The Crime and Justice Institute (CJI) has partnered with county experts, community-based providers, and system impacted youth and families to develop and implement a community resource inventory of programs, organizations, and services. This digital, publicly available community-based inventory will prioritize resources for youth and their families located within Oakland County, Michigan. Using a data-driven, capacity-building process Oakland County will thoroughly assess the availability of resources to enhance youth-serving practices and increase support for youth and their families.
“Oakland County offers outstanding services and resources for juveniles in the county, but we know that navigating these networks can be challenging,” said Oakland County Executive David Coulter. “This directory will provide a clear and concise inventory of our services in one easily accessible spot. It will be available for the general public as well as agencies and juvenile justice professionals.”
