BACKGROUND:

On January 6, 2015, the Board of Supervisors referred oversight and receipt of updates on the Employment and Human Services Department's (EHSD) Innovative Community Partnerships to the Family and Human Services Committee (FHS). On June 7, 2016, the Board approved expanding FHS Referral No. 110 "Innovative Community Partnerships" to include the subject of Whole Family Services. This change was necessary to incorporate a major EHSD initiative, which refocuses client-facing benefit eligibility to assess the status and needs of the “whole family” while are also determining benefit eligibility. Key to the new initiative is working with community partners to form a network of family resource centers in current place-based centers such as SIT (Service Integration Team) and SparkPoint sites, Family Justice Centers, First 5 centers, et al.

On October 24, 2022, the Family and Human Services Committee received the most recent annual report on Innovative Community Partnerships and directed staff to forward the report to the Board of Supervisors for its information.
