About Mother-Child Programs The Mother-Child Community Corrections Project has prepared this Resource Directory for program managers, agencies and individuals who are involved in planning, developing and implementing programs that serve mothers who have been under criminal-justice supervision--or diverted from the justice system-- and their children. These programs often are called mother-child community corrections programs, although local programs are known by many other names as well. They may be halfway houses, shelter plus aftercare, drug or mental health treatment facilities and women's health initiatives. Such programs are most often multi-disciplinary efforts that combine criminal justice supervision or diversion from prison with an array of services. These include health, education, and social services; substance abuse programs; job training and counseling; family- and child-support services; and other existing community resources. Such programs generally include a variety of government agencies as well as private non-profit, religious and community organizations. Why we assembled this directory This piece aims to serve nearly a million American women who are currently under criminal justice supervision, their young children, and the agencies that serve them. In 1998, the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that there were more than 951,000 women under supervision. (Lawrence Greenfield and Tracy Snell, Women Offenders, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Washington, DC, December 1999, Revised 10/3/2000, NCJ 175688). Through research, interviews, and contact with programs and professionals in the field, the Mother Child Community Corrections Project team identified funding, technical assistance and training resources as top priorities. Those interviewed and providing information identified a need to know more about assistance available from non-criminal justice areas, such as child development, health care and legal sources. This directory gathers many sources of assistance in one place. What do we know about existing mother-child programs? Many different programs serve exclusively female offenders and their children. None are identical, although many contain common goals, components, and techniques. Several began as extensions of visitation or prison-nursery programs. Some developed in halfway houses or in alternative sentencing-diversion programs for women who would be confined for less than a year. Others grew out of probation or parole programs. More recently, programs that reach out to substance-abusing women have operated in conjunction with district attorney's offices, drug courts, community substance abuse treatment, mental health, and other social service providers. In other instances, churches and religious organizations developed services for these mothers and their children. MCCC programs are not without significant problems. There is a dearth of research about the effectiveness of such programs. Some efforts have been short-lived, and many have experienced disruptions in management and financial backing. A few exist hand-to-mouth, struggle to meet payrolls and live up to local and state standards. Still, the reported results are promising, and most home communities remain committed to the programs' success. This directory was developed for the following purposes: o To encourage those interested in mother-child programs to learn more about available resources and assistance; o To acquaint readers with the variety of resources available across the social service, health, education and criminal justice domains related to mother-child programs; o to familiarize users with various alternative strategies for using available resources to develop effective programs; o to help mother-child projects identify approaches in the various domains that are emerging as best practices and to gain access to assessment, evaluation, research and educational materials to help their programs become more effective. The Mother-Child Community Corrections Resource Directory identifies selected resources to help program planners access tools, materials and funding to improve their services. Some of these serve correctional managers and providers; some are geared to child-development experts and parents; still others operate in the area of health, drug treatment, employment, and business development. Some are advocacy groups; others are educational, research, governmental or civic organizations with targeted audiences. Scope of the problem There are a variety of correctional programs struggling to address public safety and the needs of women under criminal justice supervision and their young children who live in America's communities. In total, about one million females are under some kind of criminal justice supervision--but more than 85 percent are in the community, under local supervision and the remaining 15% were in prison or jails. (Greenfield and Snell) BJS estimated that 72% of women under supervision in the community have minor children. (Greenfield and Snell) According to BJS, there were nearly 1.49 million children of offenders in 1999. (Christopher Mumola, Incarcerated Parents and Their Children, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Washington D.C. August 2000, NCJ 182335). We know that 1.5 million children under age 18 are affected presently and this number does not include children of offenders who are diverted into drug treatment or other alternatives to probation or incarceration. More than 333,300 households with minor children had an imprisoned parent in 1999, (Mumola, 2000). If probation and parole numbers were included, this number would approach one million households. There were fewer households than parents affected by incarceration because many of those imprisoned did not live with their children prior to incarceration. The number of young women under 21 involved in the adult justice system is growing faster than any other segment of the population. The rate of juvenile female arrest was almost twice that of adult females. (Greenfield and Snell, 1999.) Many of these adolescent females have young children and face the loss of custody, visitation rights, and even parental rights. What are demographic characteristics of women in the criminal justice system? The Bureau of Justice Statistics estimates that at least 11 out of every 1,000 American women will spend time in prison at some point in their lives. (Thomas P. Bonczar and Allen J. Beck, Lifetime Likelihood of going to State or Federal Prison, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Washington, DC, (NCJ-160092). In fact, most of the recent growth in female prison populations can be traced to the increased confinement of Black and Hispanic women. An African-American female is three times more likely to receive a prison sentence than her Caucasian counterpart. (This is about the same likelihood of imprisonment as a white male.) Hispanic women have a 15 in 1,000 chance of imprisonment during their lives. (Greenfield and Snell) What has been documented about females who are arrested, incarcerated or on probation or parole? BJS reported the rate of convicted females grew by 2.5 times between 1990 and 1996. (Greenfield and Snell) Half of the increase in female offenders in recent years has been due to drug offenses. One fifth of the rise is due to violent crimes. However, 75 percent of violent offences committed by women were crimes of simple assault--most frequently their victims were a relative or intimate. Half of all women interviewed admitted to being under the influence of drugs or alcohol when they committed their crime. Half of women in prison have family members with a history of confinement. One sixth of all incarcerated women were placed in foster homes or youth residential facilities when they were young. Many were homeless within the year prior to their arrests. What statistics raise concern about female offenders and their children? By the year 2000, more than 1.5 million children had mothers confined in prison or jail, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. (Greenfield and Snell) The number of women under correctional supervision continues to grow faster than at any other time in the nation's history. During the 1990's the number of women in prison who were parents of minors more than doubled. (Kathleen Maguire and Ann Pastore, Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics Online, http//www.Albany.edu/sourcebook/1995/pdf/t60005.pdf). There are now over 126,000 children of women state and federal prisoners, and it is estimated that nearly as many children have a mother in a local jail. For most of these children, the mother was the primary caretaker. (Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics). The research indicates that disruption of the mother-child bond can adversely affect the child and also impair the mother's chances for rehabilitation. ) Jacy Showers "Assessing and Remedying Parenting Knowledge among Women Inmates." Journal of Offender Rehabilitation 20 1993 pp 35-46; A. Lowenstein "Temporary Single Parenthood: The Case of Prisoner's Families" Family Relations 36, pp79-85 (1986). What type of criminal justice interventions frequently impact children? In 1998, over 3 million women were involved in an arrest. (Greenfield and Snell, supra). Arrested women are more likely than men to have minor dependents. At least one in every five children witnesses a parent's arrest. Johnston, Denise, "The Care and Placement of Prisoners' Children," in K. Gabel and D. Johnston, Eds. Children of Incarcerated Parents, New York, Lexington Books, 1995 (pp 103-123). Applied to recent statistics, it is estimated that more than 600,000 children witness a mother's arrest each year. Arrest of a parent may only be the beginning of a series of interventions impacting children. Trauma research indicates that children face emotional challenges and feelings of guilt when their mothers become involved in the criminal justice system. (See Johnston, Denise, "Report No. 6 Children of Offenders." The Center for Children of Incarcerated Parents, Pasadena, Ca. 1992) The impact on the child is more devastating if the arrest causes the child to lose a primary caregiver, change housing or schools, or experience other environmental disruptions. (Johnston, Denise, "Child Custody Issues of Women Prisoners: A Preliminary Report form the CHICAS Project." The Prison Journal 75:222-39 1995). This type of situation occurs with offenders of both genders, but is more often experienced by the children of female offenders. For men involved in the justice system, their wives or partners are most likely to become custodial parents during their period of supervision. For women involved in the justice system, they often give custody to their parents or extended family members. If facing long periods of incarceration, children often change caregivers during their mother's sentence. (Mumola, 1999). What are the risks to children whose parents are under correctional supervision? Direct physical and emotional harm can occur when a parent is incarcerated and a child loses support and benefits that would otherwise have been available. Barbara Bloom and David Steinhart Why Punish the Children?: A Reappraisal of the Children of Incarcerated Mothers in America. Washington D.C. National Council on Crime and Delinquency, 1993, and Denise Johnston. "The Effects of Parental Incarceration" in Children of Incarcerated Parents, Katherine Gabel and Denise Johnston, eds. Pp 59-88, New York: Lexington Books. 1995.Children of incarcerated parents are more likely to experience behavioral or learning problems in school (A. Lowenstein, Temporary Single Parenthood: The Case of Prisoners Families, Family Relations 1986, 36,79-85; Ann Stanton When Mothers Go To Jail. 1980. Lexington, MA: Lexington Books; "Cycles of Pain: Risk Factors in the Lives of Incarcerated Mothers and Their Children, The Prison Journal, Philadelphia, March 2000 Susan Green, Craig Haney, Aida Hurtado. This is often related to the lack of stable and permanent child placement, disruption of family ties and visitation, inadequate nutrition, lack of access to health care, and chronic poverty. Researchers report that children of offenders often experience or witness trauma or violence at home in a way similar to that of their mothers. Over 70% of offender mothers report their children have witnessed violence at home, and over half reported that their children had witnessed excessive drunkenness or use of drugs in their home. (Green, Haney and Hurtado). The institutions that serve children are not fully prepared to address the mother's involvement in the justice system and its impact on her children. For example, most foster care agencies do not have protocols ensuring children of incarcerated parents the ability to maintain contact with their parent through phone calls or visits. (Lois Wright and Cynthia Seymour, Working with Children and Families Separated by Incarceration, Child Welfare League of America Press, Washington, DC 2000.) How can professionals and others help children of parents who are involved in the justice system? Caregivers, families and probation/parole officers can improve parent-child bonds whenever possible. Schools, social services, and health-care professionals team up to protect such children. Mother-Child services bring together many disciplines to help improve the lives of children whose parents are under supervision. These programs aim to assure that the children of offenders will not fall through the cracks in the justice system, and that difficult issues of child custody, health and welfare will be attended to by both family and professionals. Law enforcement officers and other criminal justice professionals need access to training and assistance to handle the arrest of parents and reduce the trauma to their children. Child welfare workers and correctional professionals cross-train with staff to specialize in cases where the criminal justice system is involved. (See Wright and Seymour) About the Guide This Directory was prepared by the Mother-Child Community Corrections Project to guide those who are seeking technical assistance in finding additional resources to support their projects. The Mother-Child Community Corrections Project (MCCCP) operates an information and technical assistance resource center under the sponsorship of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), United States Department of Justice. The project is funded through July 15, 2001, through two cooperative agreement awards to the Center for Effective Public Policy (CEPP), and the International Community Corrections Association, for a coordinated effort. This project was assisted by the National Institute of Corrections Community Corrections Branch and the National Institute of Corrections Information Center. The National Criminal Justice Reference Service has also aided this project's work. Background about the MCCC Project The project grew out of needs expressed by participants at a Conference, sponsored by the International Community Corrections Association in Arlington VA, in 1998, (see Assessment to Assistance: Programs for Women in Community Corrections, McMahon, Maeve, Ed, American Correctional Association, Lanham MD. ISBN 1-56991-124-X. 2000) and the Office of Justice Programs Symposium on Women Offenders, December, 1999 (See Office of Justice Programs Conference Proceedings National Symposium on Women Offenders, Washington D.C. December 13-15, 1999, U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, 2000. The leadership of a number of other national associations has recognized the need for these programs. They include the American Bar Association, the American Correctional Association, and the National Association of Women Judges. Many organizations have focused on comprehensive programs known as "wraparound programs" for female offenders and their children. The programs serve a range of needs and involve multi-disciplinary teams. The teams include health and mental health, social work, education, criminal justice, legal, child welfare, housing and other agencies to provide a range of appropriate services. They have identified a need for agencies to assist in developing strategies that work. Planning for programs and securing resources is a first-step toward developing comprehensive mother-child programs. About our mission The Mother-Child Project's goal is to improve public safety by supporting the development of criminal justice responses to female offenders that take into account and provide support for their roles as mothers and primary caretakers of children and to support further the healthy development of their children. By supporting families and individual family members in their ability to be both healthy and stable, these responses will work to prevent future criminal justice involvement of both parent and child. The Project is designed to meet the following needs of mother-child programs: o to collect documentation of current knowledge of mother-child community corrections programs; o to provide for practitioners who are starting or improving their efforts a centralized source of information on programs serving female offenders with children; o to identify a source of information about the many different issues surrounding these programs for policymakers and other non criminal justice professionals; o to make available training and technical assistance on the design and delivery of services to women offenders with children. About the National Resource Group The National Resource Group (NRG) is a thirty-five person advisory group comprising experts in the fields of research, criminal justice, child development, law, community development, and several federal agencies. The NRG met in June 2000, and reached consensus on four broad priorities given the Project funds available. The priorities identified are: o information gathering and dissemination; o networking and outreach; o technical assistance; and o public education. The MCCC project has applied the recommendations of the National Resource Group through tasks and services listed below. ---------------------------- o MCCC web page http://www.nicic.org/services/special/women/mcccp/default.htm The web page was designed to house the technical assistance and resource documents already collected by the Project, and others to be developed in the future. The website provides links to other existing resources, including a database currently in development at the Center. o MCCC technical assistance The Center provides limited technical assistance to developing programs through meetings, site visits, and resource sharing. The Center has identified new and planned programs and has provided technical assistance and opportunities to link with peers in other programs. o MCCC resource documents for the field We continue to develop resource documents that provide basic "how-to" information for those persons considering a mother-child program. This Resource Directory is among the documentation provided. Also included are: a program inventory, case studies of selected programs, lists of key contacts and technical assistance providers, and emerging best practice information. o MCCC examples of public education materials Another area has been to develop public education materials to include points of information, discussion items, editorials and fact sheets. They can be used to assist programs in informing local media and policymakers about mother-child programs. ---------------------------- How to read this guide This guide is an introduction to the many types of funding streams, research, technical assistance, information networks, peer groups, advocates and other support for mother-child projects. It is offered to acquaint the reader with possibilities for enhancing their programs and to access colleagues in the field. It does not offer an exhaustive list of resources, and readers should be aware that the sources may change addresses and that websites may disappear and change. New opportunities, when they are identified, will be added. How is this guide organized? This guide is organized topically. It includes parts covering both public and private groups within each of the identified domains of mother-child programming. They include references to: 1) Learning About General Resources; 2) Child and Parent Development; 3) Gender, Cultural, and Ethnic Resources; 4) Education; 5) Employment; 6) Health and Human Services; 7) Housing; 8) The Justice System; 9) Policy, Research and Evaluation; and 10) Foundation Funding. For sub-topics, the names of contacts are organized alphabetically. As new topics are developed other references will be added. As this field grows, the resources also will grow. What criteria have been used to include resources? The resources and contacts in this piece were selected based on relevance to programs serving both female offenders and their children. The funding resources may provide assistance to existing programs. Some recently published solicitations that could be addressed by mother-child applicants. Others are considering how to address this field, but have not published funding solicitations. The technical assistance resources have information or training expertise in one or more of the nine topical areas of the guide's chapters. The Research resources fund or publish program evaluations related to the field. Research resources may also provide technical assistance in program assessment, and evaluation design. Because of the need to cover each subject, the chapters list resources that overlap and may be somewhat repetitive. For example, the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs may have assistance or funding related to several topical areas. Although there are very few funding resources exclusively serving female offenders and their children, those selected for this guide offer potential for developing wrap-around services. Resources were also selected if they were the primary source of funding or expertise in a given area, even though they may have limited programs at this time. For example, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides assistance for homeless families and persons with disabilities and it does not specifically target female offenders and their children for resources. When approaching potential grantors or providers of technical assistance, program planners should be aware that they must be persistent and creative because there are very few earmarked funding streams. They may have to overcome stigmatization issues, eligibility exclusion issues and persuade agencies of the importance of their work. Where can planners look for additional information? The Resource guide is intended to be used with a companion piece entitled: Building Mother-Child Community Corrections Programs, by Mary K. Shilton that provides an overview of how to get programs started and funded. Resources for Mother-Child Community Corrections covers national and regional resources available to build and strengthen mother-child services. The most accessible and available resources are through local, regional and state sources. Private local foundations are often more interested in projects in their own localities. Local governments may have human services and educational resources available for program support and states may be very helpful in identifying their resources for building programs. The information compiled in this guide has been extracted from various websites, agencies and organizations. It is meant to start practitioners on the journey toward improved programs for female offenders and their children. The journey ahead for each program is filled with obstacles and rewards. It is therefore important for the traveler on this path to keep track of progress and a keen eye on the road ahead. With persistence and creativity, programs will grow and fulfill their promise of improving public safety while enhancing the development of children and helping mothers reintegrate into their communities. ---------------------------- II. About Resources Governmental and private-sector resources provide a range of opportunities for mother-child programs, although few programs are funded in a systematic or categorical way. In addition to grants and funding, program developers can acquire surplus property, locate technical and business-development assistance and training, network with others in the field and gain access to research and evaluation tools. Where does the reader start in finding resources? Any search for resources is driven by what is needed in a particular program. An interdisciplinary task force or interagency working group is helpful to identify existing program resources and to conduct a needs assessment for new ones. This often results in a search for a site to provide a safe and secure living environment. Perhaps substance abuse treatment is unavailable and they need funding to start a treatment program, then the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration at the Department of Health and Human Services is an important agency to contact. If criminal justice agency training and assistance is needed, the Office of Justice Programs and the Department of Justice would be a likely contact. This book is written by topic, so that several persons working as a team can explore resources in each of several areas, and they can report their findings back to an interdisciplinary working group. What is most important in looking for resources? Initially, planning, coordination and technical assistance are important for getting new programs started--but then it is important to move ahead to implementation. Most program developers value flexibility and lack of red tape in getting resources. The prospect of long term funding and planned program stability is identified as a priority for most agencies. Most start-up grants from federal sources and private foundations do not offer funding beyond three years. From the beginning, there must be a plan to collect data and information and work with state and local agencies toward long term funding. Long term funding is attainable when programs are integrated with community agencies. So partnering with potential long-term funders (state and local agencies with appropriated funding in this area) is a priority for most programs. About the Key Federal Agencies Where can one find funding resources for mother-child programs? There are very few federal programs with funding earmarked for children of offenders or female offenders in the community. Most existing programs have received some assistance through governmental resources at the state and local level such as community corrections acts or substance abuse and mental health block grants. Such governmental resources are publicly supported activities offered through grants or cooperative agreements by localities (cities, municipalities and counties) and states. Which agencies are most critical to the work of mother-child programs? Some agencies such as the U.S. Department of Justice have taken an interest in this field and others are newly assessing how they can assist female offenders in the community. Some may be poised for action and others need to be persuaded that they can contribute to program success. The following are examples of recent developments in this field that program planners should find helpful. o The Department of Justice has taken an interest in the mother-child field by supporting the effort of this Mother-Child Community Corrections Project, and through other efforts at the National Institute of Justice, National Institute of Corrections, and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. o Most of the federal support for child development, health and social services is available through the Department of Health and Human Services and its many branches that fund discretionary, block and categorical programs, research and technical assistance. o Assistance for employment and welfare-to-work programs is available through the Department of Labor, particularly the Employment and Training Administration. o The Department of Agriculture, through its Extension Service, offers a variety of informational programs on nutrition, child development and parent education as well as subsidies and grants in these areas. o The Department of Education has a wide array of assistance programs for schools and at-risk youth as well as education assistance for Pell Grants and education for mothers. These may be tapped through existing community providers or special programs for young children and their mothers. o The Department of Housing and Urban Development has programs that fund transitional housing, housing for homeless, and housing-plus care for special populations. Basic research and contact information for each of these agencies is in the accompanying table. The letters "TA" indicate technical assistance and "Re" indicate the availability of research or ongoing research.. A dollar sign ($) indicates potential funding for program, education, housing, or employment activities. These categories can change each year, so inquiry should be made through a website search and by calling agency contacts with questions. Most agency websites include e-mail contact addresses for quick responses on an inquiry. ---------------------------- U.S. Department of Agriculture--$, TA The department's Cooperative Extension Service program, CYFERNET, focuses on meeting the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual needs of children and families.

Through internet sites with links to state and local justice information, program planners can access the various possibilities for program assistance. A few of the helpful sources related to state and local interests include the following contacts. Funding for mother-child programs can come through community corrections act funding at the state level as it does in Indiana and Minnesota. In North Carolina the state Human Services appropriation contains a line item for mother-child funding to local programs. In California, program funding has been available through a diversion program authorized by the state legislature. State or regional contacts for community corrections funding or website references for other agencies are listed in the topical sections. ---------------------------- Council of State Governments provides information, research and analysis of state laws, trends and criminal justice system developments.

State and Local Government on the Web http://www.lib.umich.edu/libhome/Documents.center/state.html ---------------------------- About Public and Private Resources Federal government efforts in these areas increasingly have involved universities, non-profit associations and other technical assistance providers in developing networks and consortia. Consequently, the line between public and private resources has blurred somewhat and many of the programs described herein are a blend of the two spheres. Additionally, many of the programs are block grants that go to states and localities through formulas or by other criteria. They generally are administered at the state and local levels through designated contacts. Such grants usually require matching funds. Most grant program web sites post phone numbers for obtaining a list of state contacts with respect to a particular program. About Publications What publications are available? There are a variety of print and online documents that provide information about governmental funding.

Resources for Child and Parent Development This chapter is an introduction to public, educational and private resources related to child development and parenting. Such resources include: 1. statistical information, useful in writing grants, proposals and analyzing problems; 2. technical assistance networks and training providers; 3. funding information concerning grants and other support; 4. information exchanges and networks; 5. advocacy; and 6. services, experts, curricula and training available. Because most mother-child programs start with services to the mother and expand them to their children, accessing children's resources can be more elusive for new programs than getting assistance for adult community correctional services for the parent. Grant and proposal guidelines require writers to show an understanding of the problems affecting offender mothers and their children such as the following questions. Why focus on both the child and the mother? Research indicates that parental involvement as an advocate in the child's upbringing, education and development, is one of the strongest predictors of resiliency of the child. It has long been recognized that children benefit from having a healthy and continued relationship with their mother whether or not the mother is the custodial parent. Under the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 (ASFA) P.L.105-89 safety, reunification with the parent, and permanency of child custody are primary goals. ASFA accelerates time frames for reunifying an offender mother with her children at the same time that the parent may have been separated from her child due to incarceration. (see Philip Genty, " Permanency Planning in the Context of Parental Incarceration: Legal Issues and Recommendations," Child Welfare, September/October 1998, 543- 559; and Ann Metcalf Craig "Meeting the Needs of Children of Incarcerated Parents," Child Law Practice, August, 1998, American Bar Association's Center on Children and the Law.) Research indicates that women under criminal justice supervision have the same concerns, desires and affection for their children as others. The challenge is that by virtue of breaking the law, they have potentially interrupted their ability to parent, retain custody and intervene as the primary figure in the upbringing of their children. Obviously, such difficulties make it harder to maintain family bonds and the children suffer trauma as a consequence. Avoiding child trauma is an important issue to consider in designing programs. Grants should address the fact that the level of parenting skills of offender mothers may vary considerably. Many of them may have come from unstable family environments, lived in group or foster homes and experienced a tumultuous upbringing. Improved parenting and cognitive skills provide the basis for single female parents to seek help. What can MCCC programs do to resolve difficult child and parent issues? Every aspect of the mother-child relationship should be considered when planning for mother-child programs. They range from pregnancy and post- partum arrangements to planning for visits and permanent placements for children who are not living with their mothers. It is important to create a safe and nurturing environment for families. Staff recruitment and training should consider parent skills, socialization skills, child development, nutrition, health and mental hygiene. Decisions on child care, parent supervision of their children, and staff involvement will be critical to program success. In the area of child development there are a number of support networks for both parents and professionals. These networks focus on specific techniques and skills, information sharing, advocacy, public policy and parent/professional support. Additionally there are groups that provide research, professional development, testing, planning and child services support in the development areas. Some of these are listed in the tables below. General Government and Educational Resources The United States Government has several agencies that provide assistance concerning child development issues. They include the U.S. Department of Justice, Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, Department of Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban Development. The Department of Justice offers a clearinghouse, library, statistics and grants related to prevention of juvenile delinquency through the Office of Justice Programs. Where can you get started at the Department of Education? The Department of Education's website provides research, funding, and publications with a focus on students, learning and education. A directory lists resources and services by topic. The research section has topics on at-risk students, children at risk, character education, civil rights, as well as guides for parents and consumers. The Student Financial Assistance section is helpful to mothers who need financial help. Under the Safe and Drug Free Schools Program, grants are awarded to schools and other programs that serve preschoolers and school age children. ---------------------------- The Department of Education--$, TA has an information and Consumers Branch known as OERI.

A few MCCC programs have developed their own preschool or day care. The following agencies provide information about early childhood development resources in their states. Among them are funding information concerning Head Start Programs, Public Preschools, and Project Even Start, and a new literacy program for families in poverty. Many of the sites have information about child nutrition programs, parent resources and educational assistance. In addition, the websites provide information about educational research, student demographics, testing, literacy, teachers, schools and state budgets. Program developers can find sources of information about accessing preschool, head start and other similar programs for young children. Many state Departments of Education are also important sources of information for elementary, secondary, special education and adult education programs discussed in Chapter 5. They highlight ways to access free or low-cost educational options, special assistance and federal funding coming through the state to localities, agencies and organizations.

Some programs provide in-house day care while the mothers are in treatment, education or work programs. Others arrange for childcare at local daycare centers, preschools or home providers. Programs that do not provide assistance with childcare or require the mother to have constant custody will not be flexible enough to meet mother-child needs. Providers can get information about childcare from a variety of sources. The following provide a wide variety of subjects, assistance and contacts.

Gender, Cultural and Ethnic Diversity Resources Focusing on Individual Characteristics This chapter discusses references related to female offenders, their families and their cultural traditions. A growing body of research indicates that gender and cultural influences play an important part in rehabilitation of female offenders and maintaining family bonds and community ties. This part lists public and private resources that include: 1) statistical information, useful in writing grants, proposals and analyzing problems; 2) technical assistance networks and training for providers; 3) funding opportunities; 4) networks and advocacy groups and 5) training, research and special curricula. Female and Gender Specific Government and Educational Resources Many programs start from substance abuse, but those are also male-based. Because most mother-child programs start with correctional services, they are based on research from males. Until recently the numbers of women in the criminal justice system were so low that it was difficult to study program effects on females. Similarly most existing programs are tested and designed based on the majority's cultural norms. With the number of women from diverse ethnic and cultural groups in the justice system increasing each year, it is important to remember that these programs may not work as well for differing cultural groups. The challenge is for mother-child programs to apply research- based principles that take into consideration gender and cultural differences. This challenge also applies to services for children; accessing children's resources can be more elusive for new programs than getting assistance for adult community correctional services for the parent. ---------------------------- Bibliography on Women, Crime and Justice--Re profiles a wide array of publications and sources that pertain to the development and education of women.

Educational Resources Mother-child programs help mothers acquire basic educational skills and a General Equivalency Degree as well as vocational training. Most agencies begin by looking for existing local organizations where women can get help with literacy and be prepared to take the GED test. There is usually an office or college that administers the GED test. Test results can take up to six weeks and obtaining the certificate upon passing can take longer. Some mother-child programs have also arranged for continuing or higher education for women at local and community colleges. Scholarships and other special programs for disadvantaged students can be accessed by actively engaging leaders at the college level. For Female Offenders and their Children With respect to vocational education, mother-child programs find that few of their residents have ever been given vocational training that equips them to procure and retain employment. Women need assistance in selecting what type of vocational training they should take. Some careers require licensing, and there may be additional requirements for an ex-offender to get an occupational license. A number of vocational training programs are available through employment training programs, apprenticeships, and employers. Mother-child programs should seek the assistance of workforce development professionals who specialize in offender job placement and training for specific assistance in their communities. Education for children often revolves around early childhood, head start, preschools and elementary school placements. Most programs need assistance with special education, learning disabilities and parent-child learning activities. Public and Educational Resources The following resources include governmental, education, non-profit and for- profit sources of funding, technical assistance, information, advocacy and curriculum. Training and staff development are also significant areas covered. ---------------------------- U.S. Department of Agriculture--$, TA, RE provides a wide array of educational support services.

Employment and Career Development Resources For Female Offenders In the Community Employment and career development resources are important for stabilizing female offenders and preventing their children from living in poverty. Most female offenders are marginally or under-employed and job retention is a serious problem. While mother-child programs can provide a range of services that include job readiness, individual skills assessment, education and vocational training, they also develop relationships with businesses and employers in the community to place women in work situations that are compatible with their abilities. In order for employers to hire offenders, offenders must be able to answer typical questions posed by interviewers. Mother-child programs and workforce development professionals can prepare them to be interviewed. They will need a driver's license or other basic identification, proper grooming and attire, and a demeanor that meets the standards of the employer. A resume is needed to submit with job applications and help in resume writing is often a component of mother-child projects. Prospective job applicants should know how to answer basic interview questions and should be ready to provide any additional information necessary for employment. Women under criminal justice supervision encounter many difficulties in finding jobs, particularly if they do not have a GED or marketable job skills. The best jobs are those that the offender is likely to retain because they match offender skills and interests. Offenders have special needs in handling job interviews where they must tell the truth about their criminal record. They may also need assistance in telling prospective employers about what the crime was, its circumstances and what they have done since then to be rehabilitated. Substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment and volunteer work or restitution efforts are also something that women need assistance with discussing openly in their interviews. Public and Educational Employment and Vocational Resources Employment of women in mother-child programs is assisted by local employment agencies who are funded by the U.S. Department of Labor through its Employment and Training Administration. Usually, mother-child administrators are able to negotiate services for the clients that target their needs. There is an absence of skilled professionals in the workforce development area who are trained in both correctional and employment fields. The National Institute of Corrections, Office of Job Training and Placement has been authorized by Congress to help develop correctional training for professionals. Additionally, the Office of Justice Programs, Corrections Program Office has administered a re-entry grant program to selected jurisdictions that involve offender employment and training partnerships. Such partnerships include correctional programs, employment offices and substance abuse, mental health and other partnerships. The following are public and private resources that are of potential assistance. ---------------------------- Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Justice Programs--$, TA, awards funding for offender job training and placement through the Byrne Grants, discretionary and other sources.

One-stop centers are described in this chapter under the topic "Accessing Services Via Phone or Internet." They provide services under workforce investment boards in local communities. Mother-child program planners obtain help from their state and local workforce development professionals. The following list of Workforce Development Services has been supplied by the Department of Labor to describe assistance activities for unemployed offenders. * Eligibility determination for participants in programs such as vocational education and rehabilitation, basic adult education, programs for persons with disabilities and veterans, etc. * Development, screening, and client orientation to the services available through the one-stop delivery system. * Interviewing and profiling offender skill levels, abilities, and needs for supportive services; * Assisting in the offender's employment search and placement assistance, and providing career counseling. * Accessing employment statistics information, which includes detailed information as to local, regional and nationwide labor topics. * Accessing performance information and cost information on training service providers. * Contact information and referral concerning local child care and transportation. * Assistance in establishing eligibility for 1. welfare-to-work activities (this includes the Non-Custodial Parent Program); 2. other local programs of financial aid assistance for training and education programs; 3. workplace counseling and follow-up services for at least a year for participants in workforce investment activities who are placed in unsubsidized employment. Offenders may be eligible for intensive services such as comprehensive and specialized assessments of their skill levels and service needs. Diagnostic testing and use of other assessment tools are available. The offender can access in-depth interviewing and evaluation to identify employment barriers. Offenders can gain help in developing an individual employment plan to identify their employment goals. Such plans focus on appropriate achievement objectives and an appropriate combination of services for the participant to achieve the employment goals. Offenders can access individual counseling through a "Job Club." Offender services can also include case management for those in training services and short-term pre-vocational services. Location of Workforce Development Offices Training services can be provided to adults who have met the eligibility requirements for intensive services and who are unable to obtain or retain employment through such services.

Health and Human Services References This chapter provides program developers and practitioners in the mother-child field with an overview of the core agencies and services available for programs at the national level. State human service and mental health agencies and city and county agencies should also be considered as partners in developing programs that serve clients with a range of services. Private foundations, corporate donors, non-profit and for-profit agencies offer resources in certain areas. Selected contacts are provided to give an idea of the range and diversity of what is available. Government Sources: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Mother-child community corrections programs often receive assistance from health and human services agencies at the local, state and federal levels of governments. The processes for receiving funding from human service agencies are different from justice agencies. They tend to reflect the preventative and treatment oriented mission of health and human service providers. This focus is often different from the community safety and justice orientation of correctional agencies and in order for programs to receive multiple sources of funding, they must meet different standards and requirements. Program planners indicate that they find this difficult at the beginning, because it poses management, training and operational challenges to the program. However, once these hurdles are met, most program planners find it beneficial to work with both human service and correctional systems. This course of management opens new doors to problem solving, support and innovation for helping female offenders and their children. U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services--$, TA, Re is the parent agency of the branches listed below. The main web site highlights funding opportunities and provides an overview of the agency.

Housing Assistance Women who are offenders are often in need of assistance in securing safe and affordable housing. The housing stock available for their families is often dilapidated, in transitional neighborhoods or areas distant from employers, schools and social service providers. Studies of female offenders under community supervision show that most of them have changed addresses frequently and many are currently searching for housing. This factor can be pivotal in whether they are able to get and retain employment, keep their children in schools, comply with court-ordered drug treatment or mental health services. About Housing for Female Offenders Mother-child community corrections programs often provide residential care because safe and secure housing is a priority for stabilizing families. Whether or not the program is residential, housing is still a major concern. Offenders and their families are often homeless and reside in homeless shelters. Public housing in many areas evicts offenders who have committed drug-related offenses. In other areas special programs allow rehabilitated offenders to obtain housing. About Federal Resources The lead agency at the federal level is the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The information below describes several branches in the Department that play an important role in securing housing for female offenders and their children. This role is through various funding streams for housing assistance, development and renovation that flow to states and localities. Because of the multiple levels of governmental involvement in these various funding programs, resources should be explored at all levels of government-- federal, state and local. Local or regional funding authorities must be contacted and informed of the need for available housing for this population. They can best advise on existing housing prospects, opportunities for new housing development and coordination with existing programs. Additionally, the Department of Agriculture offers housing assistance that focuses on rural areas and tribal communities but also includes some subsidized housing opportunities that are similar to HUD programs. The following contacts will help providers become more familiar with the array of services available through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. All grants are made available through a process called Super NOFA. This is a standardized single notification of all of HUD's competitive programs that is designed to assist states, localities, and organizational applicants in comprehensive and coordinated approaches. From the HUD website you can find out how to apply for grants, technical assistance, vouchers and find assistance with housing in your local community. The following are some of the lists of things that are available through the HUD website. o Access to local housing counseling agencies. o Information about obtaining HUD housing or HUD financed housing. o Search for HUD financed apartments. o Information about HUD condominiums. o Consumer fraud and waste enforcement. o Regulations and access to public housing. o Check income limits for rental assistance. o Information about fha loans. o Documents and applications for HUD assistance. o Local fair market value of housing rentals in your community. ---------------------------- U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development--$, TA, Re provides assistance to states, localities, and private agencies focusing on housing, homeless needs, economic development, and assistance for welfare to work.

Finding and developing housing for offenders and their families is one of the most difficult aspects of mother-child programs irrespective of type of program delivering services. The exclusion of many drug offenders from Section 8 housing in many areas has made it difficult to place women who were convicted on a drug offense. A number of groups have worked on this issue and it has been addressed by the Legal Action Center (see below for contact information). What does the research recommend about siting residential programs? The siting of housing for women offenders in the community often depends on the support of local housing agencies, zoning laws, and the availability of private development support. The research indicates that program developers must consider a variety of issues such as supplying accurate information, stating what the impact and benefits will be on the neighborhood, offering incentives to neighbors and getting key political and business leader support. Many more recommendations have been made, but there is no one way to locate programs without some community opposition. One good place to start is to read Siting Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs: Legal Challenges to the NIMBY Syndrome, E.M. Weber, R. Cowie, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, Substance Abuse and mental Health Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and human Services, 1995. NBCH 161599. Another helpful piece is The NIMBY Phenomenon: Community Residents' Concerns about Housing for Deinstitutionalized People, M. Piat, Health and Social Work, May, 2000 v.25 p.127 provides insight into community opposition to group homes and deinstitutionalized as well as a list of earlier articles on the subject. A selection of recent publications on the subject of siting is cited in the accompanying reference list. What organizational resources are available? There are few organizations in the correctional field that provide assistance with siting new correctional programs. The Center for Community Corrections can be contacted concerning information sources, procedures and siting questions at 202-778-0770. Additionally, there are a number of humanitarian housing organizations and advocacy groups that work with community corrections providers and ex-offenders to develop affordable housing. Such groups also work on challenging restrictive zoning practices that discriminate against families of offenders or the homeless. Many of the following groups have provided research, advocacy and technical assistance in the housing area and have addressed NIMBY through advocacy. Some have worked steadily to develop new housing for families and are particularly concerned about the safe placement of female offenders and their children. ---------------------------- Habitat for Humanity International is a volunteer organization that builds homes for disadvantaged families right alongside the future residents.

Justice and Legal System Sources Thinking about Justice System Resources This chapter provides an overview of how federal, state and local justice systems contribute to programs that supervise mothers in the correctional system and assist their young children. Mother and child community corrections programs have traditionally looked to Departments of Corrections, Probation and Parole for start-up funding and technical assistance. In the states with community corrections legislation, such programs have been funded with blended federal, state and local justice system resources. Assistance for children has traditionally come from delinquency prevention funding in the justice field but it has also come from social services, education and health disciplines outside of the criminal justice system. If these funding streams and technical assistance resources are coordinated, they can provide a range of services that make comprehensive, targeted programs possible. There are a wide variety of federal programs that assist mother-child community corrections. However, in most cases mother-child programs have to compete with many other needed programs. Correctional programs fund the adult offender portion and juvenile prevention or other social services fund the children's portion. A few states, such as California and North Carolina, have provided assistance with funding through state legislation. Also, statewide Community Corrections Act legislation provides state help in about 26 states. A list of state statutes is provided by the Center for Community Corrections. U.S. Department of Justice Resources The following table lists some of the Department of Justice offices and branches that fund criminal justice projects. There are several potential sources such as the Drug Courts Program and the Bureau of Justice Assistance. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention provides funding for discretionary and block grant programs for youth as does Weed and Seed. The National Institute of Corrections has a small discretionary fund to assist correctional programs that serve children of offenders. ---------------------------- The Office of the Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice supervises the activities of the various branches of the Department of Justice listed below.

Policy, Research, and Evaluation About Research and Policy Sources This part focuses on: 1) applying the research from related fields to program design, 2) developing program evaluations and 3) using research and evaluation to inform policies related to mother-child programs. Chapter Ten highlights sources of information about research methods and findings, evaluation methods and the relationship of research to policies. Why do MCCC planners apply research in developing a program? Most federal and foundation grant applications expect applicants for funding to show that they have researched a subject and that they will apply the research of a particular discipline in a way that is likely to increase program success. When program planners apply for funding or evaluate existing programs, they turn to sources of information and technical assistance that refer to research, policy development and evaluation methodologies. Research information helps to define the scope of the problems to be addressed, the soundness of the proposed program and the organization's ability to respond to these challenges. Research findings can point out the need for both comprehensive and specialized services. Research can help set priorities for service delivery and facilitate meeting public safety requirements. Grant reviewers will seldom fund projects that are inconsistent with proven methods and a body of research concerning effective correctional programs and child development and welfare. Why are program evaluation design methods critical to MCCC program development? In order for program planners to know whether their programs are effective, they consider applied research and feedback from an ongoing evaluation. Program planners must design programs from the beginning with evaluation components that give them the management tools to improve programs and measure their effectiveness. In order to do this they should use the assistance of federal agencies, and the skills of an experienced evaluator. Most colleges and Universities have evaluators who are willing to assist in evaluation of such programs. In addition to evaluation design issues there is an obstacle to financing an evaluation component. When potential funders review a grant application, they look for an evaluation plan that will yield findings showing program outcomes, and demonstrated measures of success. Without such measures, they may be reluctant to take a risk and fund the project. Why should research and evaluation information be available to inform policies related to MCCC supervision and family issues? Policymakers indicate a desire to obtain better quality research and evaluation data in order to make program choices that are informed by data and sound policies. However, applying research to programs involves a number of choices about balancing the interests of the community, the best interests of children, and the needs of female offender clients. Such applications are difficult to make and can be controversial. Although there are numerous programs that serve both offender mothers and their offspring, there is a paucity of data on mother- child programs. This is due to a lack of resources committed for research and evaluation. Most programs concentrate on delivering services. Additionally, the small size of individual programs hampers quantitative analysis. Few programs have computerized management information systems needed to collect data and measure outcomes. The application of research into practice is shaped by the professional disciplines that are involved in administering programs. For example, if the program is administered by a Department of Corrections, it is likely to place a high priority on security and offender accountability, and data collection and program evaluations will focus on correctional measures. On the other hand, if a program is administered by a probation or parole agency, it may emphasize meeting requirements of the court for program participation. If the lead agency is a substance abuse or mental health provider, then those disciplines may predominate. Most of these administrative agencies will collect child specific information but they are not child-focused in their evaluations and outcomes. The research that has guided mother-child programs in the past was based on large studies of predominantly male offenders. As a result, a number of researchers have questioned the validity of generalizing such findings to female offender populations. There has been a growing effort to develop gender specific research to document what works for female populations. Where research, policy and evaluation information exists in the mother-child field, such information is based on a relatively small number of studies. Typically, the evidence from a number of sectors is analyzed to provide program administrators with evidenced based principles. Such principles can then be applied to correctional practices and human services. For example, from the fields of child development and parent education, it is recognized that parent involvement in the life of the child and positive parenting strengthen ties and enhance child development. From the fields of education and psychology, there is information about the importance of educational attainment for both the mother and the child. In the area of criminal justice, research about female offender characteristics and needs contribute to an understanding of factors associated with high risk behaviors. In the behavioral and health services areas, research guides treatment of diseases, mental health and chemical dependency problems. In the fields of employment and housing, research guides how practitioners address the needs of homeless and unemployed female offenders and their children. Government and Educational Research and Evaluation Sources Governmental and educational research sources for mother-child programs are multi-disciplinary. Each major federal agency that serves some component of mother-child interests has a research branch. Additionally, there are quasi- governmental research institutes and educational centers that serve as resources for the multidisciplinary mother-child programs. The following agencies and educational contacts provide places to explore existing research. Some provide funding for research or conduct research, or provide technical assistance and information about research applications. ---------------------------- Bureau of Justice Statistics, Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice--Re gathers data, analyzes and publishes information about female offenders and their children.

Foundation Resources General information about Foundation and Corporate Donors The Foundation Center clearinghouse with five libraries and many cooperating collections around the country provides a great amount of information on private foundations at nominal cost through its databases, custom search and catalogues. The Foundation Center is dedicated to improving public access and information about philanthropic organizations. Among its publications are: 1. The Foundation Directory, 2. Grant Guides, 3. The Foundation Grants Index Quarterly, 4. the Foundations Center's Guide to Grantseeking on the Web, 5. National Guide to Funding for Children, Youth and Families, 6. the National Directory of Corporate Giving and Corporate Foundation Profiles.

Private funding resources include a wide variety of groups. They range from public interest groups to voluntary associations, professional organizations, foundations, corporations, faith-based and volunteer organizations. In many areas, locally based private foundations and civic groups are traditionally the strongest supporters for those mother-child programs that have existed more than 5 years. The locally based resources are very specialized and it is best to check the many newsletters and publications that focus on private donors and charities. The following list includes several good starting points for private sources. o Nonprofit Resource Catalog http://www.clark.net/pub/pwalker/home.html This website devotes itself to helping non-profit organizations by providing a list of sites of interest to nonprofit organizations. o Resource Publications 101 Ways to Raise Resources, by Sue Vineyard and Steve McCurley Points of Light Foundation Volunteer Marketplace Fulfillment Center 4280 Henniger Court Chantilly, VA 22020 800-272-8306 This book is a basic list of tips on how to obtain resources and funding sources.

What types of general publications are available to locate corporate funding? Employers and corporations within a mother-child program's own community are among the best sources of potential corporate donations. Many companies like Target, K-Mart and others have corporate giving programs and assist in the localities where they have sites. Some have related foundations that emphasize certain priorities and geographic areas.
