RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, in an amount not to exceed $154,909, to provide services for the Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Project, for the period January 1, 2018 through September 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by a Federal Department of Justice grant with no County match requirement.

CFDA #16.590

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse (Alliance), formerly Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative, applied for and received funds from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women, Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Project. The Alliance is engaging the Contractor to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application.

The primary purpose of the Alliance, Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Project is to develop and strengthen effective responses to reducing violence against women.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The availability of services to assist in the prevention of violence against women in Contra Costa County will be hindered.
