RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance, a non-profit corporation, to increase the payment limit by $5,000 to a new payment limit of $164,000 to provide additional services for victims of interpersonal violence and their families, effective December 1, 2017, for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The amendment will increase Employment and Human Services Department expenditures by $5,000. County General Funds will cover 95% of the expenditure and 5% will be covered by Other Department Sources/Certified Copies of Public Records.

BACKGROUND:

This contract is to ensure delivery of effective services for victims of interpersonal violence (domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and maltreatment, elder abuse, and human trafficking) through a coordinated, client-centered, multidisciplinary service model. Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance (CCFJA) provides support and assistance to increase the safety and empowerment of families in Contra Costa County experiencing interpersonal violence and to coordinate access to multiple service providers and achieve specific measured outcomes. CCFJA organizes and coordinates community family justice workshops, coordinates a multi-disciplinary team, participates in the Alliance to End Abuse collaborative for evaluation, planning, and fundraising, as well as assisting in developing aligned policies, practices, and protocols to service delivery for victims of human trafficking. This amendment increases the Contractor's research and reporting responsibilities.

The original contract, in the amount of $159,000, was approved by the Board of Supervisors at its September 12, 2017 meeting (Item C.80).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Contra Costa County Alliance to End Abuse collaborative will have less documented data with which to address interpersonal violence in Contra Costa County and to enhance coordination of services.

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 support and assistance with coordinating access to multiple service providers of crisis intervention, law enforcement, and long-term wellness programs.
