CDBG 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan Staff Bridgeford reviewed the timeline for the 2020-2024 CDBG Consolidated Plan and the 2020 Annual Action Plan. She also discussed the prioritization process for the goals for the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. She shared the information that she has received thru a needs assessment survey and other community reach. The city is a part of the King County HOME consortium and participates in HOME funds that focus on housing and homelessness. The city has its own CDBG funds and chooses their own goals for the city. The current goals are exactly what the National objectives are for CDBG. This is due in part because a new requirement in 2015 resulted in the creation of the 2015-2019 Consolidate Plan in a very short time period. The new goals will be more specific to the city. Staff Bridgeford stated that in looking at the city's CDBG usage, an ongoing discussion will be what kind of resources the City has available. The survey results will help form the priorities for CDBG. A special City Council meeting has been scheduled for July 2. COUNCIL DISCUSSION ON EMERGING ISSUES Chair Johnson stated that Staff Vadino announced at a recent City Council meeting that the city is going to be awarded $80,000 to be used for youth violence funding. There will be an RFP process later in the summer to contract it out. He invited staff from King County to discuss what they have been doing regarding zero youth detention; they have been talking with other cities to discuss what local municipalities can do around that county effort. King County Zero Youth Detention — Discussion Only Derrick Wheeler -Smith, Marcus Stubblefield and Claudia Pineda provided an overview of the King County Zero Youth Detention Program. The purpose of the program is to reduce the use of secure detention for youth and to eventually eliminate it. Some of the components of the program include improving community safety, helping young people excel and keep them from entering the juvenile legal system. The Road Map to Zero Youth Detention has five objectives. 1) Lead with racial equity, 2) Prevent youth from entering the juvenile legal system by focusing upstream and on systems to have the greatest impact, 3) Divert youth from further law enforcement, formal legal processes, and secure detention into community based options, 4) Support youth and families to reduce recurrence of legal system involvement and increase healthy outcomes, 5) Align and optimize connections between systems to increase effectiveness. The committee held a long discussion with staff from King County regarding the program. King County staff asked the committee to invite them back to a future meeting to discuss strategy level, and how the city can support this work. $80,000 Youth Violence Funding — Discussion Only Chair Johnson stated that he invited Jason Clark, from the Credible Messengers program to answer questions regarding the $80,000 that has been awarded to the city. Chair Johnson added that the intent of this funding is to find an organization or a person to research youth violence prevention in Federal Way. Mr. Clark spoke about the work he is doing in regards to justice reform and youth development strategies. When there was a spike in juvenile homicides in the summer of 2016, Mr. Clark was tasked PARKS, RECREATION, HUMAN SERVICES & PUBLIC SAFETY COUNCIL COMMITTEE Tuesday, June 11, 2019 Summary Page 3 through the Racial Equity and Action Planning team for the County to bring together a Government response that was community based and driven and this turned into the Federal Way Youth Action Team (FWYAT). The funding strategies that went into this initially was from the work that he had done on advocacy, building specific programming and bringing people together to implement a strategy that would be effective for all of the young people across Federal Way. This led to the development of Credible Messengers which is focused on leadership development, system partnership, community capacity building and public safety. Emer2ency Shelter Guidelines / Criteria — Discussion Only Deputy Mayor Honda reported that she has spoken with FUSION and the family shelter will not be opened until late spring of 2020; it was originally planned to open in January / February. Staff Bridgeford stated that Mary's Place which was approved by City Council is available and will be paid out of the General Fund and a Human Services grant. Deputy Mayor Honda would like to know how many Federal Way Families have been turned away from Mary's Place this year. Deputy Mayor Honda would like a plan in place to address the needs of homeless families so they know they have a place to go. Staff Bridgeford clarified the different types of shelters: Severe weather - extremely cold and below 32 degrees for an extended period of time, Cold weather, which is what Reach Out operates on is opened October thru March, then there is the regular emergency shelter which tends to be more of a drop-in facility. Most family shelters have an intake process, this process can be quick, but it's not necessarily a true emergency shelter. The FUSION shelter will be a year round shelter. A few of the churches will have a severe weather shelter; they will not operate like Reach Out. NEXT REGULAR MEETING July 9, 2019 ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 7:21p.m.
