RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Oakland (dba Catholic Charities of East Bay), to decrease the payment limit by $68,000 to a new payment limit of $270,000 to provide Child Welfare Redesign Differential Response Path 2 Case Management services in East Contra Costa County, with no change to the term.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This will decrease department expenditures by $68,000 for a total department expenditure of $270,000. The contract is funded with 100% State Child Welfare Services Outcome Improvement Project-Realignment funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The EHSD budget will not reflect the decreased budget/contract value.

BACKGROUND:

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the California State 2011 Realignment budget and County Department budget decreased significantly which required EHSD Children and Family Services Bureau to seek reductions in contracts where the corresponding funding is being utilized. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Oakland (dba Catholic Charities of East Bay) (Contractor) contract is funded by 2011 State Realignment funds and provides Differential Response Path 2 Case Management services in Central Contra Costa County.

The reduction in budget represents reduced services and personnel that the Contractor is targeted to perform during the Fiscal Year while still ensuring needed supportive services are being provided through the Differential Response Program in East Contra Costa County.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports all five 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" by providing training to CFS staff to support these outcomes.
