The contract amount will remain <br />$6,000 for FY 2019. Attached to this letter you will find a statistical grid/market value statement of <br />services provided to your citizens in 2017. Attachment A of the contract includes an overview of <br />services/programs available to Hugo residents. <br />Once the city budget for 2019 has been adopted, please sign and return a copy of the contract to me. I <br />will send a payment invoice to the city after January 1, 2019 or on a date specified by you. <br />There are many reasons that this crime prevention and public safety program warrants support from the <br />City of Hugo. LC4YF is the only comprehensive youth intervention program in our area, providing the <br />most extensive array of evidence -based supports and services for at -risk youth. We provide the <br />diversion alternative available to Hugo residents. Having this option available to at -risk youth actually <br />saves taxpayers money and contributes directly to the safety and wellbeing of Hugo residents and the <br />overall health of the community. <br />P The cost of providing our community justice services to area youth and their families for up to a year <br />is $750 per client. This includes access to educational classes, enrichment opportunities, parenting <br />support, and youth and family counseling. The average cost of a juvenile court case is $3,500 per <br />youth— and that does not count on -going supervision by probation staff and other resources. <br />In 2017, LC4YF provided early intervention, counseling and parenting services to 22 youth clients, <br />15 adults. We provided $20,915 in services to Hugo residents. Our program is efficient, effective, and <br />it works! 89% of youth who complete our services do not re -offend. Parents also get the support <br />they need to help keep their child moving in the right direction. <br />Your continued contract with LC4YF has a life -changing impact on youth offenders, victims, and family <br />members. Thank you. <br />Attachments <br />Cl <br />ow <br />Council' <br />MEETS <br />STAND D: <br />em�rtpirtrs.org, <br />
