The City funded a $25,000 contract with some member organizations of the Youth Consortium in the 2018 budget. Consistent with the 2020 Endorsed Budget, there was not funding included in the 2020 Proposed Budget for this purpose. (2) A contract with a community-based organization such as Creative Justice to fund an arts-based alternative to secure detention for young people in Seattle. Creative Justice provides twice-weekly sessions over a three- to four-month period for youth referred to the program. In that time period, youth work with a mentor on a unique project. In exchange for their work, Creative Justice youth receive community service credit and stipends that help pay court fines. Program participation is considered as mitigation in cases filed with King County Juvenile Court. (3) A contract supporting youth outreach services with a community-based organization such as the Rainier Beach Action Coalition’s Corner Greeters program. The program is a non-arrest crime reduction safety project that is led by community members. This project focuses on transforming spaces that are most prevalent for youth crime by employing youth from the neighborhood to create engaging events with food, music, and information about local resources. Background: The 2020 Proposed Budget includes $1.8 million GF for Youth Development and Education contracts. The Chair's Balancing Package includes CBA CJ-62-C-1 which appropriates $300,000 in one-time funds for this purpose. This action increases the total funding for Youth Development and Education contracts to $2.3 million, an increase of 29.5 percent over the 2020 Proposed Budget.
