RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Wayfinder Family Services, to decrease the payment limit by $50,000 to a new payment limit of $381,051 to provide Kinship Support Services, with no change to the term.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Contract decrease results from the 2020-2021 budget reductions and will decrease department expenditures by $50,000 for a total department expenditure of $381,051. The Contract is funded by 100% State Realignment.
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. The Wayfinder Family Services (Contractor) contract is funded by 2011 State Realignment funds and provides kinship support services in East Contra Costa County to relative caregivers and the dependent children placed in their homes by the juvenile court as well as for those who are at risk of dependency or delinquency.
