RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Uplift Family Services, to decrease the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of $439,167 to provide Kinship Support Services to relative caregivers of relative’s children, with no change to the term.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Contract decrease results from the 2020-2021 budget reductions and will decrease department expenditures by $100,000 for a total department expenditure of $439,167. The contract is funded with 100% State Realignment funds.

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 Uplift Family Services (Contractor) contract is funded by 2011 State Realignment funds and provides kinship support services in Central and West 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.

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 Kinship Services Program in Central and West Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

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.
