Proposed Project Period: From: July 1, 2014 To: June 30, 2015 10. Proposed Project Summary: To address factors that contribute to gangs and violent crime, the City of Omaha will employ the Omaha Gang Violence Prevention Strategy Phase #4 (OGVPS). The City of Omaha has partnered with nine community-based organizations to implement a comprehensive approach to problems related to gangs and violent crime across the community. These organizations will provide prevention and intervention programs, as described below, to area youth and gang members. This comprehensive approach allows the City of Omaha to make the greatest impact and reach a wide-range of target populations and locations. The OGVPS is congruent with the 2012 —2015 Douglas County Comprehensive Juvenile Services Plan which lists the "centralization of information sharing, communication, and collaboration opportunities for the juvenile justice system and juvenile providers in Omaha and Douglas County," among its top priorities. The City of Omaha will provide grant administration to each of these partnering organizations. The Omaha Gang Violence Prevention Strategy Phase #4 is a comprehensive community wide approach, providing prevention and intervention programs and services to at-risk and gang involved youth in Omaha. Each program provides a unique service and serves differing populations, demonstrating a collaborative approach to gang and violent crime. Each of these organizations work in partnership with the others to ensure there are no gaps in service provision. 11. Area(s) Served by Project: (Statewide, Counties, Cities, 12.

Fl Yes ❑No What evidence exists that the proposed program is evidence-based and/effective? Please cite resources and websites that contribute to the effectiveness of this program. The OJJDP and Department of Justice consistently recognize community collaboration as the most successful method for reducing gun violence. The most recognized success stories, Ceasefire (Chicago), Boston Gun Project (10 Pt Coalition) and CIRV (Cincinnati), all have at their core comprehensive collaboration. South Omaha Violence Intervention Prevention (SOVIP) SOVIP is committed to utilizing evidence based and promising practice models at each community forum education event. According to research conducted by Miao, Umenoto, Gonda and Hishinuma(2011) there are "five elements essential for community engagement in evidence-based youth violence prevention; Common Vision, Inclusivity, Collaboration, Leadership and Capacity Building, and Social Learning" (pp. 121-122). SOVIP considers all of these elements when selecting educational topics, locations, and marketing for each community forum. Reference: Miao, T.A; Umemoto, K., Gonda, D., & Hishinuma, E. S.(2011). Essential elements for community engagement in evidence-based youth violence prevention. Society for Community Research and Action, 48: 120-132. doi: 10.1007/s 10464-010-9418-6 Empowerment Network- Omaha 360 The Omaha 360 model incorporates evidence-based and best practice elements of all three of these models.

Hope Center for Kids Elaine Morley and Shelli B. Rossman in their publication, Helping At-Risk Youth Lessons from Community-Based Initiatives, (January, 1998.) note the effectiveness of community collaboration in efforts to serve youth in the area of violence prevention. Morley states, "There is growing interest in community-based collaboratives focused on service integration or comprehensive service delivery that address clients' multiple needs by implementing a broad-based. continuum of care and linking youth and families to a variety of services." Omaha 360 has provided the opportunity for many agencies to come together on a weekly basis to share information and develop community partnerships that support youth in Omaha. During the Fall Village Basketball Alliance (VBA) season, a young man affiliated with one of the teams was killed in an act of gang violence. Many of the young men were devastated by this event. His prayer vigil was to be held on the night of VBA, but was switched because although many of the youth wanted to attend this prayer time, they also wanted to meet together and play their VBA game together in his memory. Being with caring adults helped prevent retaliation for their friend's death. Many of the coaches and community partners attended the prayer time with the young men. The support given to the young men helped facilitate conversations that averted retaliation. Hope Center for Kids includes the collection of data and the use of measured feedback to stakeholders and funders, with the goal of continuous improvement of program operations. The current OVP 5004 grant has afforded Hope Center for Kids the tools and accountability required to measure impact of the Village Basketball Alliance. Omaha Police Department (OPD) The proposed program is comprised from elements of the following evidence-based practices: Operation Ceasefire, Minneapolis Hot Spots Experiment, and Cure Violence. The OPD currently works with local, State, and Federal authorities to find and arrest gun traffickers, restore serial numbers, and trace firearms as is described in the Operation Ceasefire evidence-based program. The hiring of a Gang/Fireaiins Analyst will enhance OPD's effectiveness to complete all these tasks while allowing Gang Officers to spend more time working on the street. In the Minneapolis Hot Spot Experiment law enforcement provide intensive patrol services to high-crime areas or hot spots. The overtime that OPD is requesting funds for will be used to conduct hot spot operations and gang suppression and gun amnesty operations to prevent outbursts of gang violence and get firearms off the street. One of the components of the evidence-based program Cure Violence is street-level outreach, which is the focus of OPD's Gang Specialists. They work with at-risk youth who are either in gangs or may be heading in that direction and connect them with alternatives to violence. OVP funding will provide resources to the Gang Specialists so that they can host character building activities and educational materials for the youth that participate in their classes.

CSP Evidence-Based Practice Registries include Find Youth Info. (www.findyouthinfo.gov), Office of Young Justice &Delinquency Prevention Model Programs Guide (www2.dsgonline.com/mpg) and the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare (www.cebc4cw.org). Boys Town has been an approved Council on Accreditation(COA)facility for over ten years. There are many parenting programs, books,magazines,blogs and online resources but the Boys Town CSP program stands out because it provides families with a series of highly interactive learning sessions that help parents develop their own effective and positive parenting style using a time tested,practical approach. The Boys Town's CSP program has been provided for nearly two decades and has been implemented in a multitude of child Ind family service agencies. CSP has been translated into several languages and adapted to meet the needs of many liverse populations. Based on parent evaluations and feedback from over 3,000 trainers from 47 states and 15 countries, results indicate that the CSP program provides quality programs to parents and families. Program success is measured through parent surveys scored and evaluated by Boys Town's research department.

This position would assist the Gang Unit and allow for the Gang Unit officers to conduct more operations and investigations. The job duties of the Gang/Firearms Analyst include performing firearm traces, entering gang member intelligence, creating gang bulletins, coordinating intelligence with surrounding Nebraska agencies, and setting up monthly meetings for gang investigators. Hundreds of guns come into the police department annually that needed to be traced for investigative purposes. These traces are important for leads on "straw purchasers", individuals who buy and provide guns for prohibited individuals. Having a Gang/Firearm Analyst conduct these traces frees up Gang Unit officers to spend more time conducting investigations. Additionally, the Gang Unit both tracks intelligence and needs to purge intelligence that is no longer useful. Having a Gang/Firearm Analyst managing the gang intelligence frees up Gang Unit officers time. Overtime: The City of Omaha is requesting $10,000 for the Omaha Police Department (OPD) for overtime operations that focus on illegal gun crime, gang activity, and surges in crime. To lower illegal gun crime overtime operations will be implemented by using proactive approaches utilizing undercover work and/or confidential informants to buy weapons off the street. Gun Amnesty overtime operations will be conducted to allow weapons to be turned into the police department for testing, possibly destruction, with no questions asked. Gang suppression and hot spot operations will be performed as necessary in order to suppress gang activity or saturate an area with law enforcement personnel that has experienced a surge of criminal activity. $49/hr Overtime x 204.0816 hrs = $10,000 The City of Omaha is requesting $4,508 for the Omaha Police Department (OPD) to cover the cost of fringe benefits and pension expenses related to community policing overtime operations. The City of Omaha's fringe benefit contribution for Omaha police officers is 45.08 percent of salary. This includes contractually mandated contributions of 12.41 percent for benefits and a 32.67 percent for pension. Match: The City of Omaha is providing an in-kind match of$118,425 via the Omaha Police Department's (OPD) Firearms Squad Sergeant's salary ($76,731) and fringe benefits ($41,694). The Firearms Squad supervisor is responsible for overseeing all gun related investigations within OPD. This includes reviewing gun cases and providing assignments to squad members, so thorough investigations can be completed. The supervisor maintains monthly squad statistics on overall investigations, guns seized, gun traces, DNA testing, NCIC gun validations and many other portions of the unit. The supervisor is also a member of the ATF Task Force, which relates to investigations of gun trafficking, prohibited persons, and violent crimes involving guns.

The Gang Specialists do not have supplies and operating funds available for events or outreach. $153 for equipment per event x 2 events = $306 $200 for facilities rental per event x 2 events = $400 $100 for camera equipment rental per event x 2 events = $200 Supplies and Operating Amount Requested: $3,203 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 36 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application CATEGORY G—OTHER COSTS Description Item Amount Applicant's Match Total Cost Requested Omaha Police Department Firearms DNA Analysis $25,000 ,1 $25,000 Total $25,000 $25,000 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 37 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application OTHER BUDGET NARRATIVE: Omaha Police Department The City of Omaha is requesting $25,000 for the Omaha Police Department(OPD) to conduct DNA testing on firearms used in violent crimes. Approximately 43 individual DNA tests will be made possible with this funding. DNA from firearms used in crimes will be analyzed and compared to suspected offender DNA. The DNA testing procedure requires at least three total DNA swabs per weapon in order for OPD to claim a weapon definitely matches an offender. Two (2) swabs from the weapon are analyzed, along with one swab from the suspect. Depending on the case and the weapon used, more DNA swabs from the weapon may be required. Funding will pay for the testing of crime- associated guns and DNA analysis to include buccal swab comparison and/or Gunshot Residue (GSR) testing.

Key indicators of violent crime include Part One Violent Offenses; gun related offenses, gang participation and membership, and gang related crime. Unemployment and poverty are also contributing socioeconomic factors, and are seen at higher rates in areas with the highest levels of gun and violent crime. While an increase in local prevention and intervention programs has led to a reduction in many of these indicators in recent years, they remain at higher levels than the rest of the state. Violent crime not only affects the victims, it affects the offenders, the families, community residents, service providers, and the city of Omaha as a whole. The following illustrates the gang and violent crime issue through an analysis of the key indicators of violent crime and examines the extent to which violent crime damages the greater Omaha community. Part One Violent Offenses, as defined by the Uniform Crime Reports, indicates that violent crime remains high in Omaha and accounts for a significant portion of all violent crimes in Nebraska. In 2012, Omaha experienced 41 homicides, 187 rapes, 815 robberies, and 1,442 aggravated assaults. The number of criminal homicides represents a 20.59% increase since 2010.

Most violent crime in Omaha, particularly gang-involved crime, involves firearms. Shots fired calls are the most common firearm offense in Omaha with 2,632 in 2012, representing a 28.39% increase since 2010. While shots fired calls cannot be attributed to a specific crime, they indicate that firearms are being used for crimes and intimidation, particularly in the eastern part of Omaha where the majority of gangs and shots fired calls are located. Gun homicides have increased from 30 in 2010 to 35 in 2012 and the city of Omaha has accounted for 67 percent of the state's total homicides over the past three years. Robberies 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 39 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application with a firearm have decreased over the past three years, but account for over half of all state wide robberies.

The Omaha Police Department uses the Department of Justice definition of gang members to track and monitor gang activity in Omaha. The number of suspected gang members in Omaha in 2012 was 3,029. The number of new gang members from 2010 to 2012 increased by 312.9 percent.

This decrease in gang activity, despite the increased number of new gang members, may be the result of funding and support received by community organizations providing violence prevention and intervention services during the past several years. The numbers of gang involved homicides, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault have all declined from 2011 to 2012. The continued influx of funding and support for these programs may result in a further decline of gang activity. 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 40 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application Violent crime in Omaha reveals deeply rooted and pervasive issues of poverty, P,wae,Rtl 1;o J unemployment, and other disparate �� N 1 Slate Hwy 36 S' Rtl socioeconomic conditions.

Research indicates that gun crime is often committed by individuals that come from communities with high poverty, lack adequate education, have a poor work history, are unemployed, and lack a solid family structure. (Hayden, Hales, Lewis & Silverstone, 2008 Policy Studies Volume 29, Issue 1). Although Omaha has a citywide unemployment rate of 8.4 percent (PUMA), the jobless rate is much higher in Northeast and Southeast Omaha. Northeast Omaha is home to a median household income (MHI) of$33,365 or 28 percent less than the MHI for all of Omaha. With an unemployment rate of 13.5 percent, an individual poverty rate of 27.1 percent, and a child poverty rate of 40.6 percent, the cycle of poverty in northeast Omaha is the worst in the city and is longstanding (see Table 4 below). African Americans living in northeast Omaha are among the poorest in the nation, ranking first nationally in African American childhood poverty and third nationally as the poorest African American community (Omaha World Herald, April 2007). Educational attainment is lower, with 15.6 percent of adults lacking a high school degree, as compared to 12 percent of all Omaha adults. Utilizing the OJJDP SMART Community Disadvantage Index (CDI) scale, the northeast target area neighborhoods rate a 9.75 out of 10, identifying them as the most disadvantaged in the City of Omaha and the country. Southeast Omaha hosts a median household income (MHI) of$38,531, or 17 percent less than the Omaha's MHI. With an unemployment rate of 10.7 percent, an individual poverty rate of 23.1 percent and a child poverty rate of 31 percent, 24 percent of adults without a high school degree, and a CDI score of 8, southeast Omaha is more economically disadvantaged than the city as a whole (see Table 4 below). 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 41 of61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application Table 4: Social Data Points Median Children Households Age 25+No Household Unempl- Individuals < 18 in with kids< 18 High School Area oyment in Poverty Income ° Poverty that are single Diploma(%) Rate (/°) (2012) (%) ( ) Northwest Omaha $65,465 4.6% 9.0% 11.5% parent 25.7%/° 3.7% Southwest Omaha $69,969 4.0% 6.9% 10.1% 28.0% 4.4% Northeast Omaha $33,365 13.5% 27.1% 40.6% 55.4% 15.6% Southeast Omaha $38,531 10.7% 23.1% 31.0% 43.0% 24.0% Douglas County $52,428 7.3% 14.9% 21.1% 35.1% 10.3% City of Omaha $46,202 8.4% 17.5% 25.7% 40.4% 12.1% Douglas county has 4 PUMAS.

Source:PUMA compiled by University of Nebraska,College of Public Affairs and Community Service As the above data demonstrates, Omaha's highest levels of gangs, guns, and violent crime exist where the socioeconomic conditions are the poorest. Accordingly, the city must continue to employ a comprehensive, coordinated approach to produce the greatest collective impact on violence prevention while focusing on prevention, intervention, and enforcement. 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 42 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention-Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application How project will impact proposed problem? To address the factors that contribute to gangs and violent crime, the City of Omaha will employ the Omaha Gang Violence Prevention Strategy Phase #4 (OGVPS). The City of Omaha has partnered with nine community-based organizations to implement a comprehensive approach to problems related to gangs and violent crime across the community. These organizations will provide prevention and intervention programs to area youth and gang members. Prevention Programs South Omaha Violence Intervention Prevention (SOVIP) The SOVIP Partnership is a group of committed public and private entities who have come together to develop solutions, interventions and prevention strategies to reduce gang influence, violence, and related crime in the South Omaha Community. The mission of SOVIP is to positively impact youth and families by reducing the risk and increasing the resiliency factors related to violence through culturally competent strategies and establishing responsive measurable outcomes as part of a citywide collaborative. According to Preventing Youth Violence through the Promotion of Community Engagement and Membership research analysis conducted by Zeldin (2004), "Youth policy in the United States reflects the public assumption that adolescence is a time of storm and stress and that youth are therefore in need of protection and control from their communities. These and other beliefs about youth distance adults from youth in their communities and, equally important, distract attention and debate from the full range of policy responses available to address youth violence." Involving youth and parents in community efforts to curb violent behavior and criminal activity have been shown to have a significant positive impact in several communities throughout the United States. Therefore the SOVIP Partnership seeks to meet its mission through the coordination of leveraged resources and expertise; increased communication among the partners; and by developing a plan to increase visibility and awareness in order to advocate for better outcomes within the community. Research of gang activity in Omaha indicates that there are no stable hot spots of gang activity in Southeast Omaha; rather these locations change from year to year(http://dataomaha.com/documents /2011-12-omaha-gang-assessment). The UNO research team found it very challenging to gather a high level of ethnographic data among south Omaha gangs. This increases the need to have an active and engaged community in all of the identified zones of Southeast Omaha to host meetings or forums where community members can provide input into the prevention and intervention methods employed in their community. South Omaha Community Forum Education Events will impact the problem by providing forums that bring in partners and resources that can directly impact and improve the lives of the community members involved in these events. The goal would be to draw on the resources of the local schools, churches and community organizations to educate and empower local stakeholders. Empowerment Network- Omaha 360 Omaha 360 is an evidenced based city-wide violence prevention strategy. The Omaha 360 Director has worked to expand the mobilization of community resources around a centralized, multifaceted approach to curb gun and gang violence, ensure all partner organizations implement model and best-practice 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 43 of61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application programs, facilitate coordination and collaboration between strategy elements, and continuously improve community-based violence prevention strategies and programs. The Director will build capacity within each organization and implement best-practices into programs and services; lead and facilitate Omaha 360 advisory group meetings; and participate in steering committee meetings to prioritize strategy objectives and enable continuous improvement of the strategy based on crime trends and emerging best-practices. The Director will facilitate cross-sector collaboration and coordination and improve communication between community, police, community-based organizations, governmental agencies and others to address gun and gang violence; identify hot-spots or potential violent crime situations and coordinate appropriate law enforcement, intervention, and prevention programs to appropriately address the situation; work with steering committees to develop, promote and implement public outreach and education strategies to change perceptions of violence and rally the community around violence prevention initiatives. The Director will work with partner organizations and the evaluator to develop an appropriate and secure centralized data collection strategy. Collectively, the Director's responsibilities will develop and maintain the infrastructure necessary to facilitate a comprehensive approach to violent crime in Omaha. Hope Center for Kids - Village Basketball Alliance Through the efforts of Omaha 360, community partners have identified critical issues facing youth, particularly in north Omaha. Although much has been done to tackle gang violence, gang activity continues to devastate the community and youth of north Omaha. The desire is for young people to be connected to youth-serving organizations where positive, healthy life-style principles are shared. Village Basketball Alliance (VBA) was created in 2011 to support this vision. The purpose of the VBA is to provide an environment for youth to recreate, to interact without fear of violence, and to learn positive social skills with caring adults. The Hope Center for Kids has provided building space and staff to run the program and serve as fiscal agent for the VBA. Last year, Hope Center for Kids received the Nebraska Crime Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, 2012 Omaha Gang Violence Prevention Strategy Phase 3, #12-VP- 5004 grant to support the efforts of VBA's goal of violence prevention in north Omaha. This grant has provided VBA the ability to expand several aspects of the program, including the acquisition of team jerseys, medals and trophies, and celebrations at the end of each season. These are just a few of the positive steps towards developing a safe, positive community gathering place for young people in the community. The request for continuation of this grant will allow VBA to continue providing continuity and growth of the program. Youth from several organizations participated in this prevention strategy during the 2013 school year. Participating organizations include Hope Center for Kids, Urban League, Boys & Girls Club North, ENCAP, Impact One, Washington Branch Library, Day Spring Ministries, Salvation Army, Ambassador Worship Center and Blackburn Alternative School. Recently, Omaha Home for Boys has joined the league. Omaha Police and Omaha 360 members have embraced this program with visible support on a weekly basis. Up to 150 youth participate in each 10 week league. Along with participants in the league, 50-100 peers and family members attend each week to watch the games. As many as 250 people have attended VBA on a weekly basis during the season. The VBA league has been a positive experience for community 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 44 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application partners. Youth from conflicting areas of the community are able to lay down their differences and play basketball in a safe environment with caring adults present. Intervention Omaha Police Department (OPD) In 2012, 77.4 percent of the total homicides that occurred in Nebraska were committed in the City of Omaha. Of the 41 homicides that occurred in Omaha in 2012, 24 percent were gang related. In comparison, Omaha accounts for only 22.7 percent of the total Nebraska population. The Omaha Police Department(OPD) will utilize Office of Violence Prevention(OVP) funding to greatly enhance the department's ability to address street and gang violence, and homicides and injuries caused by firearms. OPD will take a multi-faceted approach, using both enforcement and intervention strategies,to address the problem. In enforcement OVP funding will be used to hire a Gang/Firearms Analyst; increase DNA forensic analysis of firearms; provide resources to conduct overtime operations such as hot-spot, gang suppression, and gun amnesty operations; and training for officers so that they are kept apprised of the developments in gang information. In intervention OVP funding will be used to further support the OPD Gang Specialists who conduct sreet-level outreach with youth identified by the OPD Gang Unit as belonging to or associated with a gang. The Gang Specialists visit the local school system to lead discussions on self-worth, positive choices, and the consequences of negative decisions. These discussions cultivate a greater understanding of the risks and costs associated with involvement in gang and violent crime. The Gang Specialists also reach out to participating youth to connect them with alternatives to violence and conduct regular follow-up meetings. OVP funding will be utilized to purchase supplementary educational materials to further enhance these classes and allow Gang Specialists to take participants on field trips to both reward the youth and build character. Boys Town and Impact One Boys Town proposes to work with Impact One, a grassroots community based organization that strives to assist at-risk youth in becoming positive contributing members of the community through gang intervention and prevention, employability training,job placement, re-entry assistance and providing referral services. Boys Town's Common Sense Parenting (CSP) classes will be a mandatory part of the curriculum for teen parents and expecting teen parents involved in Impact One's Game Changers Program. CSP will also be required for youth taking the Life Skills course taught at Blackburn Alternative High School if they are teen parents or expecting teen parents. Impact One serves approximately 150 teen parents/expecting teen parents annually in its Game Changers program and its Life Skills class offered at Blackburn Alternative High School. Common Sense Parenting will impact the problem by teaching teen parents to build strong, healthy relationships; correct and change problem behavior; minimize problems that disrupt family life; raise responsible, caring children; communicate effectively; avoid power struggles; control emotions; balance discipline with affection; praise good behavior; and be better parents. 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 45 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application Heartland Family Service— Victim Empathy Program (VEP) The Victim Empathy Program is a restorative justice program with the goal of helping youth offenders repair the harm to the community and prevent future violent crime. VEP is comprised of two "tracks" that youth offenders can participate in during any time of their involvement in the justice system. Track One is a 3 or 6-week class that includes curriculum instruction, the generation of an apology letter, community service and discussions of victim rights, decision making, and the concept of empathy. Track Two is a professionally facilitated Victim Offender Meeting (VOM) through the Concord Center. While this program is an intervention program, it is also preventative in nature because it ends the lingering shame that frequently causes youth to reoffend. After committing a crime, many youth report they lose respect and trust from parents, teachers and other important people in their lives. Stuck in this "cycle of shame,"they worry that they have ruined their future potential, so they frequently return to criminal activity. Through the VEP lesson "Names, Faces and Hearts" youth learn the importance of accountability for their actions by following through on court or diversion recommendations and repairing the harm. Analysis of the Victim Empathy Program during the 2010-2011 OVP grant year period from the Police Research and Policy Group shows that the program is working. "For the three week group, there is an improvement in empathy of about 1.5 on the scale of 1 to 5, and an improvement of roughly 2.4 in the six week course, on a scale of 1 to 10. These findings are substantive as well as statistically significant, and suggest that the goal of the program, that offenders become empathetically aware of the consequences of their actions, is successful." Release Ministries Release Ministries has worked with at-risk youth since 1994 in connection with the Juvenile Justice System, and the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. Studies have shown that positive relationships with non-familial adults have been indicated to promote resiliency among youth from at- risk backgrounds (Rhodes, 1994). Youth from backgrounds of environmental risk and disadvantage appear most likely to benefit from participation in mentoring programs (Effectiveness of Mentoring Programs for Youth, DuBois, Holloway). Enhanced benefits of mentoring generally have been expected to result when mentoring is linked to other supportive services (Flaxman, 1988). Nationwide, over 80 percent of families remain intact after receiving Intensive Family Preservation Services. Release Ministries "wrap around" program of Mentoring and Intensive Family Preservation is two-fold in design. The two elements are 1). One-on-one and group mentoring 2). Intensive Family Preservation (IFP). Each will serve to allow for meaningful interaction between youth who are prone to violence and adults who will speak into their lives, offering a listening ear and opportunity for character development. The IFP will assist in the domains of family functioning, including the families' environment, parental capabilities, family interactions, family safety and child well-being. The project is designed to help youth lay a foundation upon which they can build toward success in every aspect of life. The primary design component for this project is the development of a "Mentoring Community" which will wrap around the youth, enfolding them within a network of loving and skilled adults to help lead them out of negative circumstances and behavior patterns and into positive lifestyles; resulting in genuine fulfillment and productivity as contributing citizens. The five target areas for service to the youth are: 1) Family and Behavior, 2) Career and Employment, 3) Education, 4) Decision Making, Life Skills, and Recreation, 5) Spiritual Growth. The program is designed to offer medium and high-risk youth the support of caring 1/1 7/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 46 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention--Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application adults through one-on-one and group settings in order to help them overcome risk factors, reducing or eliminating destructive behavior and enabling them to attain academic, relational, and job related skills. New Life Family Alliance New Life Family Alliance's project will impact gun and gang issues primarily in the refugee community, particularly with Sudanese youth. The rise of deviancy the City of Omaha is witnessing in the Sudanese community is a result of various factors: lack of parental involvement, lack of opportunity, and misguidance. New Life Family Alliance has been working to raise awareness in the community of the impact parents have in the development of their children. Legal advocacy would help parents feel empowered through understanding the legal process to confidently engage along with their children, instead of powerlessly spectating. This would help build strong trust and bond between parents and children. A newsletter would educate the Sudanese community on parental roles, highlighting sources of various opportunities to engage youth, and providing examples of success stories. Opportunity and guidance are critical missing pieces in Sudanese children's lives. A positive alternative program like the Omaha Talon basketball Club, would offer youth the opportunity to be consistently engaged by positive influential figures and nurturing environment. Impact One Community Connection To address violent crime and gang activity in North and South Omaha, Impact One will provide street outreach targeting high risk gang individuals and inviting them to become a member of the Game Changers Group (previously named Truce Group). Participants will pledge to not participate in violent activities and engage in pro-social activities selected and specified by Impact One. Game Changers participants will need to be in compliance with their Personalized Plan, participate in employment soft skill building, problem solving, customer service, work communication styles, and quality assurance programming. They will also complete various assessments, testing and paperwork to speed up access to various supportive services. Such partners as Vocational Rehabilitation, Workforce Investment Act(Adult& Youth), TABE testing, Region 6, Metropolitan Community College, and other agencies and entities as identified via the Individualized Development Plan will be engaged to assist in supportive service delivery. High profile gang members becoming pro-social and law abiding citizens will reduce community violence, crime, family instability, incarceration, utilization of law enforcement and criminal justice resources. 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 47 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application Project Operation Prevention Programs South Omaha Violence Intervention Prevention (SOVIP) Involving youth and parents in community efforts to curb violent behavior and criminal activity have shown to have a significant positive impact in several communities throughout the United States. There are several agencies in the South Omaha community that are already assisting in violence prevention these forums would help educate the community about available resources and how community members can connect to them. Initially, SOVIP members would form a small committee to plan, develop and implement the community forum education events. SOVIP members would then be enlisted to gather informal information from the South Omaha community through questionnaires and discussions held at monthly SOVIP meetings regarding topics that would be beneficial and educational. The Office of Violence Prevention will be contacted for input on appropriate trainings to meet the goals and outcomes of these forums. SOVIP members would then distribute SOVIP marketing materials strategically throughout the community and participate in the South Omaha neighborhood associations and alliance meetings to inquire about topics of interest. Once topics of interest and needs are identified and agreed upon, SOVIP members would decide the goals/objectives of the events, the target audience, community resources available, and location of the event. A survey will be developed to assess community member satisfaction following each community forum. SOVIP members would hold regular planning meetings to track the progress of the four events. SOVIP will promote the events through radio, newspapers, list serves, and fliers and through the networks that SOVIP partners have developed. SOVIP will evaluate the effectiveness of the community events and gather feedback from attendees by asking for a brief evaluation to be completed after the event. Empowerment Network— Omaha 360 Omaha 360 is modeled after the Chicago Cease Fire Program and the Boston Gun Project, Department of Justice-recognized, evidenced-based programs that help achieve reductions in gang and gun violence. These programs recognize that addressing the complex issue of gang and gun violence requires a comprehensive and multifaceted strategy that includes the elements of targeted outreach of at-risk youth, prevention programs, intervention programs, enforcement tactics, and public education. These tactics address reasons youth join gangs, provide alternatives to the gang lifestyle for current members, suppress gang violence, and educate the community on the realities of violence. To ensure these elements work collectively toward the same goal, a dedicated coordinator is necessary to mobilize the community around the shared violence prevention strategy and facilitate cross-sector collaboration and coordination between each strategy and strategy partner. In September 2006, the Empowerment Network launched a violence prevention and intervention task- force in North Omaha as a way to reduce gang and violent crime indicators. The violence taskforce includes partners conducting targeted outreach, intervention, prevention, enforcement, public education, and support services. The Empowerment Network itself does not implement these programs and services that comprise the violence prevention strategy, but rather works with dozens of local community-based organizations to ensure these elements are being implemented in the community. 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 48 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application As the Omaha 360 task-force has expanded in size and scope, it must also expand its strategy capabilities. The current Omaha 360 task-force involves facilitating information sharing and networking between strategy partners, allowing organizations to build strategic partnerships on their own. The Omaha 360 task-force is transitioning to a collective impact collaboration where partner organizations address the issue of gang and gun violence through a strategic plan with long term goals and objectives, cross-sector collaboration and coordination between each strategy element and strategy partner. Through the 2013 OVP Grant, the City of Omaha and the Empowerment Network will continue transitioning Omaha 360 from a violence prevention task-force to a fully-functional, city-wide, violence prevention strategy and collaboration, as prescribed by the evidenced-based models. Hope Center for Kids—Village Basketball Alliance (VBA) The Village Basketball Alliance provides community youth with up to 36 weeks of league play during a calendar year. Participating agencies will provide a minimal league fee of$100 each session to offset costs, as well as Hope Center for Kids financial partner's off-setting costs of the program. The following steps will be taken: 1. Evaluation in the form of a survey will be in place one month prior to the league play. The Project Coordinator is responsible for the assessment with the goal of effectively measuring program effect. 2. Identification of partners for each league season will take place one month prior to the league session as well as a team meeting of partners to define expectations, set league dates and define projected outcomes; define pre- and post-assessment of players. The League Commissioner will be responsible for these expectations to assure that at least 6-8 agencies are prepared to begin each session with all aspects of program in place. 3. Ten weeks of league play with another week or two set aside for play-offs and finals will be established with the goal of up to 250 community members and youth engaged in positive youth activities. 4. A celebration will occur at the end of each session to celebrate individual and team success with the goal of promoting team unity and pride, along with community support. 5. An evaluation which includes distribution of a player and coach survey along with anecdotal documentation of challenges and celebrations of each session will be provided by the Project Coordinator.

Boys Town and Impact One Boys Town, in collaboration with Impact One, intends to provide Common Sense Parenting (CSP)to approximately 125 teen parents/expecting teen parents during a one-year period. Participants in Impact One's Game Changers program will be required to take CSP if they are parents or expecting parents. Teen parents and expecting teen parents enrolled in Blackburn Alternative School will also be required to take CSP in lieu of the regular Life Skills course (taught by Impact One). Each CSP course can provide instruction for up to 16 participants. To best accommodate Impact One program schedules, Boys Town's parent trainers will conduct 14, one-hour sessions for 14 weeks for CSP offered at Blackburn and 7, two-hour sessions for CSP offered to the Game Changers program. There will he four (4) CSP courses offered throughout the one-year period. By providing much needed parent education to teen parents, Boys Town and Impact One will collaboratively impact the problem of teen parents not possessing effective and appropriate parenting skills. Common Sense Parenting allows parents to learn and practice new parenting skills in a neutral setting which increases the likelihood they will use the skills with their children. Professionally trained Boys Town parent trainers provide instruction, consultation and support. Program components involve videotape modeling, role-playing, feedback and review. Homework is discussed during the review portion of subsequent class sessions, giving parents the opportunity to learn from one another. Common Sense Parenting® session are: Session 1: How I grow and learn. Parents learn about child development, with expectations based on their child's development, and find different ways to nurture their child. Session 2: My first teachers. Parents learn to teach children right from wrong, using clear communication and reasonable positive and negative consequences. Session 3: Catch me being good. Parents learn to observe and create more opportunities to encourage their children's good behavior through praise, attention and affection. Session 4: Teach me what to do. Parents learn effective ways to teach young children better habits through practice. Session 5: Help me do what's right. Parents learn how to correct problem behaviors without the power struggle. Session 6: Kelp me calm down. Parents learn how to correct problem behaviors and give children the time and skills needed to calm 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 50 of 6 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application down. Session 7: Putting It All Together. Parents are helped to develop a parenting style based on the information they have learned in class, including combing the new skills with the positive skills they already had, to improve relationships with their children. The Parenting Children and Adolescents Scale and the Parental Stress skill will be administered to all teens pre/post. CSP also measures success through surveys administered upon program completion. At the end of each class parents must also role-play the new skills taught and meet criteria in order to receive a certificate of completion. Heartland Family Service Heartland Family Service is requesting funding to support its Victim Empathy Program (VEP), a restorative justice-based education and Victim Offender Meeting program that allow youth offenders to truly understand the repercussions of their actions, thereby preventing further criminal involvement. Youth Recruitment—Youth are referred into the VEP from the Douglas County Juvenile Assessment Center, Probation, the courts, schools or child welfare services. Activities—VEP prevents youth from reoffending via two tracks of involvement. Track One: The VEP classes (three or six weeks in length, depending upon the severity of the crime and youth's prior involvement) utilize the NCJJ evidence-based curriculum"Victim/Community Awareness"by Valerie R. Bender. Youth meet with an instructor weekly to discuss a variety of topics including peer pressure, bullying, intimate partner violence, victim awareness and community harm and repair. Youth also receive information about the consequences of gang involvement. The conclusion of each class is a community service project aimed to repair the harm of the youths' crimes. Track Two: Should a youth's victim choose to participate, the VEP arranges a professionally facilitated Victim Offender Meeting (VOM). VOM is a well-known restorative conflict resolution process that actively involves the victim and the offender in an effort to repair the emotional and material harm caused by a crime. Participants get to discuss the offense, answer their questions, express their feelings, and move toward restoration and healing. VOM presents an opportunity for the victim and offender to develop mutually acceptable restoration plans. Trained and certified mediators from Concord Center assist the victim,the youth and his family in pre-VOM work, the VOM meeting and the creation of a VOM contract that identifies possible repairs for the harm. Discharge— Youth successfully complete Track One if they attend all of the VEP classes and complete their community service project. Youth successfully complete Track Two if they go through pre-VOM services, attend the VOM and execute a VOM contract. Impact—Under OVP funding for 2011-2012, The Heartland Family Service Victim Empathy Program served 189 youth with 188 (99%) youth successfully completing the program and 90% (166 of 185) of youth remaining crime free 6 months after completion of class.

The Director of Community-Based Initiatives is responsible for all FPS training. The annual cost for training for two FPS workers is $10,000. The annual cost of concrete services for two FPS workers is $5,000. For the purposes of this grant we are requesting $15,000 for these costs. Reimbursement for services from DHIIS and Probation covers the salaries for the two FPS workers in this project. New Life Family Alliance Each quarter New Life Family Alliance will send out a newsletter to Sudanese families with an informative list of services offered in the community to Sudanese families. The newsletter mail list will consist of Sudanese community leaders known to New Life Family Alliance, names and addresses gained from networking with these leaders, contacts with youth and families through the Douglas County Youth Center, Sudanese families currently involved in the Talon Basketball Club, and name searches using InfoUSA. Legal advocacy will help Sudanese families overcome language and cultural barriers that cause difficulties in navigating the legal system. New Life Family Alliance would connect Sudanese families with an attorney that could speak with public defenders, court appointed individuals, case workers and probation officers and then help the family to understand how and what to do to address the legal 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 52 of61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention strategy Phase#4 Grant Application system. New Life Family Alliance could help the legal system by lining up interpreters and preparing the family to effectively complete tasks requested of them. Providing the Talon Basketball program for boys and volleyball program for girls will offer Sudanese youth a positive alternative to violence and gang lifestyle. Impact One Community Connection (Impact One) Impact One has established a multifaceted strategy that provides comprehensive services for gang- involved individuals. The Street Team, comprised of four (4) individuals, gathers information from gang members and community residents (regarding activity within the community), Omaha Police Department Gang Unit to ensure the most critical gang members are identified and approached to join Game Changers. This enables Impact One to strategically address gang violence, other crimes, and social issues within the community. This information enables Impact One to intervene in gang conflicts before they escalate. Impact One's focus is violence intervention and prevention. Within the targeted area, the root of most violent crime is usually linked to some type of gang activity. The primary audience for the Game Changers gang intervention program is adult men and woman, ages 17-30, with a strong emphasis on recruiting young men and women ages 18-24. Impact One's Game Changer Intervention Program's strategy includes partnering with numerous agencies and entities to provide supportive services to meet the identified needs of participants. The focus of the program involves direct gang intervention and prevention, crisis and emergency response, court assistance, educational support, and employability skill building and placement. The Street Outreach Specialists work hand-in-hand in direct community outreach and the entire team convenes throughout the week to discuss current issues in the streets and create a strategy to address any issues. The primary mode of working directly with Game Changers participants is through the use of Individual Development Plans. Intervention Specialists work with gang-involved and at-risk youth, primarily at school locations,to facilitate high-intensity intervention and prevention services focused on education and employability. Impact One communicates daily with Game Changer participants to achieve goals identified in their Individual Development Plans. 1/17/14 City of Omaha,Nebraska Page 53 of 61 NE Crime Commission Office of Violence Prevention—Omaha Violence Prevention Strategy Phase#4 Grant Application Activity/Timeline: Position/A'enc Activi Res 8 onsible For City of Omaha Facilitate quarterly evaluation meetings,complete quarterly progress reports,and file uarterl financial statement.
