JUNE 15, 2018 ACTION REQUESTED: INFORMATION

FY 2019 PROGRAM BUDGET AMENDMENT: File Number 2346800 SPECIALIZED HOUSING SERVICES FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS EVALUATION

Introduction

North County Lifeline (NCL) has been awarded competitive grant funding from the U.S. Department of Justice Office for Victims of Crime to support Project LIFE (Living in Freedom from Exploitation), an effort to provide specialized housing services to victims of human trafficking. The grant award includes $18,000 over a three-year period for SANDAG to provide technical assistance related to performance measure activities for this project. This information is being shared as an information item because the total grant funding received by SANDAG is under the threshold that would require Policy Committee approval.

Discussion

Through this grant, NCL will provide 150 traditionally underserved clients with emergency or short-term housing through the expanded options made available through this project. Additionally, awareness training will be provided to San Diego County service providers, community members, and stakeholders to increase their ability to identify human trafficking victims and engage them in services.

SANDAG Role

SANDAG will review and offer input into the project’s evaluation design and tracking systems for collecting and analyzing performance monitoring data, meet bi-annually to review the data and data collection processes, attend quarterly collaborative meetings as needed, and summarize monitoring outcomes at the completion of the project. Data that will be compiled will include the number and characteristics of clients; types of services provided; number and types of trainings conducted; and client outcomes pertaining to safety, well-being, and self-sufficiency.

SANDAG has partnered with NCL on other evaluations previously, including youth diversion, gang interventions, and another service provision efforts for human trafficking victims. This continued partnership will provide useful information to local stakeholders regarding human trafficking — a priority public safety issue.

JUNE 15, 2018 ACTION REQUESTED: APPROVE

PROPOSED FY 2019 PROGRAM BUDGET AMENDMENT: File Number 2352400 REDUCING RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISPARITIES EVALUATION

Introduction

In 2017, as part of its commitment to implement evidence-based practices, the San Diego County Probation Department (Probation) embarked on a comprehensive examination and substantial restructuring of the local juvenile justice system. As part of this process, Probation sought to better understand which youth were entering their system, with particular attention to Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities (RRED). Based on SANDAG’s current evaluation efforts of Probation’s Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act programs and prior research on Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC, prior name for RRED), SANDAG was asked in May 2018 by Probation to conduct a similar study to assess and inform Probation’s RRED efforts.

Discussion

San Diego County’s DMC (now RRED) Committee is charged with identifying and monitoring RRED in the local juvenile justice system. As a member of this Committee since 2003, SANDAG conducted an in-depth study in 20081 that identified where, why, and with whom disproportionality in the juvenile justice system existed. This research included several policy recommendations, including the use of the Relative Rate Index, to regularly monitor RRED at key decision points (i.e., Probation referral, detainment in juvenile hall, petitions filed and sustained, and institutional commitments). A decade has passed since the initial study and stakeholders feel the issue could benefit from additional examination. SANDAG was approached to conduct another in-depth study to understand the factors contributing to possible differences in how youth of different backgrounds may flow through the system.

1 A copy of this evaluation report is available online at:

sandag.org/uploads/publicationid/publicationid_1423_9305.pdf

Recommendation

The Public Safety Committee is asked to approve an amendment to the FY 2019 Program Budget, accepting $240,000 in funding over three years from the County of San Diego to conduct the Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities Evaluation.

http://www.sandag.org/uploads/publicationid/publicationid_1423_9305.pdf

2

Next Steps

SANDAG has the staffing capacity to complete this study and continue its ongoing work to inform juvenile justice issues with regional partners committed to reducing disparities that may exist. As part of this three-year study, stakeholder interviews would be conducted, archival data reviewed, predictors of different decision outcomes identified, and recommendations compiled annually. The results of these analyses would be shared with the RRED Committee and Public Safety Committee.

Emphasis in FY 2019 will be to support Probation's RRED efforts by conducting analysis to identify if disparities exist, and if so, what factors are contributing to it.

PREVIOUS ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The Applied Research Division of SANDAG is a trusted partner of Probation and conducted a similar study on Disproportionate Minority Contact in 2008.
