I'm pleased to share The Sentencing Project's new report, The Real Cost of ‘Bad News’: How Misinformation is Undermining Youth Justice Policy in Baltimore, revealing how media reporting on youth crime is misleading city residents and fueling poor public policy. https://lnkd.in/eR88rXug This report is a case study for what is happening throughout the nation: misstatements about youth offending -- often without any evidence -- fueling regressive policymaking that ignores the evidence about what helps children and adolescents succeed. We have, in our appendix, a roadmap for undertaking a similar effort in any community. This work was quite challenging, and we're happy to share our recipe.

“In our conversations with young people in Baltimore, many shared that they crave entrepreneurship and resources to build businesses free from discrimination and that benefit their communities. The findings from Coppin State’s study will not only help us better understand Baltimore’s complex landscape of instructional entrepreneurship programs, but also how programs and the ecosystem can be improved to better serve young entrepreneurs.” – Sara Cooper, GCDF, a senior associate at the Foundation

Providing safe and affordable housing can be achieved at the state and local levels of government. This blog post highlights the housing advocates who work to ensure that our elected officials are adopting policies and allocating public funds to keep all residents safely housed. https://lnkd.in/exQ3HV-u

A major shift in Medicaid policy for Justice involved youth and young adults is around the corner, and there is a great deal that folks in justice, health, behavioral health, and child welfare need to do in order to meet the needs of our young folks and their families. But this is much more than a compliance exercise. This is also an opportunity to undue a serious injustice. In almost every state, we over-rely on the juvenile justice system to serve as our physical and, moreover, behavioral/mental healthcare system for youth and young adults. We ask young people and their families to exchange their liberty for access to healthcare. Use this opportunity to start to untangle this web, rightsize and reorient our healthcare system to meet the needs of young folks, and let our young people simply have their healthcare needs met as they emerge without first awaiting justice system involvement. And if young people do touch the justice system, let's use these tools to build their healthcare supports OUTSIDE of the system while accessible from INSIDE the system - this way young people can receive the care they deserve while in AND after they exit the justice system without requiring a disruption in care as they transition back to community. We have work to do. If you're not sure how, let's talk.

Yesterday’s Maryland Business Summit brought together leaders to discuss ways to invest in young workers and create pathways to economic success. Hosted with the Maryland Governor's Workforce Development Board, the event highlighted successful youth employment initiatives and opportunities to help young people thrive in the job market. Young people bring skills, talent and drive, and employers can provide opportunities for them to grow and strengthen the workforce and economy. As President & CEO Lisa Hamilton said, “The strength of our state and our country largely depends on how well we prepare our youth for employment success.”

This was the first year of Summer EBT, a new federal food assistance program providing $120 per school-aged child to help cover grocery costs while school meals were unavailable. While nearly 21 million children qualify, early signs suggest many families may not have been able to access the benefits.
