Analysis
This resolution approves the first amendment to a Victims of Crime (VOCA) grant from the Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration, Office of Criminal Justice Programs, to the Davidson County Juvenile Court, previously approved by Resolution No. RS2021-875. This grant is used to fund the Wrapping Around Families for Success Program. This program is a collaborative effort with Youth Advocate Programs, Inc. (YAP) that dedicates two Juvenile Court case managers to work with YAP to conduct assessments, determine program eligibility, and refer youth to YAP services.
This grant amendment increases the grant amount by $500,000, from $534,195 to $1,034,195. The local cash match will remain $133,549. The end date will be extended from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The amendment adds a provision to allow for the automatic extension of the term under the same terms and conditions in the current agreement, provided that in no event would the term exceed 60 months. Attachments A, A-1, and B will be updated to reflect these changes.
