youth often show a lower occurrence 0fprotective factors Orassets when
compared to both the state and national average. These high risks combined with \Dvv
protective assets put our youth |ndanger. There are many risk factors that may influence
the youth of Monroe increasing the impulse tO self -medicate with substances, engage or
endure hW||y|Og and violence, have |0VY SChOO| attendance, drop out nfschool, exhibit criminal
behavior and an Vve[d\| lack of productivity, experience depression, and even COrnrn|t suicide.
[qYCP delivers unduplicated empowering programs to Monroe County youth. The programs,
whether they are for the pre-school age group or high school, all encompass the Search
Institutes Developmental AsSetS9.The emphasis |Son closing the achievement gap, drug,
alcohol, tobacco and Crinle-prevention, and safety education. [qYCP|S determined to provide
environments for the youth to thrive academically and socially. Our county wide year round
Sen/|Ces include educational, preventative, n2Cre8t|OO8|, cultural, informational, referral,
training and Other services.
c, Needs assessment: Identify the current scope of the problem. Support this with factual information. Use both
qualitative and quantitative descriptive data that related toyour specific problem and geographic area.
The Monroe County Substance Abuse Task Force continues to make prevention a priority.
Funding MYCP has been a strong contributor to 8 real SO|ut\0n to the above problems. AS a

Clearly our unique county cannot rely only on parents, schools or churches to keep our
youth safe. The community must take on active role in this task.
MYCP|s a grassroots, community -based organization that serves as a catalyst to keep the
COnnnluOity invested and |nV0\vBd in d8V2|0p|ng p[Ote[1|Ve in our youth. Since the
inception VfMYCP 2001 we have Seen an increase Community based P[O-SD[!a|

area in which this is true). In FY5AS 2010, 6596 of high SChoO| youth reported community
rewards for pro -social behavior compared to 6396 nationally.
AS the acute needs of the CqOnnlun)ty beCOrn8 more epidemic, it is a C0rnnlOn reaction to
curtail all prevention programs and programs that build self-esteem, leadership and provide
support and avenue Ofcommunication for youth and the adults that care for them, This is
exactly opposite 0fwhat (sneeded during these financially challenging times.
Low family socioeconomic status -48.196Ofthe Monroe County student- population
qualifies for free or reduced lunches. This number has been On a Steady rise since 2005.
Family income and education C0Ot|nV8S to be the best predictor of success in postsecondary
education and in the job market. At the time of this grant we have the School District's
poverty rate as defined by the Federal Government is 14.8996 well above the poverty rate
of the Country. AS Of May 17, 2012, there are 354 students registered as HOnne|eSS in Our
[Runty. This is an overwhelming 91 more homeless youth than this time last year. There
has not been this large of an increase since 2005 directly after Hurricane VV|!nna.
Astudent in poverty is more likely to engage in risky behaviors. This level of poverty has
an impact on the SchOO\ COrnrOun|ty at large and causes atremendous strain of the SOc|a\
and educational services |nthe community. Inthis economically challenging time (tis
extremely important that we as a COnlDluO\ty continue to place |[DpOrfaOCe On protecting
our youth from risk.

3. Project Summary: Briefly describe how the proposed project will focus on the problem. Limit response to 7,000
characters. "This section should address: what will your project accomplish? Who will receive the services? Who will provide

MYCP 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.
MYCP 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
MYCP aims to address the root COUS8 of the nl8Oy prOb\8rOS our yOUUl 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 tOengage and empower young people byfostering healthy connections and
relationships with peers and adults. Young people need tOfeel valued and inspired more
than ever before so by engaging them as the leaders that we see them to be, MYCPsteer6
young people away from potentially h8[rnfu| outlets they may otherwise participate in if
they lacked a community and opportunity to step into their greatness and see the
greatness ofthe people around them.
MYCPtargeLg all Monroe County youth regardless of gender, age Or academic
performance. MYCPseeks at -risk students, including those who have dropped out, have
been arrested, failing school or those who exhibit 8 sense of being isolated. MYCP 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 y4Onn}e County. MY[P recognizes that the
best change agents 8rOOng youth are other youth; therefore, MYCPvVU\ COnt{nV8 its
comprehensive approach to providing effective youth programming.
1\ Parenting and educational classes teaching effective discipline, ATOD prevention,
healthy communication, and health literacy. It also provides effective papentnetworking. MYCP offers Community Playgroups.
-
MY[PCommunity Playgroups were created tOease financial and enl0t|0na\
burden of addressing the achievement gap between low |no]rne and Other
students. These disparaging effects could be reduced as larger segments of
the populations are serviced through playgroups designed to teach parents
how t0 raise their child's I[> 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 afVn way and give the parent increased
confidence on how to handle conflict and discipline and the knowledge of how
to provide needed services tOtheir babies.
MYCPprovides public playgroups in\VvV-|nCOrne,at-risk neighborhoods.
Monroe is atransient culture and these playgroups meet the needs Of

cornrn0n areas every week and are free, they attract mothers with children
from birth to sCh00\ age where they easily and quickly build trusting
relationships. Through these relationships, |DfDrm8bOn is transferred from
community -based initiatives to population groups who do not readily engage
with public agencies or utilize services.
Z) Middle School years are often the turning point for Vth Many studentsdrOp
out of sm.um s/m/vy after /x'm/ grade. A spike in discipline incidents occur |n
the 6th-9thgrade years. MYCPbelieves targeting this age group will provide
the youth support to avoid risky behavior.
Prevention and transition programs devised specifically by students for
students and target the |rnrnedi8tg needs of that population. Most programs
are designed by high SCh0O\ students who have benefited from MYCP'S
Leadership programs.
An example is our 8m Grade Transition Program which had been developed
to end sChOO\ rivalry and bullying for students from rn|dd|8 school as they
enter the high school. Youth created events entice students from all
socioeconomic ranges and provide information as to the real threats of
ernOt|Ona\ burdens throughout the SchOO| including,racism, violence, bullying
and harassment and promote the development of stronger
among students and their peers, family and community.
MYCP sign 8tVre-program 5 create 8|||anCeS for youth with the understanding
of the cOnnnl0n challenges they face. It also Creates a safe space for youth to
interact in a meaningful way with SVpp0[t)Ve adults. MYCPactively searches
for students on campus suffering from alienation, who do not feel connected
to the school and work tOdevelop their sense Vfpurpose and empowerment.
Strengthening students' emotional health, redirecting negative factors and
empowering the individuals to overcome obstacles lead to 8 reduction in risky
behavior.
3\ High School programs are the primary focus OfMYCPsdaily
example is the mentoring programs. High School youth are trained to provide
effective mentorship which includes tutoring, character development and asset
building. They weekly visit their "little" and it has a profound impact on not
only the elementary aged youth but also on the mentor. The mentor is
expected to keep up their grades, have no serious discipline issues, and keep a
minimal amount of absences to serve as a mentor. Some of our youth will be
serving as youth mentors who had been mentored by MYCP youth four years
ago, Our elementary students are achieving on standardized tests, have
improved attendance and reduced behavior issues. It increases engagement in
the educational experience for all involved.
Other programming 8|SOsChBdV|edtOb8OfferedtOyOVthth|Syear|sCha|\enge

Significance to the Community - MYCP 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 MYCP, During the FDLE audits it has been communicated that they
view the grassroots/community approach of MYCP 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 - MYCP'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 MYCP 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.

each region of the county which is why so much work can be
accomplished with so little contracted Staff. The part-time coordinators
are spread throughout the county, upper, middle and lower. Together
with the volunteers the activities that are provided are in high demand

characters. Be sure to address the following items:
a, Problem Description: What is the problem to which you are responding as it relates to the program area for which
you are seeking funding (be sure to only include ONE program type)?
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,
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.
1. Froll)[em l[dentitication:
The 16'h Judicial Circuit Drug Court Laboratory Program is a comprehensive urinalysis facility
n
providing drug -testing services to hundreds of adults, youth, and families throughout Monroe County.
Over the past five years, demand for the high -quality urinalysis/drug testing services of the Drug Court
Program Laboratory has risen considerably. Originally designed to serve the Monroe County Drug
Courts, the Drug Court Lab's certified drug testing service is now called upon by many other law
enforcement agencies throughout the County. In an effort to promote public safety, The Drug Court
Lab struggles to meet this increased demand and maximize tremendous resources, while
al
experiencing a funding reduction. This grant will continue to enhance the capacity of the Drug Court
Laboratory, by allowing Lis to continue the new Laboratory Manager position. With the addition of
this key staff person, the Lab will continue to be able to respond to the increased demand for
urinalysis/drug testing services from law enforcement entities throughout the Florida Keys. (Lab
Manager is an employee of Monroe County and will work 100% on this project. Fifty percent of the
salary and benefits will be paid through this grant. The other fifty percent will be paid by the Monroe
County Drug Court.)
4:1
a. Problem Description:
I'he demand for the drug testing Of Substance abusing offenders in Monroe County had far
exceeded the previous Drug Court Laboratory's capacity. In 1990 the urinalysis component began
under the Pretrial Services Program for criminal defendant's arrested for substance related charges,
released to the community, pending disposition of their cases.
The need for urinalysis services Multiplied with the insurgence of Adult Diversion Drug Court
in 1993, Juvenile Drug Court in 1996, and Family Treatment Dependency Drug Court in 2000. The
C�
2008 lab numbers had significantly increased. In the 2009, we added three new contracts with
community agencies and installed a new analyzer, which has allowed the lab to double its capacity and
Z:�
maintain a cost that is significantly below other commercial rates in and out of Monroe County. With
the advent Of Our new machine and the volume service increase, the Laboratory Manager Continues to
oversee the lab and its expansion. In the past two years we have updated the Wintox MIS program to
increase lab productivity, and developed a more stringent Policy and Procedures manual compliant
with Department of Transportat ion regulations in an effort to increase Our service consumption levels.
However, without this current grant funding, the Lab lacks sufficient staff needed to maximize
the Lab's valuable resources. Staffing is critical in the Lab, as proper drug -testing procedures require

certified staff (Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Associated Certified Professional /Collections
Trainers), Staff must ensure compliance with strict chain of custody requirements, and that all testing
procedures accord with national standards for the Drug Courts, and commonly recognized guidelines
such as those established by the American Probation and Parole Association, and the Department of
Transportation.
b. Problem Significance:
Drug testing promotes public safety by alerting the referral agent of drug use and increased risk
of criminal activity. It also allows for immediate intervention by such agencies at the point of relapse.
Abstinence from alcohol or other drug use is critical if a client is to benefit frorn participation in
employment or in a treatment program. Testing urine for the presence of alcohol or other drugs serves
to monitor and confirm client drug use or abstinence. The consumption of illegal substances is itself an
illegal action and people who consume illegal Substances commit more crimes than those who do not.
Prompt and accurate test results promote open and honest communication among all parties. Testing
actively involves program participants in the treatment process rather than reducing them to the role of
passive recipient of services. Positive test results compel clients to accept responsibility for their
actions and reduce their tendency to deny their drug use. Frequent alcohol and other drug testing are
essential. An accurate testing program is the most objective and efficient way to establish a framework
for accountability and to gauge each participant's progress. Modern technology offers highly reliable
testing to determine if an individual has recently used specific drugs. Further, it iscommonly
recognized that alcohol use frequently contributes to relapse among individuals whose primary drug of
choice is not alcohol.
The Wl' Judicial Circuit Drug Court Laboratory Program is a comprehensive urinalysis facility,
providing drug testing services to adults, children and families in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Keys
of Monroe County. The Lower Keys testing facility is located at 502 Whitehead Street, Key West,
Florida. operating Mondays 8:30am to 11:30ain and 2:00pin to 5:00pm, Wednesdays 8:30am to
11:30am, Thursdays 2:00prn to 5:00Pin, and Fridays 8:30am to 11:30am. The Middle Keys facility is
located at the Marathon Court House Annex, 3117 Overseas Hwy, mile marker 48.5. Marathon,
Florida, operating Mondays 5:30pin to 7:30pm, and Thursdays from 2:30pm to 4:00pin, 'rhe Upper
Keys facility is located at the Plantation Key Drug Court Office, 88800 Overseas Highway Ellis
Building, 2`1 floor, Tavernier, Florida, operating Mondays 2,00pm to 4:00pru, and Thursdays 5:45pm
to 6:45prn. The program is staffed with gender specific collection observers during operational hours.
As a result of 2008 budget cuts, the Key West part-time (5FTE) tech position was cut, and Drug Court
Employees were supervising the specimen submissions in Key West. The counselors were spending
valuable, limited time supervising urine submissions, which could otherwise be spent treating clients.
The funding of this new managerial position has reduced the need for Key West Drug Court
Counselors to supervise urine drops, and allow them to focus on treating the clients.
In an effort to promote public safety, provide the Court and other programs with pertinent
information relating to a client's drug urinalysis services use, the Drug Court Laboratory is providing 1*-� I
for, the Courts per Judicial request, Adult Diversion Drug Court, Family Treatment Dependency Drug
Court, Juvenile Drug Court, The Department Of Juvenile Justice, IDDS(Intensive Delivery of
Diversion Services), A Positive Step, for adjudicated delinquents, The Department of Children and

parents of abused and neglected children), The Florida Keys Children Shelter, Teen Court, The Care
Center for Mental Health, The Guidance Clinic of the Middle Keys, Office of State Attorney, and
Pretrial Services.
c. Needs Assessment:
Numerous indicators tell LIS that substance abuse is significant and on the rise in Monroe
County, The need for certified, accurate drug -tests has continued to increase. Each year the number of
referrals to the Drug Court Lab rises significantly, as does the number of agencies and service
providers requesting the Lab's services. The Lab performs upwards of 2,000 tests per month. The
Drug Court Lab reports that they have experienced a 48% increase in the number of clients/referrals
and a 62% increase in the number of tests from 2005 to 2008. There were 610 new participants served
in 2009, the first year of this grant, 1093 participants served in the 2010, in the second year, and 985
participants served of far in the first and second quarter in 2011. The 2011 year was not funded by this
grant but was partially funded by the Drug Abuse Trust Fund. This growth requires additional staff
Support as provided by the Lab Manager position.
3. Project Summary: Briefly describe how the proposed project will focus on the problem. Limit response to 7,006-
characters. This section should address: what will your project accomplish? Who will receive the services? Who will
provide the services? What other agencies will participate? If your project includes significant equipment purchases,

The Lab Manager oversees and ensures the Drug 'Testing Chain Of Custody Procedures which
consists of the following steps: Certified Urinalysis Program Technicians provide clients with specific
information relevant to the basic rules and regulations of specimen collection, handling of samples,
analysis, testing and result reporting. This information is reviewed with clients to make certain they
understand it. Clients are informed about how drug test results are used, who receives the test result
information, and the consequences of either a positive test result or a refusal to test. The client is
inforined that a refusal to test may be considered a missed drop, which may be a violation of their
program participation. This information will be reported to the Referral Agent.
"The Lab Manager ensures that drug testing is a valid and reliable a procedure as possible.
Contributing to this validity and reliability are the following: Urine specimen collection is directly
observed. Clients are required to produce a sample observed by the collector. 'Temperature and
ineasurement of creatinine levels are verified to determine the extent of water loading. Urine analysis
reports are completed and reported to the designated authority within 48 hours of testing. When a
client tests positive, refuses testing, submits the sample of another person, or alters a sample, it Is
communicated to the Referral Agent immediately.

There is a clear and undisputed relationship between homelessness and Substance abuse.
Addiction very often precipitates, causes, and sustains homelessness; particularly, chronic
homelessness.
Vie relationship of alcohol and drug use to homelessness is reciprocal, in that it is very
difficult for individuals with limited financial resources to remain in housing when mL'ich
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 needs for shelter and food are only
precariously met. Substance abuse very often precipitates offender recidivism, causing and
Sustaining homelessness, particularly chronic homelessness. 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.
Fhere is evidence indicating the u I 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, life skills training and relapse prevention education. In addition,
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 (a.3) 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,
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement awarded Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance to the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition Substance Abuse Education and Relapse
Prevention Program in 2011 in the amount of 55,000. October I, 2011 through March 31,
2012. the FKOC admitted eighty-one (8 1) homeless individuals with criminal background
histories; 29% entered the program via the Offender Release Program and court referral, 99'N
were repeat offenders. FKOC administered more than 6,000 drug urine tests at a cost
exceeding S 7.500.

One -hundred percent (lWIo) of Byrne program recipients received individualized case
management and additional services to include life skills classes; life enrichment programs:
health education/screenings; support with crisis intervention , advocacy and links to
community and mainstream resources. While a large percentage of Byrne recipients remain
enrolled in the program, I t% acquired gainful employment and transferred to permanent
housing,
All clients sen"ed with Bvi-nelJAG Funds will haiv a documented histoi-V with the criminal
J,Ysticc systcm and 85ri, o;, more will be repeat ofknders.
b. Last year, 70% of homeless adults (174 clients) admitted to FKOC'sTransitional Housing
['rogranis had a criminal history, 80% were dealing with alcohol/or other substance abuse
iSSUeS-, 24°/Owere "chronically homeless", meaning that they were "an unaccompanied
homeless individual with a disabling condition who has either been continuously homeless for
a year or more, or has had at least four episodes of homelessness in the past three years."
Clearly alcohol and substance abuse is a significant problem and important factors that
influence 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 believes
alcohol and substance abuse prevention and education are essential components to helping
individuals recover from their addictions and homelessness. For most, residential and
economic stability and self-sufficiency cannot be achieved without sobriety.
The homeless population in Monroe County is the highe
st per capita in the State of Florida.
A point -in -time survey conducted county -wide in Monroe in January 2011 indicated that 1,287
individuals were homeless in the Keys on a given day.
Of the 249 adult clients admitted to FKOC Transitional Housing in 2011, 200 individuals
(80"'o) were in early recovery from alcohol and/or substance abuse.
82°'u of total clients completed the Transitional Housing program clean and sober and
exited to permanent housing.

Transitional Housing with Supportive Services
The Florida Keys Outreach Coalition understands that homelessness is not just the result of a 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.

supportive services that go far beyond merely offering food, hygiene and shelter; concentrating in
particular on the special needs of homeless adults recovering from alcohol and substance abuse.

structured treatment in a controlled environment provides the best opportunity for intervention to be
effective and re-entry successful. Currently, there are no local, licensed substance abuse residential
treatment programs for the women of Monroe County.
Many of the offenders with substance use disorders are also parents; thereby the parental substance
use and the criminal conduct affect their children and overburden our already taxed child welfare
system. The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) reports that over 8.7 million children
under the age of 18 (12.2%) lived with at least one parent who was dependent on or abused alcohol
or an illicit drug during the past year. Male and female offenders often experience mental illness and
substance abuse disorders, have child -rearing, parenting and custodial difficulties, health problems,
histories of violence, sexual abuse and corresponding trauma (Veysey, 1998). From a local
perspective, Healthy Start has indicated that 75% of the children in foster care in Monroe County have
been exposed to substance abuse in the family.
Currently, a female offender must leave the community and go to Miami/Dade or Broward County to
access residential treatment to address the needs associated with a serious substance use disorder.
The Female Jail In -House Program (JIP) at the County Jail is the only substance abuse treatment
program in the Keys that provides comprehensive treatment services in a controlled environment.

describe the equipment to be purchased.
In 1997, The Jail Incarceration Program (JIP), as it was initially named, was developed in the Monroe
County Detention Center and began providing substance abuse treatment services hothe inmates
housed there, Today, most clients are court ordered bythe Drug Court, Circuit Court and County
Court Judges in Monroe County. The rest are volunteers who meet 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. DCFaudits for the past three years reported that this program meets nrexceeds Best
Practice standards with 100Y6 compliance. This year's funding will allow services begun with last
year's grant tocontinue for this population inthe detention center.
In May 2010, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitative Facilities (CARF) evaluated the JIP
program for accreditation, The process ofaccreditation has strengthened assessment and treatment.
The Jail In -House Program met all CARFstandards 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 wil I submit the Intent to Survey in December of this
year inpreparation for roaooraditationin2O13.
Client -centered individualized treatment plans are acornerstone nfgender-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, i|Utoracy, as well as Spanish speaking
inmates, This allows access for all who might otherwise not receive services. (The current counselor
isbi-UnQua|and can serve the Hispanic popu|adnn.)
For co-occurring clients, m Mental Health Status Assessment identifies impairments in functioning. If
identified as having a possible mental health ioaue, the client receives areferral bmamental 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 is a minimum of six months, with the possibility of lasting one year. Aftercare services are
encouraged as a part of re-entry planning and last up to six months. The Guidance/Care Center
provides aftercare throughout the Florida Keys in community -based facilities. Aftercare is given
priority but will not befunded bythe Byrne Grant funds,
The program staff as well as the corrections staff conduct random drug testing (urine analysis)
randomly and positive tests result |n3Odays inlock-up and areturn tncourt for �'udicia|review ofthe
case. Tests used are the Rediteot1Dpanel dip sticks testing for amphetamine, benzodiazepines,

also has a relationship with the |Ocg| drug court to run tests on their machine if test results are

I . Problem Identification: Briefly describe a specific problem to be addressed with funds. Do not exceed 7,000
characters. Be sure to address the following items: I
a problem Description: What is the problem to which you are responding hrelates wthe program area for
which you are seeking funding (be sure monly include ONE program type)?
b, Problem Significance: Why is this problem significant mthe applicant? Identify who ioaffected bythe problem
including the specific types u(individuals who contribute voandin who are negatively affected bythe problem,
o, Needs assessment: Identify the current scope of the problem, Support this with factual information. Use both
qualitative and quantitative descriptive data that related tuyour specific problem and geographic area.
The problem that we hope to help solve is that locally and nationally, are jails/prisons containing a significant
number non-violent mentally Ill men and women.
Since the early 1980's when the course of psychiatric hospital deinstitutionalization changed due to revised
funding po|icies, many people with mental iUnoen have been discharged without adequate houuing,
community support, help from friends and hannUies, and treatment. Serious outcomes have been the
escalation of homelessness and increasing incarceration of people who are mentally ill, The jails, prisons, and
streets have now become the alternatives hutherapeutic programs.
Locally, Tommy Taylor, Commanderof Monroe County Division of Corrections reports that currentlyabout 18%
of the persons in the Monroe County Detention Center have some type ufmental illness. Monroe County
Sheriff Bob Peryam has stated that the Monroe County Correctional Facility that "_we're|ookingatnadumnQ
the population of folks with mental health issues, drug or alcohol issues, or homeless issues. Many ofthese
people donot need huboinjai|.^ Data compiled bythe Guidance Care Center ofthe Keys indicates that; (1)the
majority of people with mental illness are low-level, non-violent offenders who are exhibiting in public symptoms
ofuntreated mental illness; and, the Monroe County Detention Center reports that 80+% of those arrested have
substance abuse problems: Incarceration of a mentally ill person is considerably more expensive than it is
for the average offender, since during incarceration; these offenders need ongoing mental health treatment
and greater supervision. Intensive supervision ianeeded toprevent suicide attempts while ina||.ensure

Nationally, a 2010 report published by the Treatment and Advocacy Center and the National Sheriffs
Association entitled ^N1ove W1enby||y ||| Persons are in Jails and Prisons than Hospitals: A Survey of the
States", The report indicates that, "For everyone mentally ill person in a hospital in the U.S., there are more
than three inphnono"The report itself was a joint effort of the Treatment Advocacy Center and the National
Sheriffs Aanociation, and also asserts that 1696 of those in prison have a serious mental illness. This
compares toa1983finding when the percentage was O.4%. Tucompound this, the 2O1ONational Survey
on Drug Use and Health, Mental Health Findings published by the U.S Department of Health and Human
Services reported that |n2010.the use ofillicit drugs inthe past yearwaamore |(ke'�among adults aged 1O

Heron -Peacock Supported Living is a local non-profit organization providing stable, affordable supportive
housing, which the nationally recognized "Housing First" initiative suggests dhathouoingiaMh\enx'om' importantsarxioeinonjertVmakeonanoverysucoeamfu|. |thas been shown that once people have housing they are

incarcerated in another county. She requested to return to Peacock and said that she `wanted to con~home'vheraahecou|doa-atarthernaoovery. In addition, the supportive services we address mental health

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 sometime received counseling for a mental health or substance abuse problem, Inaddition,
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 andincarceration that
must beaddressed, Data provided bythe Southernmost Homeless Aooiatenc� League (SHAL) from the 2011
Point -in -Time study performed in January indicated that there were 1,635 homeless people in Monroe County that time, of which 436 (26.76) people surveyed who indicated

provide housing with supportive programs in Monroe County. 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 Florida Keys for people with a history
of mental illness. We are the only organization providing housing with support services to adults who are
persistently and chronically mentally ill. As such, we provide a unique and essential service. 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 fourteen 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.

3. Project Summary: Briefly describe how the proposed project will focus on the problem. Limit response
to 7,000 characters. This section should address: what will your project accomplish? Who will receive the services? Who
will provide the services? What other agencies will participate? If your project includes significant equipment purchases,
describe the equipment to be purchased.
The proposed project, Supported Housing to Prevent Recidivism or the Diversion of Adults with Mental
Illness and 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
Sheriff's 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; including a Care Coordinator; and, Full/Part Time Mental Health
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.

including the specific types of individuals who contribute to and/or who are negatively affected by the problem.
Overall Problem Significance: . Costs for every program at SH have risen at a rate that could not have been
anticipated or met. At the same time, funding for all programs has significantly diminished or is restricted by the
grantor, For example, in 2007, SH initiated the Women In Transition (WIT) program to provide drug treatment
and mental health services to women with co-occurring disorders. The federally funded grant program was
project -specific, paid only for treatment, and did not account for necessary expenses such as basic needs. In
addition, there continue to be issues with other, usually reliable, funding sources. The 2012 awards from the
Florida Department of Children and Families for Emergency Shelter costs and the Monroe County Human
Services Advisory Board were reduced, placing an extra burden on SH to provide adequate services for its
clients, The funding gap is reduced slightly by private donations and fundraisers, but it is impossible to keep up
with rising costs, which have doubled and tripled. The 2013 awards from these organizations have not yet been
announced, but awards are not anticipated to increase and could in fact, decrease again,
Homeless women -in -crisis, accompanied by their children from birth-1 8 years of age, arrive at SH daily
seeking a place of safety, shelter and services. The majority are drug -addicted and/or have co-occurring
disorders. A significant number are just released from incarceration, have criminal records, and/or have been
court -mandated to serve -out their sentences at SH. in 2011, 114 out of 156 unduplicated clients had substance
abuse and/or co-occurring disorders, Fifteen clients were in jail prior to SH and 12 were in a Substance Abuse
or Detox Center prior to SH. It Is for these women that Samuel's House is seeking BYRNE funds.
The Problem Sign ificanceUNoedia3-prongad:
I . Lack of funding for Court-MandatedlCriminal andlor Substance Abuse CIfents (Client Fees): Approximately
5-years ago, SH began receiving women who were directed either verbally, or by written order, from Monroe
County judges to stay at SH for up to 90-days instead of being sentenced to the Monroe County Detention
Center, In 2011, 20 women were sent to SH in lieu of jail. As of May 14, 2012,.there have already been 6
court -mandated women residina at the shelter. Other women are sent to SH from family and drug courts so
that reunification with their children can be accomplished under supervision. Most women are sent to SH
because of their substance abuse and co-occurring issues and because SH has vast experience working
with them. They benefit from case management and essential services such as substance abuse
workshops and employment assistance from a job developer and transportation, It is anticipated that, with
BYRNE grant funds, Samuel's House will be able to serve 10 women who are court -mandated, who
have criminal backgrounds anclior have Substance Abuse.
All women who come to SH are responsible for paying client fees. These fees are $15 per day or $100 per
week. Women who are court -mandated to SHhave nojobs and noway topavtheir fees until ,hevoa|n

employment. Due to their criminal records, it is difficult to find work and fees go unpaid for at least one -
month. Sometimes fees remain unpaid for the duration of their stay. Although the courts require women to
�e at Samuel's House, the agency is not compensated by the iudicial system. Utilizing $4,000 in BYRNE
funds for initial client fees will allow women time to find jobs and the ability to pay their own fees.
Lack o/funding for Case Management Case Management is the foundation for all client success at SH, It
goes far beyond providing shelter and food. The Case Manager (CM) is on -site to: design and implement all
act}vnias/pmgmmm(ng.perform client intake and assessment, administer drug/alcohol tests, refer clients to
services, monitor client progress, resolve conflict, and assist clients with development ofindividualized case
management plans, The CM assists women in acquiring necessary documentation, locating childcare and
mental/ physical health care, While these women are a8SH.hfalls ^othe CM tomonitor the court -mandated
women and \oreport tojudges and probation officers nntheir behalf, These duties require special skills and
place alarge, additional burden onthe CM, Nofunds are available &ocover these additional costs and
it is expected that $/2,V00 inDYRNEfunds will be applied to the Case Manager's Salary,
1 Lack of funding for Testing Supplies: There is a proven prevalence of, and increase in, substance abuse
among SH clients, Agency statistics in 2011 indicated that the majority of the general population of
homeless women living at SH is dealing with substance abuse. And, the vast majority of court -mandated
women assisted by SH in 2011 reported having drug and alcohol addictions.
Each client admitted to SH program is screened for substance use before admittance into the shelter,
Compliance with random drug testing iomandatory for continued participation in the program, The cost d
one drug strip test io$15.ODthat includes testing for 7'ovhstonoes. Atotal of788drug test strips were

tests for women who are Covrt'Mondatmd.who have criminal backgrounds and/or who suffer from substance
abuse, With $4,000 charged to the BYRNE grant, 267 drug strip tests will be administered.
Those Negatively Affected: Those negatively affected by the described problems include the increasing
number of women who come to Samuel's House through the legal process — from jail or even court -
mandated. Because of their criminal backgrounds and drug/alcohol addictions many of the women coming
for shelter are not only homeless but also, unemployed, ill and have either committed crimes or had crimes
committed against them. Not only is receiving Case Management and staying drug and alcohol free
necessary for remaining sheltered at SH, these are critical steps toward a better future for a woman and her
family, SH has proven that random drug testing is an effective tool for encouraging a woman to remain
sober and drug -free while participating in Case Management.
r. Needs assessment: Identify the current scope cdthe problem. Support this with tactual information. Use both
qualitative and quantitative descriptive data that related onyour specific problem and geographic area.
Current Scope otthe Problem: Current data reflects that 98% ofSHclients entering the various 8Hprograms
experience addiction. The greatest indicator for the scope ofthe problem is that 114women identified
with substance abuse issues and co-occurring disorders stayed at Samuel's House in 2011. (Among
those were 20 women court -mandated by verbal or signed judicial order to Samuel's House.)
Agency Data inSupport ofthe Problem: The data reported 6ythe independent evaluator cfthe WIT program
supports the need for continued services such as Case Management and drug -testing for all women of Samuel's
House. "The WIT program reached far beyond its targeted number of clients anticipated during the program. |t
was expected that 55women would beserved byWIT inayear, However data indicates that 217women
participated inthe WIT program, placing it at more than 4-timaothe anticipated enrollment goal. As result of

1. Problem Identification: Briefly describe especific problem 1obeaddressed with funds. Do not exceed 7,000
characters. Be sure to address the following items:
e, problenDescription: What is the problem vowhich you are responding asitrelates mthe program area for
which YOU are seeking funding (be sure to only include ONE ?
b- Problem Significance: Why is this problem significant to the applicant? Identify who isaffected bythe pmblem
including the specific types of individuals who contribute to and/or who are negatively affected by the problem.
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,
Acquiring help to integrate back into the community is a major problem facing homeless individuals discharged
from the Monroe County Detention Center. Turning to alcohol and drugs is a quick way to forget the challenges
of re -integrating into the community. It is not easy, having been disconnected from one's support system. The
Mobile Outreach team is two caseworkers in an RV who are available to help people access the resources
available in order to stabilize their lives during their /e-entry.This Prevention and Education program will reduce
the number nyhomeless individuals re -incarcerated.
It is a Housing and Urban Development mandate to local homeless coalitions to address this issue. HUD funding
allocated to Monroe County, which exceeds more than half a million dollars each year, isbased onMonroe
County having a plan to ensure that people are not discharged from local institutions into homelessness, This
Program can decrease the number of people who are discharged into homelessness, thereby increasing Monroe
County's HUD rating and therein increasing our likelihood of receiving HUD funds.
The MobUe Outreach Project began in November 2011 to reach out to people who are at risk of homelessness in
Monroe &»unry, who are not accessing the resources available, The project was initiated in Key West but is
planning to expand to serve all of the Keys, if funding permits. There are approximately 1,000 people in the Keys
who are homeless, While about 387 are housed in shelters, there are many still not accessing services. Our point -
in -time surveys indicate that there are 127 people who are homeless in the Middle Keys, 121 in the Upper Keys,
and 29linthe Lower Keys.
The Mobile Outreach currently visits Stock Island and Big Pine once a week. The Mobile Outreach works with the
Lower Keys Medical Center and the Monroe County Detention Center to help people being discharged to access
housing and other community resources. They have assisted people toaccess housing, obtain birth certificates
and identification, access medical care and become reunited with family. in 6 months of operation, 285
unduplicated people have been served (226 men and 59 women). 41 veterans have been served. 2Ipeople have
been reunited with their families outside ofthe county,
A goal of the Mobile Outreach is to reduce the number of people returning to jail. From January 2003 and April
2012, there were 132 homeless individuals who were booked 10 or more times in the Monroe County Detention
[enter. See Attachment A.Through afocused effort toassist the repeat offenders, the project will reduce this
number.
The MOP staff works with Jim Painter, Information Management, and Chief Tommy Taylor from the Detention

Center,Theyprovide amonthly report to the MOP staff indicating the homeless people who are being discharged
each month. See attached sample. The MOP staff follows up with these individuals, providing guidance and
support to help the clients remain lawful, healthy and housed. On numerous occasions, the MOP staff has
arranged to get individuals into substance abuse facilities on the mainland as well as provided transportation to
unite tkemwith family and medical support systems outside ofthe county.
The Detention Center also provides other data, See Attachment B. This data enables MOP to assess the impactof
their work, The report titled Monroe County Sheriff's Office Jail Current and Historical Bookings for 2O12 is the
resource for this data, This enables MOP staff to track current bookings. It is a more accurate way to look at real
time activity. During April, 20I2' 12 homeless persons were booked and 2were repeaters. In April, 2011^ 12 were
booked and 8were repeaters. Our goal is to reduce the number o[homeless individuals who are re -incarcerated.

3. Briefly describe how Fhe p�olziosea project will focus on the problem. Limit response to 7,000
characters. This section should address: what will your project accomplish? Who will receive the services? Who will provide
the services? What other agencies will participate? If your project includes significant equipment purchases, describe the
equ�pment to be purchased.
This project will reduce the number ofhomeless individuals discharged from the jail that are e-inoarcenated. It
will also reduce the numberofhmme}ess individuals being incarcerated. Byhelping people access resources
available, itwill reduce the need for crime, MOP case workers befriend the clients, helping themestablish goals
for themselves and then he|pingthem move towards those goals.
