These grants make use of funds

appropriated in the Fiscal Year (FY)

2001 Federal budget, and are the third

round of Young Offender Initiative:

Demonstration Grant Program projects.

Two prior rounds of such grants have

been awarded based on appropriations

in the FY 1998 and FY 2000 budgets.

This solicitation is one of two dealing

with the overall Young Offender

Initiative: Reentry Grant Program

(Initiative). It is for a smaller number of

experimental Young Offender Initiative:

Demonstration Grant Program projects

and published coincident with the

larger Young Offender Initiative:

Reentry Grant Program solicitation.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 110 / Thursday, June 7, 2001 / Notices 30755

Since 1998, at Congressional

direction, DOL and DOJ have funded

grants under the Youth Offender

Demonstration Project to provide

services focused on youth who are or

have been under criminal justice

supervision or involved in gangs or are

at risk of this involvement. Based upon

a recent interim report, Interim Report

for Youth Offender Demonstration

Project, Process Evaluation (Research

and Evaluation Associates, Inc., March

2001), that assessed the Youth Offender

demonstrations, there is solid evidence

of a need to further test methods of

effective delivery of services to the 14–

24 year old target group in additional

sites.

Therefore, DOL is proposing to fund

additional Young Offender Initiative:

Demonstration Grant Program projects

(using funds separate from those

dedicated to the 25 grants proposed in

the Initiative, OJP–1320) in a small

number of sites. Services will include

youth development services and they

will focus primarily on preparing young

offenders, gang members, and at-risk

youth ages 14 to 24 for positive

engagement in pro-social activity and

long-term employability and

employment. The purpose of these

additional DOL funds will be to further

test a structured set of activities for

subject target group, using a decisive

organizational design grounded on

research and PEPNet (Effective

Practices) criteria.

This demonstration provides a unique

opportunity for local areas to address

the needs of the young offenders and atrisk youth through an array of services

offered at One-Stop centers. Models

developed under this latest effort will

enhance public safety by assisting

communities to develop and sustain an

infrastructure to reintegrate offenders. In

addition, DOL, DOJ and DHHS will be

able to evaluate the projects, identify

effective practices, and disseminate

these practices to other communities.

This Notice describes the application

submission requirements, the process

that eligible entities must use to apply

for funds covered by this solicitation,

and how grantees will be selected. This

announcement consists of four parts:

• Part I provides background,

purpose, and goals of the Young

Offender Initiative: Reentry Grant

Program.

• Part II describes specific program,

administrative and reporting

requirements that will apply to all grant

awards.

• Part III describes the application

process.

• Part IV describes the review process

and rating criteria that will be used to

evaluate applications for funding.

Part I—Background and Purpose of the

Reentry Program

A. Background

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA)

of 1998 establishes comprehensive

reform of existing Federal job training

programs with amendments impacting

service delivery under the Wagner

Peyser Act, Adult Education and

Literacy Act, and the Rehabilitation Act.

WIA provides a framework for a

national one-stop delivery system

designed to meet both the needs of the

nation’s businesses and the needs of job

seekers who want to further their

careers. A number of other Federal

programs are also identified as required

partners under the One-Stop delivery

system with the intention of providing

comprehensive services for all

Americans to access the information

and resources available to them in the

development and implementation of

their career goals. The intent of the OneStop delivery system is to establish

programs and providers in co-located,

coordinated and integrated settings that

are coherent and accessible for

individuals and businesses alike in over

600 workforce investment areas which

have been established throughout the

nation.

WIA establishes State and Local

Boards focused on strategic planning,

policy development, and oversight of

the workforce system with significant

authority for the Governor and chief

elected officials to build on existing

reforms in order to implement

innovative and comprehensive OneStop delivery systems. In addition,

Youth Councils, subgroups of the Local

Boards, assist in developing parts of the

local plan relating to youth,

recommending providers of youth

services, and coordinating local youth

programs and initiatives. With its

requirements to form these

interdisciplinary Youth Councils and to

develop one comprehensive plan for

youth services, WIA presents a unique

opportunity to change the way

workforce development programs (and

other youth development programs as

well) are organized and operated to

serve youth. WIA and the Youth

Councils offer local areas the chance to

look at how both in-school and out-ofschool youth services are blended and

deployed. They provide the framework

that local areas can build on in order to

realign, enhance, and improve youth

services so that they are more closely

coordinated, better utilized, and more

effective.

In setting aside funds for this

Solicitation, Congress noted ‘‘the severe

problems facing out-of-school youth in

communities with high poverty and

unemployment and the inter-relatedness

of poverty, juvenile crime, child abuse

and neglect, school failure, and teen

pregnancy.’’ This Notice provides a

unique opportunity for selected

workforce investment areas to address

the needs of a special youth

population—young offenders, gang

members, and at-risk youth ages 14 to

24—through a comprehensive WIA

effort. In addition, the models

developed under this solicitation will

enhance public safety by assisting

communities to develop and sustain an

infrastructure to reintegrate offenders,

and will allow DOL, DOJ and DHHS to

evaluate the program, identify effective

practices, and disseminate these

practices to other communities.

For this target population,

unaddressed and untreated mental

health problems often contribute to

involvement in the juvenile justice

system. Research indicates that between

50% to 80% of youth detained in

juvenile facilities have mental health

problems and that more than half of

those with a psychological disorder also

have a co-occurring substance abuse

problem. Because untreated behavioral

health problems can be severely

debilitating, and because the prevalence

of such disorders is significantly

elevated for delinquent youth, it is

critical that mental health and substance

abuse services be incorporated into any

comprehensive strategy that is designed

to enhance youth functioning, decrease

recidivism, and promote enduring

workforce participation for this

population.

In the previous two rounds of the

youth offender grants (FYs 1998 and

2000), DOL in partnership with DOJ,

had funded four demonstration projects

under a separate model, the Education

and Training for Youth Offenders

Initiative. The grants under this model

include projects in Columbus, OH;

Indianapolis, IN; Tallahassee, FL; and a

fourth site funded under SGA/DFA 01–

101 to be announced by June 30, 2001.

The first of these projects are in

operation and provide comprehensive

school-to-work education and training

curricula for young offenders in juvenile

corrections facilities and aftercare/

reentry services upon the youths’ return

to their communities, with an emphasis

on job placement and retention. Both

DOL and DOJ are extremely interested

in lessons learned from these sites, and

30756 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 110 / Thursday, June 7, 2001 / Notices

will continue to evaluate the programs

and services offered under this model.

B. Purpose and Goals of the Overall

Young Offender Initiative: Reentry

Grant Program

The Demonstration Grant Program is

part of the larger Young Offender

Initiative: Reentry Grant Program

(Initiative) developed collaboratively by

DOL, DOJ and DHHS. The focus of the

Initiative is to assist communities in

planning and implementing

comprehensive ‘‘reentry’’ programs to

address the full range of challenges

involved in helping young offenders

released from incarceration make a

successful transition back to the

community. The goal of the Initiative is

to protect community safety through the

successful reintegration of offenders

returning to the community, by ensuring

that offenders:

• Become productive, responsible,

and law-abiding citizens;

• Are provided with positive

opportunities to engage in pro-social

activities;

• Maintain long-term employment;

• Sustain a stable residence; and

• Successfully address their

substance abuse issues and mental

health needs.

There are challenges in achieving this

goal. These challenges involve assessing

not only the needs of released offenders,

but also the needs of the communities

to which they return. Central to this

effort is helping communities prepare

for returning offenders by developing

the infrastructure to more effectively

integrate them—to ensure that

communities have the resources to

address offender accountability,

supervision, and other public safety

concerns, as well as offender long-term

employment, health, mental health,

substance abuse, and other critical

needs. Addressing offender supervision,

self-sufficiency, public health and

related issues promotes public safety.

Addressing the community’s wideranging needs requires creating broad

public/private partnerships to tap the

expertise and resources of key

stakeholders to contribute to the effort.

With this broad support, it is expected

that highly collaborative reentry

programs will be successful in meeting

the goals of this Initiative by providing

communities with the reentry

assessment and support systems that

both offenders and communities need to

protect public safety and the health and

overall well-being of its citizens. This

Initiative seeks to promote innovative

programs by providing applicants

latitude in structuring their

programmatic efforts.

Both the larger Reentry Grant Program

Initiative and the Young Offender

Initiative: Demonstration Grant Program

share several other goals as well, which

are to:

• Create innovative models of

collaboration among Governors’

designated representatives; Federal,

State, and local government agencies

responsible for criminal justice,

workforce development, mental health

and substance abuse; CBOs, faith-based

organizations, employers, offenders and

their families;

• Support localities in their efforts to

promote healthy youth development

activities that will assist at-risk youth

and young offenders to positively

contribute to the life of their

communities;

• Learn as much as possible about

what works in offender reentry and

programs through testing and evaluating

promising approaches; and

• Develop information on best

practices on young offender reentry and

to share this information with the

criminal justice, workforce

development, mental health and

substance abuse delivery systems.

These goals, when realized, will

provide beneficial results to DOL, DOJ,

and DHHS in their effort to refine and

learn from program experience with

offenders. These will be in addition to

the body of knowledge we already have

on this younger population. Like the

grants under the larger program, the

Young Offender Initiative:

Demonstration Grant Program is a

demonstration effort, however, the

target group is 14–24 years old. DOL has

already received interim results of its

first evaluation of the program and they

are reflected and incorporated into the

new solicitation that is part of the larger

collaborative effort.

As these reentry programs are

implemented, it will also be critical to

document what works, by evaluating

these efforts, identifying effective

practices, and disseminating them to

other communities.

This Young Offender Initiative:

Demonstration Grant Program’s

overarching goal is to protect

community safety through the

successful reintegration of offenders

returning to the community by ensuring

that these individuals are given the

supports that will better enable them to

be productive, responsible citizens who

are crime-free, maintain long-term

employment and a stable residence, and

are engaged in substance abuse and

mental health treatment as needed. The

Young Offender Initiative:

Demonstration Grant Program targets an

age-related subset of the larger

initiative’s target population and

expands the focus to include other atrisk or gang-involved youth but retains

the same goal of providing job training

and employment opportunities,

education, substance abuse treatment

and rehabilitation, mental health,

aftercare, housing and family support

services, and juvenile/criminal justice

supervision.

C. Authority

Sections 171 and 172 of the

Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Pub.

L. 105–220, 112 Stat. 936, as amended,

29 U.S.C. § 2801, et seq., authorizes use

of funds for demonstration projects.

DOL is authorized to award and

administer this program by the

Department of Labor Appropriations

Act, 2001, Pub. L. No. 106–554, 114

Stat. 2763A–3 (2000).

D. Funding Availability

The Department expects to award 6

grants approximately $1.5 million each

under category A (Large Areas) and 5

grants approximately $600,000 each

under category B (Small to MediumSized Areas) for a total of approximately

$11.5 million.

Part II—Requirements

A. Eligible Participants

Applicants are to target the youth

population ages 14–24 focusing

primarily on placing youth offenders,

gang members, and at-risk youth into

long term employment (part-time for

ages 14–15).

B. Administrative Requirements

1. General

Grantee organizations will be subject

to: these guidelines; the terms and

conditions of the grant and any

subsequent modifications; applicable

Federal laws (including provisions in

appropriations law); and any applicable

requirements listed below—

a. Workforce Investment Boards—20

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

Section 667.220, published in the

Federal Register, August 11, 2000 (65

Fed. Reg. 49294) (Administrative Costs).

b. Non-Profit Organizations—Office of

Management and Budget (OMB)

Circulars A–122 (Cost Principles) and

29 CFR Part 95 (Administrative

Requirements).

c. Educational Institutions—OMB

Circulars A–21 (Cost Principles) and 29

CFR Part 95 (Administrative

Requirements).

d. State and Local Governments—

OMB Circulars A–87 (Cost Principles)

and 29 CFR Part 97 (Administrative

Requirements).

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 110 / Thursday, June 7, 2001 / Notices 30757

e. All entities must comply with 29

CFR Parts 93 and 98, and, where

applicable, 29 CFR Parts 96 and 99.

Note: Except as specifically provided,

DOL/ETA acceptance of a proposal and an

award of federal funds to sponsor any

program(s) does not provide a waiver of any

grant requirement and/or procedures. For

example, the OMB circulars require an

entity’s procurement procedures must

require that all procurement transactions

must be conducted, as practical, to provide

open and free competition. If a proposal

identifies a specific entity to provide the

services, the DOL/ETA’s award does not

provide the justification or basis to solesource the procurement, i.e., avoid

competition.

2. Subgrants/Contracts

Subgrants and contracts must be

awarded in accordance with 29 CFR

95.40. In compliance with Executive

Orders 12876, 12900, 12928 and 13021,

the grantee(s) are strongly encouraged to

provide subgranting opportunities to

Historically Black Colleges and

Universities, Hispanic Serving

Institutions and Tribal Colleges and

Universities.

3. Incorporation of New Information

Grantees must utilize any newly

developed DOL/DOJ/SAMHSA research

findings (which may become available

after the grant awards) on how to run

effective programs. Applicants therefore

will be required to modify their

demonstration program during the postaward planning process based upon any

new information, as specified in the

terms and conditions of the grant award.

In order to assist with this effort, DOL,

DOJ, and DHHS will design early

technical assistance in the planning

process to aid the grantees with the

incorporation of program changes

predicated on the new information.

4. Evaluation

As a condition for award, all

applicants must agree to participate in

a separately-funded evaluation.

Applicants will not set aside funds for

evaluation activities. All applicants

must provide assurances in their

proposals that they will cooperate with

the evaluators and provide access to the

data necessary to the evaluations.

Awardees of the grants further agree to

make available upon request to DOLauthorized evaluation contractor(s) data

for a period not to exceed 24 months

beyond the demonstration period

(which should not exceed 24 months)

through a no-cost extension of the

grants. The availability of this data

beyond the demonstration period will

enable the contractor to perform followup analysis.

C. Reporting Requirements

Applicants must clearly define their

procedures for reporting progress on a

quarterly basis (including data elements

listed in Part II C.2 ) and for identifying

and presenting the results of project

interventions. Proposals should also

describe in detail the specific reports

and other deliverables to be provided to

ETA as documentation of progress and

results in terms of improved outcomes

for the target population. An

implementation plan to be submitted

within 60 days of the grant execution

and approved by DOL, DOJ, and DHHS

quarterly reports, an annual report, and

a final report summarizing progress are

required for projects under this SGA.

For financial reports, the grantee must

consult its appropriate administrative

regulations, 29 CFR Part 95 and 29 CFR

97.

1. Data Collection

All demonstration sites must collect

and maintain participant records and

compile administrative data from these

projects to document results and

accomplishments, and provide a

learning experience for the workforce

development system, DOL, DOJ and

DHHS. The data requirements must

include the following information in

two age ranges (14–17 and 18–24):

N. Number recruited;

O. Number enrolled;

P. Number who entered training;

Q. Number who entered or reentered

secondary school;

R. Number who entered or reentered

post-secondary school;

S. Number who entered employment

(total):

• Subsidized and

• Unsubsidized;

T. Number ‘‘served by aftercare’’

programs;

U. Number who entered the military;

V. Number who entered national and

community service;

W. Number referred to other services

such as dropout prevention, drug

rehabilitation, mental health and

substance abuse treatment services;

X. Number who entered other job

training programs;

Y. Number referred to apprenticeship

programs;

Z. Number of in-school youth served;

and

AA. Number of out-of-school youth

served.

As a measure of progress, grantees

also must collect data on factors which

predict future employment of youth

prior to youth’s employment full-time,

full-year. Therefore, applicants must

identify what factors consider to be

youth development indicators, e.g.,

dependability in participating in project

activities; remaining free of further

convictions; passing part or all of the

GED examinations; being able to keep a

part-time job; or making acceptable

progress (credits earned) toward a

diploma, etc. In addition, if applicable,

data elements associated with WIA may

be required (to be specified in the

grantee’s statement of work).

D. Acknowledgment of Federal Funding

In all circumstances, the following

must be displayed on printed materials:

Preparation of this material/item was

funded by the United States Department of

Labor under Grant Agreement No. [insert the

appropriate grant agreement number].

When issuing statements, press

releases, requests for proposals, bid

solicitations, and other documents

describing projects or programs funded

in whole or in part with Federal money,

all grantees receiving Federal funds

must clearly state:

a. The percentage of the total costs of

the program or project which will be

financed with Federal money;

b. The dollar amount of Federal funds

for the project or program; and

c. The percentage and dollar amount

of the total costs of the project or

program that will be financed by nongovernmental sources.

problem are eligible to receive grant

funds under this announcement.

All applicants in both categories are

required to designate a specific area or

30758 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 110 / Thursday, June 7, 2001 / Notices

neighborhood (i.e., Empowerment

Zones [EZs] and/or Economic

Communities [ECs], etc.) to receive

services under this demonstration.

Private entities not eligible for funds

under this Notice are for-profit

organizations, 501(c)(4) nonprofit

organizations, and individuals.

According to Section 18 of the Lobbying

Disclosure Act of 1995, an organization

described in Section 501 (c) (4) of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that

engages in lobbying activities will not

be eligible for the receipt of federal

funds constituting an award, grant, or

loan.

Eligible entities may include

community development corporations,

community action agencies,

community-based and faith-based

organizations, disability community

organizations, health care organizations,

children and family service agencies,

public and private colleges and

universities, and other qualified private

organizations. Organizations or areas

that operate the Department of Justice’s

Safe Futures or Comprehensive

Community-Wide Approach to Gang

Prevention, Intervention, and

Suppression demonstrations can also

apply through their Local Boards.

Applicants should provide

documentation from their local law

enforcement agency showing support

for the existence or emerging gang

problem and other serious youth crime

problems.

Entities other than a Local Board must

submit an application for competitive

grant funds in conjunction with the

Local Board(s) the area in which the

project is to operate. The term ‘‘in

conjunction with’’ must mean that the

application must include a signed

certification by both the applicant and

the appropriate Local Board (s)

indicating that:

1. The applicant has consulted with

the appropriate Local Board (and its

Youth Council) during the development

of the application; and

2. The activities proposed in the

application are consistent with, and will

be coordinated with, the One-Stop

delivery system efforts of the Local

Board(s).

If the applicant is unable to obtain the

certification, it will be required to

include information describing the

efforts which were undertaken to

consult with the Local Board and its

Youth Council and indicating that the

Local Board was provided, during the

proposal solicitation period, a sufficient

opportunity to cooperate in the

development of the project plan and to

review and comment on the application

before its submission to the Department

of Labor. ‘‘Sufficient opportunity for

Local Board review and comment’’ must

mean at least 30 calendar days. Failure

to provide information describing the

efforts which were undertaken to

consult with Local Board(s) will

disqualify applicants.

The certification, or evidence of

efforts to consult, must be with each

Local Board in the service area in which

the proposed project is to operate. These

certifications must be included in the

grant application, and will not count

against the established page limitations.

For the purposes of this portion of the

application, evidence of efforts to

consult with the Local Board must be

demonstrated by written

documentation, such as registered mail

receipt, that attempts were made to

share project applications with the

Local Board in a timely manner. Local

Board applicants and applicants that

provide a signed certification by the

applicant and the appropriate Local

Board(s) will be given preference for

award.

2. Youth Development Principles

Strength-based programming that is

designed to build upon a youth’s assets

and enhance functioning at the

individual, family, and community

levels will foster healthy development

and further advance the goals of youth

involvement in pro-social activity. DOL,

DOJ and DHHS expect models

developed under this solicitation to be

consistent with the youth development

principles that Gary Walker described in

the Sar Levitan Institute’s A Generation

of Challenge: Pathways to Success for

Urban Youth (1997):

• Each young person needs to feel

that at least one adult has a strong stake

in his labor market success.

• Programs must be connected to

employers; placement with one of these

employers is possible and initial

placement is one step in a continuing

long-term relationship with a program

that will advance the young person’s

employment and earnings.

• Each young person must feel at

each step the need to improve education

and credentials.

• Program support will be there for a

long time.

• Effective connections are

maintained between the programs and

providers of support services.

• The program emphasizes civic

involvement and service.

Age Issues: Also, critical to the new

model is the distinction between two

subpopulations within the solicitation

target group: younger youth (ages 14 to

17) and older youth (ages 18 to 24).

Younger youth require different sets of

treatment and skills programming than

those between the ages of 18 and 24, as

they may have less exposure to the

world of work and fewer of the

necessary work-related skills or may not

be able to enter into long-term, full-time

work until they are older. Services

intended for younger youth should,

therefore, focus on pre-employment

training, education, treatment and

appropriate employment in preparation

for long-term employment when they

reach an appropriate age. Interventions

for these youth that are the most

effective are those that can make a

positive impact upon both the youth

and his or her family. The provision of

strength-based family-centered therapy

and supports designed to enhance

family functioning and communication

will thus facilitate the broader process

of skill and competency development

for the youth. For youth re-entering the

community following institutional

placement, it is particularly vital to offer

therapeutic supports to aid the reunification process. Older youth (18 to

24 year-olds) should focus on attaining

their GEDs or diplomas, possibly

pursuing higher education or additional

vocational training, and obtaining

unsubsidized full-time employment.

The applicants must use the following

structure:

One-Stop Youth Services Demonstration

Model

Demonstration projects under this

model will operate in heavily

impoverished communities in need of

implementing comprehensive

community-wide approaches to assist

young offenders, gang members, and

those at risk of becoming involved in

gangs, all of whom may either be

currently in school or out-of-school.

These communities will have already

built service capacity into their OneStop delivery systems to expand the

range and quality of services designed to

prepare high-risk youth for high-quality

employment with career development

ladders and livable wages, but may not

have fully implemented these activities.

Grantees will be required to expand

services in each of 3 areas: (1) gang

prevention and suppression activities;

(2) alternative sentencing for offenders;

and (3) after-care and case management

for incarcerated youth. In addition,

grantees must provide education and

mental health services, employment

training, sports and recreation, youth

development services, and community

services projects in order to reduce

recidivism and procure for the target

population long-term employment at

livable wage levels. The grantees must

place particular emphasis on enhancing

existing case management, treatment,

youth development, family involvement

and support, and job placement services

for youth on probation or for those who

are reentering the community from

corrections facilities. These support

services should be provided throughout

the entire employment search

continuum, i.e., from the beginning of

the employment search until well after

the procurement of employment.

Projects need to include youth and

families in project planning and

activities. The projects also will

maintain records of the number of

contacts made after placement and the

type of support services provided.

The projects also will implement an

intensive and comprehensive aftercare

system to reduce juvenile recidivism.

Aftercare systems should be

implemented while youth are still

incarcerated to establish community

links with faith-based organizations,

parents or guardians, mental health and

substance abuse treatment systems,

schools, training and educational

opportunities, parole systems, social

contacts and activities, and mentors.

The aftercare services planned for those

individuals incarcerated must involve

the staff and administrators of the

juvenile corrections facilities where the

youth are institutionalized.

Structured Model Requirements: New

structured requirements for the model

which all applicants must use are based,

in part, on PEPNet effective practices

criteria and the Interim Report for Youth

Offender Demonstration Project, Process

Evaluation (March 2001) for the first

round of Young Offender Grants, which

may be found at the Employment and

Training Administration’s website,

http://www.doleta.gov. Applicants’

proposals are required to demonstrate

the following, which will be rated in the

rating criteria:

(1) Well Conceived Plan:

• Program has a clear and focused

vision and mission.

• Program goals and objectives are

realistic and measurable.

• Stakeholders, including community

partners, family member

representatives, and front-line staff, are

involved during program development

and implementation.

(2) Established Partnership with the

Juvenile Justice and Health Care

Systems:

30760 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 110 / Thursday, June 7, 2001 / Notices

• Grantee is experienced in working

with the Juvenile Justice and Health

Care Systems.

(3) Collecting and Maintaining Data:

• A system for collecting and

reporting program information is

available and utilized.

(4) Community Support/Network:

• Program is supported by youth and

family serving agencies including CBOs,

faith-based organizations, and public

service agencies.

• Projects need to include youth and

families in project planning and

activities.

(5) Grantee Involvement:

• Grantee is the lead agency, actively

providing direction and coordination for

the project.

• Grantee involvement and support is

continuous.

(6) Connections with Workforce

Development, Juvenile Justice and

Health Care Systems:

• Grantee coordinates with and

utilizes resources available through the

Workforce Development, Juvenile

Justice, and Health Care Systems.

(7) Leveraging Resources through

Collaboration and Partnerships:

• Project effectively identifies and

utilizes other resources and funding

streams to support project goals.

(8) Continuous Improvement:

• Project conducts self-assessment

and actively seeks and accepts available

technical assistance.

(9) Shared Leadership and

Information Sharing:

• Decision making and information is

shared with stakeholders.

3. Program Components

The grant awards must be used to

enhance and augment presently existing

strategies which serve young offenders,

out-of-school youth, and gang members

or those at-risk of becoming ganginvolved. Efforts should be made to

integrate youth into a full range of

educational, treatment, and alternative

programs when appropriate. In addition

to intensifying current systems, the

projects also will link with and build

upon available community resources

such as educational (including special

education), support, workforce

development (engaging Local Boards/

Youth Councils), health care, child care,

and transportation services. The projects

will use these community resources to

accomplish the successful transition of

youth to independent living within the

community, a reduction in recidivism,

and the accomplishment of

employment, training, and education

goals. In order to address specifically

the distinct needs and problems of

young offenders, gang members, and

those at-risk of becoming gang-involved

who are living in high-poverty

localities, the overarching strategy for

the model community projects should

encompass the following:

Purpose/Need: Applicants must

describe the need in the target

neighborhood as demonstrated by issues

such as severity of gang problems, the

number of young offenders residing in

the target community, gaps in

availability of adolescent mental health

and substance abuse treatment for atrisk youth, and the inability for existing

services to address the needs of young

offenders and gang members.

Applicants should also relate the need

to the overall purpose of the planned

program components.

Alternative sentencing/education:

Grantees must describe their plans for

expanding alternative sentencing,

including enhanced education services

for young offenders. Project case

managers and other staff must prepare

the target population for sustainable

high-quality employment by providing

assistance to remain in school, return to

school, enroll in GED and high school

equivalency classes, or participate in

additional alternative education such as

long-distance learning programs or online courses. Applicants must describe

the educational services that will be

offered by the project, with particular

attention given to the utilization of

existing educational system services and

the involvement of the schools in the

area. Youth with emotional and

behavioral disorders will benefit from

evidence-based, culturally competent

treatment interventions. Applicants

must describe the process for providing

assessment and treatment planning, as

well as the options for individual and

family therapy that will be made

available. In addition, applicants must

describe the overall use of project case

managers and other staff in the planned

program components that will provide

educational services.

Career preparation services: The OneStop Youth Services Demonstration

Model must provide for employment

preparation, youth development

services, job placement, and linkages

with the workforce development

system. The model must focus on

programs that train individuals for

employment in fields in which

technology skills are critical aspects of

the jobs emerging in the regional labor

market. The training model may also

include basic skills and preapprenticeship training as appropriate,

particularly for younger youth, e.g. ages

14–17. Applicants must address the

various strategies that their models will

employ to actively recruit the target

population, and must discuss the

projected length of time necessary to

determine the efficacy of their models’

technical assistance.

Case management/support services:

Project case managers must prepare the

target population for sustainable highquality employment by utilizing

intensive training and support services,

including drug and alcohol treatment,

mentoring and tutoring, child care,

counseling, and other case management

services. The framework for the model

must provide for (as applicable):

individual needs assessment; individual

service strategies; long-term follow-up

services; and linkages with human

services, housing, health care,

education, and transportation services;

and gender-specific services (e.g.,

treatment for trauma associated with

sexual abuse, and domestic violence

prevention initiatives). Other strategies

may include ‘‘soft skills’’ training (e.g.,

individual competency development

efforts), like job behavior and life skills

training, social skills and selfdetermination, conflict resolution,

parenting classes, exposure to postsecondary education opportunities, and

military service/national and

community service projects. Service

strategies must also focus on providing

assistance to engage in job training,

secure employment, fulfill legal

restitution obligations, or establish

successful independent living. Specialneeds youth, including those with

physical, psychiatric, and/or

developmental disabilities must be

provided with enhanced case

management that will allow them to

access a comprehensive system of care,

including treatment, education, and

individual and family support services.

Because this wide range of services

should be provided by the proposed or

existing partnerships of community

organizations, applicants must submit

memoranda of understanding (MOUs)

with the local WIA partners and other

critical agencies specifying the role of

each party in the project. Applicants

must describe the intensive training and

support services identified above that

will be offered as part of the planned

program components, and must detail

the role of project case managers in the

provision of these training and support

services. In addition, applicants must

detail their capacity to sustain these

activities for 2 years after funding under

this solicitation is no longer available.

Young Offender and Gang Prevention

Advisory Board: In order to institute a

holistic approach to assisting the target

population, family member

representatives, employment, education,

mental health, child welfare, substance

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 110 / Thursday, June 7, 2001 / Notices 30761

abuse, criminal justice, and communitybased youth programs must be

incorporated into the projects. In

developing this interrelated system,

grant funds must be used to create a

young offender and gang prevention

advisory board that participates in the

coordination of all activities and

provides input and community support

to the project’s leadership. The advisory

board should be comprised of public

and private sector representation,

parents, youth members, and graduates

of other young offender programs and

will link with the local Youth Council

to provide seamless delivery of services

and maximize use of available

resources. Applicants must describe the

planned composition of the advisory

board, with particular emphasis upon

the process for selecting and seating the

representation of the board. The

applicant must describe the functions of

the board and the process planned to

utilize the board in designing the

holistic delivery expected under the

project. Grantees must also describe

their plans for expanding gang

prevention and suppression efforts in

the target community, including

expanded efforts by local law

enforcement agencies.

Aftercare: Grant funds must link with

existing resources to provide intensive

aftercare services for young offenders

transitioning from secure confinement

in a juvenile corrections facility to the

community. Projects must strategically

coordinate community-wide efforts and

resources to address reentry issues such

as surveillance, supervision, graduated

sanctions and incentives, linkages to

community support systems (families,

peers, schools, employers), transitional

housing, and job training and placement

activities. Applicants must describe

clearly, detailed reentry plans for young

offenders scheduled for release to their

communities and their capacity to

sustain their activities for 2 years after

funding is no longer available. Strategies

for effective case management services

in aftercare programming include:

• Use of a reliable and validated risk

assessment and classification

instrument for establishing eligibility of

the targeted population;

• Individual case planning that

incorporates a family and community

perspective;

• Provision of mental health and

substance abuse assessment and referral

to appropriate treatment services

• A mix of intensive surveillance and

enhanced service delivery;

• Comprehensive, interagency

transition planning that involves all

critical stakeholders;

• A balance of incentives and

graduated consequences coupled with

the imposition of realistic, enforceable

conditions;

• Work-related or work-oriented

activities such as exposure to the

workplace, on-the-job training, work

experience, job shadowing, etc.;

• Coordination of resources of

juvenile correctional agencies, juvenile

courts, juvenile parole agencies, law

enforcement agencies, social service

providers, and local Workforce

Investment Boards; and

• ‘‘Soft skills’’ training, e.g.,

individual competency development

efforts, job behavior and life skills

training; self determination and social

skills training; conflict resolution and

anger management; parenting classes;

exposure to post-secondary education

opportunities; and community service

learning projects.

Partnerships/Linkages: In addition to

enhancing already existing services and

programs, projects must center any

newly developed and implemented

activities upon the needs of youth

involved, or at risk of becoming

involved, with the juvenile justice

system and gangs. In order to

accomplish this, applicants should use

partnerships both (1) to enhance the

young offender programs funded under

this grant and (2) to provide

complementary programs so as to link

services within the target community

and provide a diversity of options for all

young offenders within the target area.

These partnerships must agree to:

• Implement an education and

employment program for young

offenders, gang members, and at-risk

youth in the target area, including

coordination with the private sector to

develop a specified number of careertrack jobs for target area young

offenders;

• Establish alternative sentencing and

community service options for young

offenders, gang members, and at-risk

youth in the target area;

• Connect youth and their families to

appropriate therapeutic and supportive

services designed to enhance individual

and family functioning;

• Expand gang suppression activities

in the target area;

• Provide work-related or workoriented activities such as exposure to

the workplace, on-the-job training,

youth development services, work

experience, job shadowing, etc.; and

• Build connections to local

workforce investment systems such as

linkages with Local Boards while

demonstrating approaches that ensure

that high-risk youth are provided with

quality workforce development services.

Applicants must outline how they

will involve residents, youth, and others

of the community in planning and

involvement in the effort. Proposals

must describe the efforts within the

project to utilize existing services and

programs, particularly those offered

through the WIA One-Stop delivery

system, the juvenile justice system, and

health care system. Applicants must

describe the efforts to be undertaken to

coordinate services with private sector

entities, including commitments for

private sector jobs. Proposals must

describe newly developed and

implemented services and how these

will enhance and augment presently

existing strategies in the community.

In addition, proposals must specify

the linkages between the One-Stop

Youth Services Model, local One-Stop

delivery systems and the Youth Council

(which is part of the Workforce

Investment Board) to ensure

coordination of workforce development

services. These linkages must include

both existing and proposed strategies.

4. Cost Sharing/Leveraging Funds

Applicants also should discuss their

plans to leverage and align with other

funds or resources in order to build

permanent partnerships for the

continuation of services, and should

provide some discussion of the nature of

these leveraged resources, i.e., Federal,

non-Federal, cash or in-kind, State and

county, foundation, capital equipment,

and other funds. Also, the Federal

Bonding Program and the Work

Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) should

be considered as potential tools to assist

with young offender employment

placements. Information about these

programs may be found on ETA’s

website at http://www.doleta.gov.
