RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Seneca Family of Agencies, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $360,000 to provide wraparound program services to youth for increased residential placement stability, for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.  
  

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase expenditures by $360,000 that will be funded 30% with County General Funds revenue and 70% with State 2011 Realignment revenue.  





BACKGROUND:

Seneca Family of Agencies was selected through the competitive bid process, Request For Proposal (RFP) 1162. The Contractor will operate a community-based intervention program that provides children with service alternatives to group home care through expanded family-based services. These wraparound services will be provided to children living with their birth parent, relative, adoptive parent, foster parent or guardian. The services build on the strengths of each child and family and are tailored to address their unique and changing needs. The contract is subject to approval by County Counsel as to legal form.  
  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

At-risk youth in restrictive group home settings will have fewer opportunities to transition into family-based services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports four of the five 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”; and (4)"Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families" by placing at risk youth into family-based or less restrictive service settings.
