RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the annual report from the Employment and Human Services Department on departmental challenges, which this year focused on the foster care Continuum of Care Reform implementation efforts.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Challenges to Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) - Continuum of Care Reform was originally referred to the Family and Human Services Committee (F&HS) on April 25, 2000. Another referral to F&HS, number 19, on Welfare Reform was referred on January 21, 1997. On January 1, 2005, the Board of Supervisors combined these two referrals so that the Department could provide updates on various aspects of their programs as the need arose. Since that time, the Employment and Human Services Department has reported annually on a variety of issues impacting the Department.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On September 25, 2017, the Family and Human Service Committee accepted a report (attached) from the Employment and Human Services Department on foster care Continuum of Care Reform and approved forwarding the report to the Board.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Board will not receive an update on Challenges for EHSD - Continuum of Care Reform.
