RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Lincoln, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $150,000 to provide coordinated child and family services and school-based case management for the period January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funds allocated for this contract are 100% from Federal Promoting Safe and Stable Families funding. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

Lincoln will provide coordinated child and family services and school-based case management at Park Middle School in the Antioch Unified School District. This work, under the Family Preservation component of the Federal Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) Program, will provide wellness and stress reduction services, parent support and education for parents, and case management services to students and families, with a focus on connecting youth and family members to resources that will help keep family members safe, strengthen the family bond, assist families in times of crisis or need and/or help families navigate daily needs related to housing, transportation, employment, or related services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

County clients would not have access to education, family, and well-being programs, which work to disrupt the cycle of poverty and trauma, empowering children and families to build a strong future.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports all of the community outcomes established in the Children's 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." This is accomplished through providing integrated and collaborative case management prevention and intervention services to students and their families in need.
