The Maryland Office of the Public Defender (OPD) will receive $395,542 under a three-year Project Grant from the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's Indigent Defense program (CFDA 16.836). The funding will support OPD's "Bringing Children Home" program focusing on Baltimore, Maryland. The program will enhance juvenile indigent defense representation for youth charged with gun possession by embedding dedicated clinical social work expertise into the defense team. Specifically, a forensic social worker will be incorporated into the legal teams representing children at risk of adult prosecution and sentencing. The social worker will engage with the young client and legal team from the outset, focusing initially on transfer or waiver hearings and providing ongoing clinical expertise, support, and referrals throughout the legal proceedings. By adding forensic social work services to representation of clients charged with gun possession and other offenses that could lead to adult prosecution, the program aims to address barriers within the juvenile justice system that cause youth to remain in out-of-home placements rather than receive community-based support.
