RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to issue Request for Proposal #1162 in an amount not to exceed $960,000 for the Contra Costa County Wraparound Services Program for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost of the contract will be covered by 60% State Realignment Funds and 40% County General Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department, Children and Family Services Bureau, Request for Proposal (RFP) #1162 is to provide Wraparound Services consistent with Senate Bill (SB) 163 with the goal of increased foster care placement stability for children, improved mental health and educational outcomes for youth, and maintain cost neutrality.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Senate Bill (SB) 163 provides for service alternatives to group home care through the development of expanded family-based service programs or "wraparound" programs for youth in Foster Care. The services are structured to build on the strengths of each child and family, and are tailored to address their unique and changing needs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

At-risk youth in highly restrictive settings will have less opportunity to transition into family-based services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The funding supports all of the community outcomes established in the Children's Outcome Report Card: 1) Children Ready for and Succeeding in School; 2) Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood; 3) Families that are Economically Self Sufficient; 4) Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing; and 5) Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families, by providing wraparound services to children and families.
