6. Discussion and Background
The Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC), under the Corrections Planning and Grant Programs, awarded funds towards the North Orange County Public Safety Collaborative Program. The eligible allocation amount awarded to the City of Brea, as the designated Fiscal Agent, is approximately $8 million and is intended to support a collaborative effort to reduce violence through prevention, intervention, and suppression activities through the use of evidence-based practices in the following areas:
1. Programs to address youth violence prevention and intervention
2. Promote and enhance the successful reentry of offenders into the community
3. Address homeless outreach and intervention efforts
The Orange Police Department will be joining ten other North Orange County cities who are also receiving these funds. Those cities are as follows: Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park, Cypress, Fullerton, La Habra, La Palma, Placentia, Stanton, and Yorba Linda.
To satisfy the program requirements, the Orange Police Department will prioritize the use of funds to address homeless outreach and intervention efforts in the City of Orange. The funds will also be shared, in partnership with The Hub OC, to support the Youth Centers of Orange (YCO), a program dedicated to supporting youth and families in our city’s underserved communities. The funds allocated for this initiative will directly benefit YCO’s programs, such as the After School Program, Summer Camps, and Sports Programs.
