The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No. 20BCC000039 in the amount of $53,400 from the North Carolina Department of Public Safety (NC DPS) for the Local Reentry Council and continue a 1 FTE provisional position.
The Durham County Criminal Justice Resource Center has served as the Intermediary Agency for the Local Reentry Council (LRC) since December 2016. The LRC is designed to coordinate services and resources at the local level supporting justice involved individuals to reduce recidivism. After an RFP process, NC DPS awarded a new contract to Durham County to maintain Local Reentry Council services effective December 21, 2019. An Employment Case Manager position is required in the contract and will need to be re-authorized as part of the Budget Amendment.
