A detailed description of the services or consideration can be found in the Section 5 Scope of Services or Consideration. This Agreement is governed by and incorporates by reference General Terms and Conditions (GTC 04/2017) and Contractor Certification Clause (CCC 04/2017) which can be found at the link below: https://www.dgs.ca.gov/0LS/Resources/Page-Content/Office-of-Legal-Services- resources-List-Folder/Standard-Contract-Language 1. BACKGROUND The legislation creating Secure Youth Treatment Facilities (SYTFs), Senate Bill 92, also gave courts the ability to commit youth to less restrictive programs to facilitate safe and successful reintegration of youth into the community. (Welf. & Inst. Code § 875(f)(1).) Less restrictive programs or placements (LRPs) can be halfway houses, camps or ranches, or community residential or nonresidential programs, including home-based or educational-based placements. Youth are placed in LRPs as part of their confinement time. (Welf. & Inst. Code § 875(f)(1).) OYCR recommends that because of the negative consequences of long-term incarceration, youth should be transitioned as swiftly as consistent with public safety to the less restrictive programs in a non-carceral setting that encompass employment, behavior health, and culturally relevant services. The process of transitioning may be a series of increasingly less restrictive programs. OYCR is providing grants to interested county probation departments to demonstrate approaches for LRP transitions. OYCR funds are expected to be used to support partnerships with community-based service providers that will help individual youth in the transition through less restrictive programs and settings, and to directly help the youth meet their own needs after transition to home or community living while still completing their commitment term. This grant funding is intended to support the development of LRPs pursuant to Welf. & Inst. Code § 875(f), which are ordered by the court. Movement to units with more privileges within an SYTF are not LRPs, but OYCR will consider funding transitions from SYTFs to LRPs through furloughs of increasing duration for youth currently in SYTFs with the intention of being part of future transitions to community based unlocked LRPs. OYCR will also consider funding LRP pathways via placement in ranch or camp settings if such placements are part of future transitions to community based unlocked LRPs. California Health and Human Services Agency Agreement# 2023-349-OYCR A-1 Office of Youth and Community Restoration County of Fresno, Probation Department Page 2 Less Restrictive Programs Grant Features of OYCR Grant-funded LRPs: • Intentionality — The potential pathways from SYTF to LRP will be identified, along with the resources available or needed. • Individuality— Secure and less secure programs and settings must be trauma informed, culturally and gender responsive, provide quality behavioral health programs, engage families often, and provide a behavioral management program that is tailored to a youth and consistently applied. • Preparation — Prior to transitions to LRPs, youth should be familiarized with expectations of the LRP and/or phases of the LRP. Also prior to the LRP transition, youth should be enrolled in all benefits with warm hand-offs to public service systems. As CalAIM Justice Initiative commences, the probation system should consider whether existing behavioral health services, 90-day in-reach services, and specialty mental health/SUD services in the community are sufficiently aligned to support consistency of care. Other preparatory steps might include banking, transit assistance, enrollment in health plans, and collation of documents needed for school/vocational matriculation, etc. • Accountability— While youth in LRPs will be supported by lived experience professionals and behavioral health professionals as needed, they will be overseen by probation and the court. • Age-appropriate —Youth under the age of 18 that can be placed in an LRP should be placed at home with robust, multi-disciplinary quality services that allow for continued accountability, oversight, lived experience mentoring and economic support if needed. In some circumstances placement with non-parent kin may be more appropriate, and robust family-finding should always be undertaken when youth enter the justice system. In limited circumstances, STRTP or THP-Plus may be considered an option. • Youth placed in LRPs will be provided income assistance as needed, including directed housing payments and monthly stipends payable to the youth, calculated based on local costs, youth age, etc. OYCR solicited California counties to apply for funding to demonstrate successful transition for youth from Secure Youth Treatment Facility (SYTF) placement to Less Restrictive Programs (LRP). Fresno County responded. Following discussions between OYCR and Fresno, this grant is provided to support the transitions of 10 youth from SYTF to LRP settings over a two-year period. The individual transitions to LRP status are subject to judicial approvals. Additional detail on the proposed transitions is provided in Attachment D. 2. TERM The term of this Agreement shall commence on December 15, 2023 (Effective Date) and continue through December 31, 2025 2027.

"Economic Sanctions" refers to sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law. The EO directs state agencies to terminate contracts with, and to refrain from entering any new contracts with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of Economic Sanctions. Accordingly, should the State determine Grantee is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this agreement. The State shall provide Grantee advance written notice of such termination, allowing Grantee at least 30 calendar days to provide a written response. Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the State.
