History and Purpose of CYD Program In response to the many issues facing Texas youth, the Community Youth Development (CYD) Program was established in 1995 with funds authorized by the 74th Legislature for the purpose of reducing juvenile crime in areas of Texas with a high incidence of juvenile crime. The program is designed to be strongly community-based, with decision-making and allocation of direct service funds managed at the local level. Communities prioritize and fund specific prevention services identified as needed locally. CYD services are available in fifteen (15) targeted Texas zip codes. Zip codes 76106 and 76164 have been identified in Tarrant County to receive CYD funds. The 76106/76164 CYD program operates in partnership with Tarrant County, Community Collaborative Committee (CCC), Youth Advisory Committee (YAC), and contracted service providers. The program is funded by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), with Tarrant County serving as the fiscal agent for the local 76106/76164 CYD program. The purpose of the CYD program is to implement mentoring, leadership, educational, tutoring, recreational, health and supportive services that promote the social and economic well being of youth and their families. In order to minimize the prevalence of juvenile crime and the destruction of our youth and community, CYD must offer services which will impact our youth’s school attendance and performance, build their self-esteem, enhance their decision-making skills, and provide meaningful activities which will enable them to avoid gang, crime, and violent or delinquent activities. CYD provides services to youth ages 6 to 17, who live and/or attend school in the 76106 and 76164 zip codes area, for the explicit purpose of juvenile crime prevention. II. Purpose of Community Strength and Needs Assessment The local CYD program and its partners collectively gather input, statistical data, and hold forums in the community to stay abreast of issues and concerns facing the youth and families of the Northside (76164) and Diamond Hill (76106) neighborhood areas. These assessment efforts are useful to the local program in identifying social problems and trends, and ultimately identifying funding priorities for CYD. This assessment is specifically utilized by CYD’s Community Collaborative Committee (CCC), Youth Advisory Committee (YAC), and local fiscal agent (Tarrant County). The Review Committee, which is established by the CCC, selects the services to be funded by CYD. This committee uses the assessment and funding priorities to select services that meet identified youth needs in the zip codes. III. Scope of Assessment The assessment project was not intended to provide a complete and exhaustive description of the current needs for all the problems in the 76106 and 76164 zip codes. Nor was it the purpose of the project to document the current level or any “gap” which may exist between actual need, service, and funding currently available. Rather, the goal was to identify need areas and their priority by surveying all groups represented in the zip codes. Thus, the results are a community-based determination of need and the specific types of services desired. A. Anticipated Outcomes 1. Establishing a profile of the community 2. Identification and listing of community assets and needs 3. Identification and listing of community resources 4. Sharing of assessment service need outcomes with other community partners and providers 5. Process of matching community services with identified needs B. Assessment Components Overview There were three main components to the assessment: 3 Tarrant County 76106/76164 Community Youth Development (CYD) FY14 Community Needs Assessment 1. Gathering of data through various sources (U.S. Census Bureau, TEA, NCTCOG, TC- Juvenile Services, FWISD, Internet, etc.) to establish a demographic and social community profile for the 76106 and 76164 zip codes. 2. Surveys completed by community residents (parents and youth). These surveys determined the respondent’s role in the community, what sector of the zip code they represented, which service categories presented the most need, and what types of services they would like to have in the community to address these needs. 3. Community events attended by CCC members (including CYD Manager and service providers). During these events, information was gathered from community residents through dialog. This information included: issues facing youth in the community, service needs, community resources, and programs currently offered in the community. IV.
