YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 9.
For Meeting of: December 8, 2020
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing an agreement with People for People to
provide assessment and case management services for the City of
Yakima Community Diversion Program through December 2021
SUBMITTED BY: Cynthia I. Martinez, Senior Assistant City Attorney
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Fully implemented in 2016, the Community Diversion Program utilizes a collaborative, problem
solving approach to crime designed to address recurring low level crime that is of concern to the
community. Through partnerships with government, community and treatment organizations, the
Community Diversion Program endeavors to hold defendants accountable, address factors
impacting defendants' criminal behavior, improve the quality of life in the neighborhood, address
victim needs and increase public confidence in the local criminal justice system. Community
Diversion is part of a growing movement to address the root cause of so called quality of life
crimes that are committed by chronic offenders.
The Community Diversion Program is a Legal Department initiative administered by the
Prosecution Division. Most participants have suffered childhood trauma and have substance
abuse issues. A review of past participants indicates a decrease in crime recidivism regardless
of program completion. To date, 30 individuals have successfully completed and graduated from
the Community Diversion Program. Of the 30, three have new convictions; 75% of graduates
remain crime free. One of our graduates was admitted to college this past year.
We had a record number of participants right before the COVI D shut down caused the program
to move to a virtual format. The virtual format was not as effective and many of those participants
failed to comply. We also did not gain new participants because of the COVI D court case
continuances. We currently have five participants and an additional four are in the process of
enrolling in the program. Face to face contact is vital to keeping participants engaged, so we
have implemented changes to make sure we can continue to meet with participants regardless of
COVI D infection rate in the community. We expect the enrollment numbers to increase as we
work through the court case backlog.
