PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Crime Victim Assistance Center (CVAC) provides a comprehensive system-wide approach designed to provide services to victims and witnesses of all types of crime. Pursuant to PC Section 13835 and guidelines established by Cal OES, this program provides the 14 mandatory and 10 optional services delineated in the code. This program wil l make every attempt to meet th e needs of a ll crime victims, including those that reside in rural areas to minimize the effects of trauma of crime, to facilitate emotional recovery , and, when applicable, to assist the victim with state compensation . These services will be provided regardless of ag e or any physical impairment as well as to the non-English speaking populat ion of Fresno County. The goal of the program is to extend services to rural crime victims , immediate and extended housing , and accessible victim transportation . 8. PROBLEM STATEMENT A review of active Fresno County Crime Vi ctim Assista nce Center (CVAC) cases highlights the rural nature of victimization in this county. Victims are often forced out of their homes in r ural areas wi th no waiting safe shelter due to criminal victimization . Tran sportation including bus services is infrequent or non-existent to remove themselves and their children from the areas in which they reside . 9. OBJ ECTIVE S The prog ram will uti lize the experience of our highly-qualified staff, supplemented with volunteers, to provide crisis intervention and emergency services to crime victims, witnesses and their fami ly members. These services include , but are not limited to : court support assistance , educ ation and referrals, case status reports, Victim Impact Statement support, assistance wi th fi ling CalVAP applications for state compen s ation and an on-going publi c awareness campaign . Established working relationships through Operational Agreements with other servi c e providers and law enforcement agencies are of prime importance in attaining these objec tives. Project Summary-Cal OES 2-15 0 (Rev ised 7/2015) 10. ACTIVITIES Th e Crime Victim Assistance Center (CVAC) will partner with the Fresno County Superior Court and community agencies to provide victims of violent cri m e services to sites in remote location throughout the county through videoconferencing. CVAC will develop a housing voucher network throughout the county that allows for victims to be accommodated for up to 90 days . In addition, CVAC will establish a contract with an after-hour's crisis service provider in the community that will allow victims, law enforcement and medical treatment facilities to call for assistance for emergency transportation and housing . 11. EVALUATION (if applicable) 12. NUMBER OF CLIENTS In accordance with Cal OES program guidelines, performance measures have (if applicable) been included within the Goals, Objectives, a nd Performance Outcomes to measure baseline data and effectiveness of services . 13.

The county is the tenth most populous in California and home to the fifth largest city in the state where many of its half million residents live in urban blight in the City of Fresno. Another approximately 490, 000 residents populate the widespread municipalities and towns in the county. The county's sprawling 6 ,017 square miles with 1.88 million farm acres fuel an agricultural-based economy to the east and west of the City of Fresno . Residents of Shaver Lake to the mountainous east, an approximate one hour drive to the City of Fresno and residents to the west of Fresno , an approximate one hour or longer to drive to the city center of government ( 70 miles), face hardships in transportation and housing and access to needed services following criminal victimization . These are immediate and unmet health and safety gaps in the county's victim 's services network. Despite being the richest farm region in the world, Central California including Fresno and its outlying areas has been described as the New Appalachia and a Rural Ghetto due to its poverty and social problems . More than one quarter (26 percent) of Fresno County's 964 ,040 residents currently live below the federal poverty level, which is double the state poverty rate . An underlying factor is the dismal job market. The countywide unemployment rate is chronically double-digit, standing at 11 percent in January 2015 compared to the state and national averages of 6 .7 and 5.4 percent, respectively . In fact, eight of the county's 30 incorporated and disadvantaged unincorporated communities reached or exceeded 20 percent unemployment, one reaching 31 percent. Fresno County lags behind most of the nation in economic recovery . At $45,563 , the county's median household income is 15 percent below the national average. Given the agrarian nature of employment in the county , low wages and unemployment also strain the Project N arrative -Cal OES 2-108 (Revi sed 7/2015) Subrecipient: County of Fresno Subaward #: area 's public and private sectors in responding to it. A low tax base and sub-par consumer spending have forced deep cuts in county social service programs for more than a decade. This is compounded by a severe lack of external resources and creates huge service deficits in the county 's 15 outlying municipalities and in the small and impoverished unincorporated distant towns. Victims are often forced out of their homes in rural areas with no waiting safe shelter due to criminal victimization . Transportation including bus service is infrequent or non-existent to remove themselves and their children from the areas in which they reside. Those who need medical attention are transported to medical treatment centers by law enforcement but not beyond . For senior victims , housing and transportation needs are more acute and less available than may be for younger victims. Despite equal or greater need , Fresno County has historically received significantly less per-capita federal funding than other large counties in California resulting in fewer mental and physical health programs for its citizens , fewer shelters and an inadequate transportation system throughout the county. As a culturally diverse county, nearly one-half of its residents are Hispanic or Latino. It has the second highest Hmong community in the United States and the largest in California . It is home to 112 ethnic groups and according to the American Community Survey and 43 % of Fresno County residents speaks a language other than English at home . The demand for agricultural workers in the area has brought immigrants from Mexico and Central America for over a century leaving Spanish as a primary language . Rural agricultural communities with high ratios of farm laborers are found in the East and West quadrants of the county . All of Fresno County's dismal conditions contribute to high rates of interpersonal and domestic violence in these areas. Of California 's 1 O largest counties , Fresno has the highest rate (11 .0 percent) per 1,000 residents of DV calls for assistance --6 ,167 in 2013. This rate is significantly higher than counties of larger populations found in the state with highest rates of DV calls found in the Cities of Sanger, 12 miles to the east, Parlier, 14 miles to the east and Orange Cove , 20 miles to the east of Fresno. Unfortunate ly these cities are least equipped with Proje ct Narrative -Cal O ES 2-108 (Rev ised 7/2015) 2 Subrecipient: County of Fresno Subaward #: housing transportation and supportive local assistance after victimization . There are no emergency services excepting law enforcement, ambulance and fire . This data do not include the large number of victims who never call the police . A survey of local victims indicates that 70 percent are scared to call law enforcement because it will make the batterer angry and 57 percent are afraid to get the batterer in trouble because that person supports the family . This is acutely true for elder abuse victims whose abusers may be their caretakers. Unfortunately, domestic violence affects the whole family and this is especially true in the isolated areas of the county. A review of active Fresno County Crime Victim Assistance Center (CVAC) cases highlights the rural nature of victimization in this county : while 67 % of active victim cases (3333) are found in the City of Fresno, 7% (354) generate from the City of Clovis, 13 miles to the east ; 3 % (137) from the City of Selma, 14 miles to the south : the City of Reedley (119), 14 miles to the east; the City of Sanger (116), 12 miles; and in the City of Parlier (80), approximately 17 miles from Fresno. It is noted that approximately 48 cases that are currently under case management at Victim Services reside in the City of Coalinga which is approximately 70 miles west of Fresno and another 46 cases in Firebaugh, 43 miles to the west of the city . These are cases with great need due to the lack of services in the impoverished rural areas and the only way to contact many of the rural victims is by car. At present the Fresno County Crime Victim Assistance Center (CVAC) sees a representation in demographics that tends to mirror county populations: 50 % Hispanic, 17 % White , 10% Black, Asian , 2% and 16 % other or unknown . The highest crime types seen at the Victim Center continue to be interpersonal violent crimes : domestic violence , 42 %, child sexual abuse , 15 %, survivors of homicide victims , 13 %, assault , 12 % and robbery , 6 %. The Fresno County Victims Services Steering Committee has addressed the serious gaps in victims of crime service delivery identified in the county. They have placed a priority for funding the creation and support of services to crime victims in the rural communities of Fresno County Project Narrative -Cal OES 2-108 (Revised 7/2015) 3 Subrecipient: County of Fresno Subaward #: through more efficient and effective services including immediate and extended housing and transportation and , an expansion of services in the county for those least prepared and most impoverished . With approximately 33 % of Fresno County victimization occurring in the distant and rural areas of the county, the focus will have an immediate impact in terms of providing more efficient , effective and valuable services and be an important step in minimizing harm for all crime victims. Lastly a significant issue is the ability for the CVAC to gather and process data and information relating to its victims and services . The decades old information/technology system does not allow for participation without problems in many state initiatives and day to day record keeping . The Center cannot participate with the Superior Courts' dashboard project through Bit- Wise for real time service openings in the county and private sector for immediate referral including treatment, counseling and housing . Project Narrative -C al O ES 2-108 (Revi sed 7/201 5) 4 Subrec ipient: County of Fresno Subaward #: PLAN -With Signatures Gap Number 1: Services to Rural Crime Victims The Steering Committee has prioritized expanding services to rural residents. Some areas of Fresno County are located an hour from the City of Fresno where the majority of social services and justice programs are located . The Crime Victim Assistance Center (CVAC) will partner with the Fresno County Superior Court and community agencies to provide victims of vio lent crime services to sites in remote locations throughout the county through videoconferencing . This will include a collaborative planning process in which the court has given access to two remote locations for teleconferencing to victim advocate staff at two community agencies : the Rape Counseling Center and the Mennonite Central Committee , where the court has already established teleconferencing for civil litigants . This will allow vi ctims in remote areas of the county to call the CVAC or an after hour service provider (to be developed), to set appointments for te leconferencing and to be able to fill out the State of California Victim Compensati on Program (Ca lVCP) applications (a location more ac cessible to the victim ). Staff at the remote agen cy locations will assist vi cti ms in accessing the videoconference with CVAC staff. The CalVCP application in PDF format can be completed jointly and will in clude an electronic signature pad . In addition, other needs can also be directly addressed . The program will pursue 24 hours crisis response through an established service provider. Th is method of providing service and assistance will also require two video conferencing centers . One center will be at the Crime Victim Assistance Center downtown and the development of a minimum of two off site locations in the east and west parts of Fres no C ou nty -a total of four offsite remotes and two at the Crime Victim Assistance Center. CVAC will also partner with the Fresno County Superior Court in relation to streaming video from the two dedicated felony domestic violence courts to CVAC . Victims , especially in domestic violence hearings, are fearful of attending court proceeding s to obta in information Project Narrative -Cal OES 2-108 (Revised 7/2015) 5 Subrecipient: County of Fresno Subaward #: regarding case status , restraining orders, criminal justice process and disposition . Establishin g teleconferencing between the court and CVAC provides victims a safe and secure location to observe Court proceedings. Fresno County Superior Court Presiding Judge Kimberly A. Gaab, as well as the two Judges from the dedicated Domestic Violence Courts , have endorsed this process . It is anticipated that these systems could be expanded to include victims giving their Victim Impact Statements. Since security is of paramount importance and because the partners want to launch remote videoconferencing that will be effective and sustainable , a period of planning and implementation is needed to allow enough t ime to identify and address all aspects of operations . These include: delineating roles and responsibilities collaborat ively with the remote host sites , developing safety and operation plans , executing memoranda of understanding , configuring the spaces at the sites and in the Crime Victim Assistance Center, purchasing and installing the videoconferencing equipment, testing the process , planning and conducting outreach , and launching remote video services . Gap Number 2 : Immediate and Extended Housing Many rural areas in the County of Fresno are extremely impoverished . As such, housing is at a premium and housing insecurity abounds . The reality is housing is often temporary and unsafe . Many victims lose their homes and often times everyth ing , following a crime . The Criminal Justice System may be an e xtended process with victims requiring immediate emergency housing assistance . This requirement is unmet at this time because most agencies do not have the resources to cover more than a one night stay in a motel, shelters have limited bed -space and availability , and some areas do not even have motels or shelters . CVAC will develop a housing voucher network throughout the county that allows for victims to be accommodated for up to 90 days , while permanent plans can be developed and implemented . The Crime Victim Assistance Center will , through a collaborative effort with individual law enforcement agencies and service providers , determine which facilities offer the Project Na rrative -Cal OES 2-108 (Re vi sed 7/2015) 6 Subrec ipient: County of Fresno Subaward #: safety and security necessary to accommodate the needs of crime victims who are without shelter or in need of relocat ion. The parameters for those who will qualify for assistance will focus on specific criteria. A Housing Committee will be established delineating the financial process , roles and responsib ilities , memoranda of understanding , and outreach . The housing component will work with the provisions identified in the third gap of th is project , transportation . In addition , CVAC will establish a contract with an after hour crisis service provider in the community that will allow victims, law enforcement and medical treatment facilities to call for assistance for emergency transportation and housing. Once contracted , this w ill be a focus of training and outreach to the affected agencies . CVAC has been in contact with the local Housing Authority to establish a comprehensive system of service . CVAV will provide case management. In addition t o the two victim advocates who w ill provide service and case management, it will be a priority to develop volunteer services to assist the identified population . With the Fresno State University Criminology Program , wh ich includes a certificate in Victimology, it is felt that the practical skills these students would need could be learned at the center. In addition there is strong interest at the Clovis City College and Fresno City College level to participate in volunteerism with crime victims. Gap Number 3 : Accessible V ictim Transportation Given the size of Fresno County, transportation to the center of Fresno by rural residents has always been problematic. While great strides are being made technologically to assist crime victims at their city of residence , the nature and time of victimization in terms of getting to needed services , court dates and medical appointments is challenging , even for those w ith automobiles . Law enforcement del ivers victims to medical centers following injury but does not offer the ride home. Social service agencies with limited time and unlimited clients can only accommodate a very lim ited population including child victims. The Fresno County Rural Project Narrative -C al OES 2-108 (Revi se d 7/2015) 7 Subrecipient: County of Fresno Subaward #: Transit Authority that serves a wide area of the rural county ends its routes at 5 :30 pm daily . The Fresno County Crime Victim Assistance Center under the funding auspices of Unserved/Underserved Victim Advocacy and Outreach Program (UA) from the State of California received a vehicle to assist in the rural areas but at the present time does not have the capability to provide assistance at night and on weekends . Transportation is a high priority in terms of safety and security for victims. Given present constraints , a system for transportation especially for crime victims in crisis must be developed. The Victim Assistance Steering Committee for this grant has recommended a transportation voucher system for extremely rural areas through contracts to the metropolitan areas with in the County. This approach would allow for more coverage than available through traditional government means and would provide the assistance immediately and in the places of greatest need . Out of operational necessity and in order to serve the programs needs more efficiently victim services will develop the needs of all the justice and social service partners , identify a hierarchy of need for each area and seek to find the most effective way to meet these transportation needs. The understanding is that with the appropriate outreach to medica l providers , law enforcement and public and private social services agencies , the network of transportation can be developed and launched , whether by means of a voucher or contract or both . A contractor will be hired by the Crime Victim Assistance Center to upgrade the database so that the victims of crime information will be current and available for use . An upgrade though the hiring of a contractor will allow for greater participation with community service providers , assist in data for grant applicatio ns and , provide up to date meaningful data to assist victims of crime with their multiple levels of service needs. At p resent, the IT system at CVAC does not provide staff with the appropriate and comprehensive information for state and federal documents required to complete statistical reports , which exacerbates the inherent difficulties in the acquisition and management of information o n victimization .

Subrecipien t: County of Fresno Subaward #: CAPABILITIES The James Rowland Crime Victim Assistance Center (CVAC), better known as Victim Services has bee n part of the Fresno Count y Probation Department since 1975. This project was the first program in California to provide services to vict ims of crimes through a Probation Department, wh ich was created by the Chief at that time , James Rowland . CVAC provides comprehensive services to victims of all types of crimes . Victims are identified by a continuous screening of reports from the various law enforcement agencies in the county and from information in the news media ; they are offered services through personal , telephone or letter contacts . Many victims are referred by other agencies includ ing law enforcement, the District Attorney's office, physicians , hospitals , family members and therapists. The program focuses on providing counseling referrals , information about the criminal justice system , court advocacy, support to victims , and assistance in obta ining reimbursement for qualifying losses through t he Californ ia Victims of Crime Program . Advocates provide crisis intervention , emergency assistance (fo r food , clothing , shelter and medical needs), follow-up counseling , notification services , crime prevention and train ing from law enforcement. Comprehensive follow-up is provided to v ictims when needed ; this may i nclude accompan iment to police interviews, Identification Bureau (photo sessions for evidence), line-ups , further counseling , court ass istance and support , and referrals to other community agencies. A full spectrum of services designed to reduce the victi m's trauma is provided , including crisis intervention and counseling ; emergency assistance, casework and referrals to ot her agencies; information about the criminal justice system and case processing , court assistance and accompaniment; intervention with employers , cred itors , family members , service providers , and agency personnel ; and assistance with funeral arrangements , child care , property orders , transportation and translation . CVAC will provide ongoing cu ltural competency tra ining on issues specifically affecting elder and immigrant popu lations . The Victim Advocates w ill be assigned two different roles . Project Na r rative -Cal O ES 2-108 (Revi se d 7 /2 015) 12 Subrecipient: County of Fresno Subaward #: The Victim Advocates will focus on case management that occurs during after hour calls in conjunction with the after hour emergency contracted agency . The Advocates will attend and participate in outreach and training with interagency partners, including law enforcement agencies , community medical facilities , Adult Protective Services. The victim advocates will serve as liaisons between the service providers selected through the RFP process. The service provider will submit an e lectronic Referra l for Service to CVAC and the assigned Advocate will follow up with the victim . Both advocates w ill serve victims who have utilized the identified services as outlined , document statistical information in CVAC case management system , and respond to referrals subm itted by the service provider. The Victim Advocate 's goal is to make contact with the victim within 24 hours or upon the next business day and offer continuing support as the victim requests . Upon initial contact, the victim is assessed to determine emotional and physical needs . At that time , referrals are made to help build trust and ensure the vict im's safety , whi le restoring dignity and self-esteem. In the event of e motional trauma , staff w ill provide crisis intervention services, and/or arrange for appropriate outside agencies to provide more intensive intervention . When necessary , referrals can be made for assistance with food , clothing , lodging , transportation , or other needs arising from the vi ctimization . A small emergency cash fund is maintained at the main office to assist victims with their immed iate needs . This emergency fund is maintained and controlled under the guidelines of the Fresno County Auditor-Controller's office. Applications for emergency and non -eme rgency financial assistance through the California Victim Compensation Program (Cal VCP) will be completed by the Victim Advocate ; and foll ow-up tracking of application status is provided upon request of the victim . Safety planning is addressed with each victim , and referrals are made to support the safety plan , including referral to Central California Legal Services for preparation of re stra ining orders, when appropriate. Follow-up contact with th e vict i m is made on all safety plans. Project N arra tiv e - Cal OES 2-108 (Revi sed 7/2015) 13 Subrecipient: County of Fresno Subaward #: Non-emergency referrals will be made according to the initial assessment and followed up by a Victim Advocate . This protocol will continue to develop as collaborative efforts result in improved strategies and procedures to ensure victim safety and efficiency with service providers . Advocates will participate in training crisis intervention related issues and will provide case management services to ensure victims are linked to appropriate service agencies and that identified barriers are diminished . Each advocate will have a laptop available and while out in the community will have access to various case management systems including access to the District Attorney STAR case management system , Adult Probation System and Juvenil e Automated System , and will have the ability to enter chronological notes while conducting fie ld contacts . This will allow for the advocate to operate in the remote areas in the County. There will be a collaborative effort by partnering agencies to ensure that the best practices are employed to address issues related to better serv ing victims in Fresno County.

In order to minimize admin istration costs and support d irect services to victims , the implementing agency (Probation Department) absorbs operating expenses , including , in part, communication , liability insurance , PeopleSoft financial charges , vehicle charges , and costs associated with building maintenance. The salaries of the Project Director and Financial Officer are not paid by funds from this grant; however, they provide direct services regarding the fiscal requirements of this grant. The Financial Officer reviews documents for financial matters required by the g rant, prepares the budget and any modifications , monitors compliance with regulations and procedures mandated by the funding source, and ensures the appropriate expenditure of grant funds. The Fresno Probation Department proposes three (3) FTE permanent Victim Advocates which are included in the proposed salaries and benefits . Salaries are projected at actual Range and Step and are subject to mid -year adjustments for position incumbents . The salaries and benefits of the Victim Advocates partially contribute to our required cash match. The Victim/Witness Advocate position will provide case management servi ces as well as the th irteen mandatory and all ten optional services outlined in Penal Code Section 13835 to the identified population of this grant. In addition , the advocates will provide training to law enforcement agencies within Fresno County regarding the avai lable services provided by th is grant and how to access these services . These services , wh ich are also provided to victim family members and witnesses of crimes , include advising participants of program services and outreach activities ; referring program participants to professio nal care providers; explaining the Budget Narrative -Cal OES 2-107 (R evised 7/2013) App licant: County of Fresno Grant Number: _________ _ process of the criminal justice system ; accompanying victims , family members, and witnesses to court and related hearings; and assisting participants with claim applications . Sixty semester units of academic work from one or more of the following disciplines : psychology , sociology , criminology or a related field is required for this position . All too often persons who suffer losses as a result of criminal activity also incur a financial loss and the necessary documentation is not available at the time of sentencing and the Court will order restitution To Be Determined . Following up with victims is rare in which offenders are placed on probation supervision . CVAC intends to address this issue in allocating a new position in which a Deputy Probation Officer IV (DPO IV) will assume the responsibility in conducting following up with identified victims . The DPO IV will rev iew the orders of the court , the offender's case file , serve as a liaison with the District Attorney's office , and commun icate with assigned probat ion officer and guide the v ictim through the court process regarding matters of restitution. This position will be specific to the XC Grant program . Volunteer services will also be ava ilable to assist the victim population . Many of the volunteers will come from Fresno State University and will mostly likely have a certificate in Victimology . In addition , volunteers may come from other higher education institutions. The Probation Department recruits volunteers through colleges , job fairs , commun ity presentations and service agencies . Volunteers are required to complete an application similar to an employment application and agree to submit to a background check . One hundred percent of staff time specified in this proposal for grant funding is committed to the goals and objectives of t his project. The proposed grant application will require contracts for transportation services; emergency housing (including emergency essentials such as food , hygiene items, etc.); remote Budg et Na rrative -Cal OES 2-1 07 (R evised 7/2013) 2 Applicant: Count y of Fresno Gran t Number : ---------- locations for teleconferencing and on-site victim assistance; and after hour call service s. The budgeted costs for each of services have been listed in the operating budget. The after hour call service contract will likely be with an exi sting community based organization and will req uire 10 % of the after hour call service hours be accomplished by volunteers . The contracts for the remote locations are for the use of the office space and personnel from the community based organization to assist the victim in completing necessary forms wh ile teleconferencing with a Victim Advocate at Crime Victim Assistance Center (CVAC). In add iti on , operating e xpenses include the necessary data processing equipment and services in order for victims in rural areas to teleconference to the CVAC in order to complete the State of California V icti m Compensation Program (CalVCP) application and set appointments at a location near where the v ict im res ides. It will also allow for victims to observe court proceedings at the CVAC and watch i n a safe and secure place . An information technology programmer is also included in th is applicatio n in order to upgrade the data management system so that victi ms of crime information is available and current and provides meaningful information to assist victims in order to address their multiple level of service needs . The programmer will be required to have strong experience working with a wide range of programming frameworks and language needed to create single page responsive web applications . The operations budget also includes a small amount of funding for office expenses for scanners, printers and postage.
