County highlights prevention programs, a pilot resource center and foundation support
Summary
Officials described local prevention and reentry programs — a Neighborhood Resource Center, school‑based TIPS pilot, and juvenile leadership council — and said the department secured grants and foundation support to expand services; a grant mentioned from OJJDP had a garbled dollar figure in the transcript and is unconfirmed.
Speakers described community programs intended to prevent out‑of‑home placements and support reentry, and they noted external funding sources that will support piloted services in Chester and elsewhere.
"The NRC provided a stabilizing presence in the lives of young people who might otherwise fall through the cracks," said a Juvenile Detention & Rehabilitation Services presenter, describing the Neighborhood Resource Center. Officials also noted awards and foundation support, including $15,000 from the Annie E. Casey Foundation to support programming; a separate federal grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to launch a pilot resource center in Chester was referenced in the hearing, but the dollar amount reported in the transcript appears to be garbled and is not confirmed in the record.
