RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to issue Request for Proposal #1147 in an amount not to exceed $1,600,000, for the Differential Response Program, Path 2 Case Management services for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$1,600,000: 100% State

BACKGROUND:

The Differential Response Program, Path 2 Case Management provides early intervention in the lives of families who have had a report of abuse or neglect. The Differential Response Program will work with community-based and/or faith-based organizations to provide case management and home visiting services to high risk families to address the issues that brought the family to the attention of Children and Family Services. The goal is to provide services to impact the family's ability to safely care for their children and avoid the further need for interaction with and further investigation by Children and Family Services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board of Supervisors authorization, the open bid process would not continue, resulting in the lack of funding released to the community.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Contracts resulting from this Request for Proposals will support 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 community based services to families to deter continued Children and Family Services intervention.
