Kelly Pethke, Administrator for Children, Youth, and Family Services, said the grant totals $2,000,000 over three years and began Oct. 1. \"All of these contracts that are in this board report are funded 100% through a $2,000,000 grant that CYFS was recently granted,\" she said. The grant period runs through Sept. 30, 2027, and the report breaks down how funds will be allocated among partners.

Pethke described the contracts: a purchase-of-service agreement with Milwaukee Christian Center for up to $1,011,284 to implement the program; a professional services agreement with the Medical College of Wisconsin for $172,922 to serve as research partner and produce a needs assessment and strategic plan; a $60,000 professional services agreement with Dr. Jason Corburn for data and program evaluation; and a $120,000 purchase-of-service contract with Advance Peace to provide training, coaching and technical assistance.

\"This is a national model that really targets those individuals that are at the the root of gun violence in an urban community,\" Pethke said, describing Advance Peace's focus on people involved in gun violence and the fellowship structure. The program will run two cohorts, each up to 18 months, working with individuals identified as high risk for involvement in gun violence.

Deputy Director David Mohammed said the County selected the Advanced Peace model because evaluations in other cities have shown measurable reductions in homicides and nonfatal shootings. \"We saw upwards of 20% or more reductions in homicides and nonfatal shootings,\" he said, citing results from Stockton and Richmond among other jurisdictions. Later in the discussion he said preliminary 2024 figures provided by the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Milwaukee Police Department show \"upwards of a 20% reduction in incidents, particularly from victims 0 to 17,\" and a \"51% reduction in youth suspects.\"

Supervisor Martin urged continued attention to alternatives to incarceration and cited county dashboard figures on youth placements outside the county. \"For yesterday alone, we spent over $48,000 to just house those youth, approximately,\" he said, adding that such expenses underline the case for investing in prevention and credible-messenger programs.

The report was presented for information and has been referred to the County Finance Committee. No contract approvals occurred at this meeting; staff said formal authorizations will follow the Finance Committee review as required by the size and multiyear nature of the agreements.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Milwaukee County - Committee on Health Equity, Human Needs and Strategic Planning on 2025-03-07 3:00 PM - HYBRID MEETINGThis meeting will be held in Room 203-R, and will be live-streamed on the County Legislative Information Center: https://milwaukeecounty.legistar.com/Cal - Mar 07, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Milwaukee County staff briefed the committee on a $2 million, three-year Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative grant to fund an Advanced Peace fellowship and related contracts with Milwaukee Christian Center, Advanced Peace, Medical College of Wisconsin and Dr. Jason Corburn to implement and evaluate the program.","taxTitle","Milwaukee County, Wisconsin","taxId",2736,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6646919,"Committee hears report on $500,000 fiscal-agent contract to speed housing moves from encampments",580,108000,688000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2525844-5d8984daf11ec958c81796ddd9fcb3e6&start=108&end=688","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2525844-5d8984daf11ec958c81796ddd9fcb3e6/thumbnail_108000.jpg","/articles/6646919/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/Committee-hears-report-on-500000-fiscal-agent-contract-to-speed-housing-moves-from-encampments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6646919-38b5ff8cc3735949e9de00aa80c59465/orig.mp4?Expires=1771083060&Signature=bSjQ6gnNUfDdvZjhbL3Kh02P1L3BrASZvccAOPZXBp3F7a2W1416Sysw~ynExuZRukkBcODpBtjrIm77gefEBIQZMN~P8A6tp8SVHi4qBTaU6bD18Si2H-dDXNnWkCm~2VK~zEzblCCkRL~rJw7Ej~oBhdHlf8j2UmbXFFX2R0HePs4Sm4L0hl75EmoNG9WpAECTihanPTJ79ZzdTXqDtZ-lVXyyHsyFpk0dExLJuVMTpnrygeuefGJhPWodBMlXbMGr0QupBQQnDLSd5lPoz7UHZGH2XLgX5MyLwVb0TOSfjR-eZnlBdqK7f36vE6AkXTqN~5VcW33AyunfuKHc-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Milwaukee County Committee on Health Equity, Human Needs and Strategic Planning on an informational report sought authorization to enter a fiscal-agent contract with Community Advocates to manage $500,000 in flexible housing funds intended to help people move from encampments into permanent housing.

The funding, introduced as 2025 Adopted Budget Amendment 16 by Supervisor Rolland, was described by county staff as money to cover security deposits, short-term rental assistance, furniture and household starter kits to expedite move-ins. Administrator Matthew (presenting for the Department of Health and Human Services) said the funds will prevent the typical three- to four-week delay that occurs when staff must find those items in the community.

\"These funds are critically important to the work that we do,\" Administrator Matthew said. \"They allow our street outreach workers and housing navigators to quickly utilize security deposits, short term rental assistance, furniture items, household starter kits to expedite the move in from the street into an apartment.\"

Eric Collins Dyke, deputy director from housing, described operational benefits of paying a fiscal agent in advance. \"Sometimes a 24 hour turnaround when someone is trying to access their apartment from their encampment,\" he said, noting Community Advocates has partnered with the county for years and can issue staff checks quickly to meet urgent needs.

Committee members praised the work. Supervisor Martin said he had participated in ride-alongs with outreach teams and voiced support for the funding. Supervisor Benson asked whether the $500,000 would be built into future budgets; Administrator Matthew replied that the amount came through as a budget amendment and that inclusion in future budgets will depend on county budget priorities and the administration's recommendations.

The committee treated the item as informational. Committee staff noted the item will be considered by the County Finance Committee for formal action because of the proposed contract value. No vote or formal authorization occurred at this meeting.

The committee adjourned to its next scheduled meeting; the fiscal-agent contract and the underlying budget amendment will appear before the Finance Committee for any required approvals.","Milwaukee County committee reviewed an informational report on authorizing a fiscal-agent contract with Community Advocates to administer $500,000 in flexible housing funds intended to speed moves from encampments into apartments; the item was informational and will proceed to the Finance Committee for action because of contract size.","actionData","errors"]
