PART V ~ PROGRAM PLAN Is the applicant's delinquency prevention program plan a [] Yes component of a regional or tribal CSCC Plan? ~/ No If yes, explain how the proposed project fits into the CSCC Plan's priorities. If no, explain the relationship to the CSCC Plan and/or if the CSCC group is aware of the proposed project. The Region V Plan does not include delinquency in its plan. This Cass Country Delinquency Prevention Plan is developed as an interim plan and it is the intent of the Prevention Policy Board to seek the CSCC's support. It is important to note that the CSCC plan relies heavily on America's Promise-The Alliance for Youth. This strategy is focused on increasing essential resources young people need for building health, fulfilling and productive lives. America's Promise is somewhat similar to the Communities That Care model regarding protective factors. The essential resources are somewhat analogous to the protective factors. The five resources include: Mentor- Protect- Nurture Prepare Serve An ongoing relationship with a caring adult mentor, tutor, or coach Safe places and structured activities during non-school hours A healthy start A marketable skill through effective education An opportunity to give back through community service The CSCC developed five goals and objective for Region V 1) That all children are cared for and nurtured 2) That all children are safe physically and emotionally 3) That all children have a healthy start and a health future 4) That all children have an effective education 5) That all children contribute to the community through service and positive behaviors All of the delinquency prevention programs identified in the Cass County Delinquency Prevention Plan could fit into the Region V CSCC plan. The interim plan is seeking Title V funding for a single project that was initially funded by JAIBG as part of a larger project focused on at-risk youth. It is important to note that "diversion' was recognized by the CSCC as a major project and co-funded by the CSCC. Therefore, while the Cass County Delinquency Prevention Plan is not recognized at this time by the CSCC, they have recognized the project and co-funded the project, portions ofthe JAIBG "at-risk" project awarded to Youthworks have now been funded by the Juvenile Court or continued with JAIBG funding. The revised diversion program focusing on the unruly at-risk of placement is the only unfunded segment of the interim plan. A proposal to the CSCC for continuation of the diversion program with its focus on the unruly at-risk of placement has been submitted and awaits action. It would provide a portion of the funding required along with the Title V request. The Unruly Diversion Project is attached for consideration as a Title V project.
