Center staff provide on-going technical assistance for Olympia Community Court, which includes regular phone calls (approximately 1-2 times/month), regular email communication, supplying planning guides and other resources, and connecting local stakeholders to subject matter experts. Over the course of the grant, the Center will assist the site to engage a community court steering committee; conduct a community needs assessment; develop policies and procedures; implement a risk-needs tool; launch the project; and collect and review performance data. In this reporting period, Center staff supported the Olympia team as they organized a very successful Resource Fair that included vaccines and very high provider turnout. Center staff also helped navigate choosing a circle training providers as they build out their new Community Peace Circle Program
Also, Center staff curated examples of cooperative agreements/MOUs as they work to contract with a Tiny House builder to establish a supportive housing community for individuals in need and helped them reimagine their data tracking process in a way that will make future analysis easier and more accurate. Center staff connected the Olympia team with the North Lawndale Community Court in Chicago to get advice from a peer about establishing their peacemaking program.
