Colleague this is is the third and final hearing to help this xhinltee get prepared for our budget process. Which will get started next week. When we hear from our many departments our enterprise departments, in the meantime this has been a great insight in the conversation between the departments, community, stake holders and the mayors Budget Office. This week folk suson Community Safety and network of program and service that keep our youth, families, seniors and residents safe. After the presentation the city after the presentation today i ask members to hold questions until the Public Comment. So we hear from people who are directly impacted by the services and any cuts for increase that might be decided upon by policy makers. Lets go to our first presentation. Department of children, youth and families. Supervisors. Good afternoon chair chan, supervisors the public. Im maria hsu the director for children, youth and their families im happy to share with you a couple things one is the journey of how we got to the budget is today. The things we are doing to support our young people, our transitional aged youth and families. As well as touch some initiatives we are doing to address safety within our city. I want to call attention everyones attention to the fact this year in 2023 and 24 our budget is closer to 210 Million Dollars. That includes dollars for personnel and use to support Technical Assistance and evaluation. As well as just other things like our general operations. And inside this operating cost rew have the base line a public evidence the general fund portion of the baselineful we also have 136 Million Dollars that we grant out in nonprofits. In that there are grants that we give to nonprofits. Work orders we sends to other City Departments. Like juvenile probation sending us money for work orders. Money in the line item that is held for cost of doing business and the minimum compensation. Dollars this includes one time add backs as well as the dollars this we were able to secure over the past 21 2 years during the pandemic. And finally state and federal grants that includes our juvenile justice grants and largest grant which is the usd a grant the summer food grant. We have other City Departments that includes the d. Public health and work order to the department of early childhood. Next year to year budget we are proposing to the Mayors Office our budget falls down 182 Million Dollars. Our operations decrease. Primarily in our personnel. And significant low our grants decrease. And this is primarily because there are no more one time add backs and one time dollars this we were able to secure over those 21 2 years. We are receiving the federal and state grants although smaller and funding that we are allocate to Mental Health come wellness. We have worked hard with our City Departments to reduce work orders from 41 Million Dollars down to 37 Million Dollars. And in general, what we are looking at here is making the budget targets that all City Departments were asked to do. In terms of the rsp issued it to our community to Fund Programs that will help us meet the results that are stated here. The 4 result areas are going to be our north star as we move in the next knife year cycle. We received a total of 700 proposals requesting on an annual basis 114. 7 Million Dollars. And the range was only from 87 million to 96 Million Dollars annual etch we were 80 to allocate 92 Million Dollars to 142 agencies to fund 231 programs. The reason is because we had to make reductions during the phase earlier. There was a question one supervisor Second Degree me today why did you not start at 92 . When we issued the rfp left year we did not have our budget targets we did not know the targets and now this we did know we had to make adjustments in the rfp. Another way to see this is to show that the rfp the proposals we received totals 114 Million Dollars the proposals we funds was 92 Million Dollars. That means we were able to fund 22 of the proposals that we of the dollar amounts requested. What you see in the pie chart on the right is is this we prioritize our after cool programs and prioritize Youth Workforce Development and justice services. And support our educational and academic support programs as well as enrichment and skill building areas. This concludes that part. I can continue into the second part or. Yes. In terms of how are we achieving our youth, to serve our youth and young adults and families we have again. Funding in various strategy areas. School time we are specific about making sure that we have clearer Performance Measures that we want our cbos to achieve once again we go back to results and say that, yes. After participating in the Program Young people will be and are red to succeed in school. That is year roungd and summer programs. And were building out our enrichment and skill building category this includes arts and identity formation and inclusion programs. Our stem our science, technology and engineering programs and sports and physical activityism will acknowledge that this Yasser Arafat funding has been shrunken because we were prioritizing out of school time funding and trying to preserve the cuts. And Education Support services. This is where we are really doubling down on making sure that our young people, are going to recover from the covid learning loss they experienced over the last 21 2 years. We are funding academic support, summer youth and. Am programs and literally programs and supporting alternative education. And in terms of workforce, we are going to continue the usual programs that we funds jop promise employment and education program. Our High School Summer partnership this we have with our schools Public Schools. And the general the youth workforce general for all high school students. What we are doing in workforce is calling out additional focus on our k and categories. We as a Social Security not just dcys or juvenile probation or adult we as a system are working together to make sure that all young people have care right at the front gate opposed to care in the system. And so we ever working close low to redesign and model a new alternative initiative. This actually come from a lot of the recommendations that our Community Came to us with from the task force and the blue rippon task force to make sure that every young person who is engaged in the system will be attached a support person. We share in the previous hearings what we have seen in working with our district is that there has been post pandemic increased violence that we are seeing on school cites for young people and as they are on munis or in our parks and in our community, we are seeing a lot of the interruptions happening. We worked with our School District partners and our system partners and nonprofit agencies to design what we are calling the School Crisis support initiative. If everyone come together and wrap our arms around the young person it make sure that they and family vs when they need to succeed then that young person will be successful. This silent team i was referencing. We are working with our schools. The school add administrator. We have a national Technical Assistance provider supporting us. W with nonprofits and juvenile probation and work width wrap around project. It is about cardination and making sure we have the right information at the right time to be responsive. It is making sure this we train yourself and nonprofit agencies to recognize how we serve our young people and can w with them and improve. The way that we can work that in together and finally really focusing on trying to get public messaging out so that everyone can see a place for themselves in this role of ensuring our young people are safe in schools and to and from school that concludes my presentation.
