DOUGLAS COUNTY PROPOSES TO EXPAND BOTH THE NUMBER OF PROVIDERS AND TYPES OF STABILITY SERVICES OFFERED TO PRE-ADJUDICATED YOUTH, WHO ARE PRIMARILY YOUTH OF COLOR FROM HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED AND UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE SERVICES WILL REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF RACIAL ETHNIC DISPARITIES (R/ED) IN THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM BY PREVENTING YOUTH OF COLOR FROM ENTERING DETENTION; EXPEDITING THE RELEASE OF DETAINED YOUTH OF COLOR TO THEIR HOMES; AND PROVIDING EARLY INTERVENTION USING CULTURALLY COMPETENT EVIDENCE-BASED SERVICES AND PROGRAMS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE FAMILIES AND YOUTH WITHIN THE FAMILY-HOME.
