8.3 24-0708

Joint resolution authorizing the emergency appropriation of the Lake County Children’s Advocacy Center (LCCAC) program funding, awarded by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) through the Children’s Advocacy Center of Illinois in the amount of $331,269.86 for previously awarded and appropriated funds and an additional new grant amount.

• In July 2023, the LCCAC was awarded funding by DCFS in the amount of $571,799, and a resolution was passed by the County Board on August 8, 2023, including an emergency appropriation of $483,122.

• The grant period is July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024.

• The carryover of unused appropriated grant funds from Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 to FY2024 budget did not occur so this emergency appropriation makes it possible to spend the funds remaining at the end of FY 2023.

• Additionally, after the initial funding was awarded, DCFS provided the LCCAC with a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) increase in the amount of $24,541.84.

• This resolution appropriates $331,269.86, which would provide the appropriate budget remaining as of the end of FY 2023 as well as the COLA increase to execute the grant programming.

8.4 24-0722

Joint resolution authorizing the acceptance, and emergency appropriation of $50,000 in additional funding for the Violence Interruption Program Grant that is administered through the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA).

• This Violence Interruption Program grant provides funding for the State’s Attorney’s Office Gun Violence Prevention Initiative (GVPI).

• The purpose of the GVPI is to work with community-based organizations to identify and hire violence interrupters who will work to reduce gun violence, specifically in Waukegan, North Chicago, and Zion and to provide opportunities for the most at-risk in our communities.

• The additional funding of $50,000 will be allocated to our current subgrantee, Waukegan Township, to continue providing contractual services such as violence interrupters and case management.

• The grant is administered through ICJIA with an extended performance period through June 30, 2025.

• The source of program funding is 100 percent federal funding; no County funds are required.

• If funding for this program ends, and new funding is not secured, the program and staff will be eliminated.
