RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Julia Dyckman Andrus Memorial, Inc., effective October 30, 2016, to increase the payment limit by $37,290 for a new payment limit of $170,460, and extend the term from October 31, 2016 to December 31, 2016, for additional trauma awareness training services to Youth Justice Initiative partners and EHSD California Work Opportunity and Responsibility and Welfare-to-Work staff. (58% State, 42% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$170,460.00: 58% State, 42% Federal (CFDA # 93.558, 16.738M)

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County, through its Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department (County, Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative (ZTDVI)), was awarded a three-year Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) in order to implement the Youth Justice initiative (YJI) in Contra Costa County. County has engaged Julia Dyckman Andrus Memorial, Inc., to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application. The YJI applies innovative evidence-based practices to improve outcomes and to create a model for improved school engagement, successful prevention of juvenile justice involvement by youth, and recidivism reduction.

Contractor will provide technical assistance, on-going training, and other tools in order to implement a trauma-informed violence prevention model pilot in the Antioch Unified School District, as well as provide trauma-informed practices and tools overall to YJI partners. YJI partners include Contra Costa County Probation, Contra Costa County District Attorney, Contra Costa County Public Defender, EHSD bureaus, and community-based agencies.

This amendment provides funding and time for additional trauma awareness training services to YJI partners, EHSD California Work Opportunity and Responsibility and Welfare-to-Work staff and supervisors.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

EHSD California Work Opportunity and Responsibility and Welfare-to-Work staff and supervisors will not be able to provide improved service delivery that results from increase trauma awareness practices.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The services provided under this contract support all five of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (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 trauma awareness training to EHSD staff as well as Youth Justice Initiative partners.
