RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to issue Request for Proposal (RFP) #1152 in an amount not to exceed $317,125 for Comprehensive Domestic Violence Services to California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs)/Welfare-to-Work (WTW) clients for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. (100% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$317,125: CalWORKs single allocation (100% Federal)

BACKGROUND:

The Request for Proposal will solicit competitive proposals for delivery of Comprehensive Domestic Violence and Support Services to California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs)/Welfare-to-Work (WTW) Clients. Employment and Human Services Department provides countywide Comprehensive Domestic Violence and Support Services as an integral part of the CalWORKs WTW Program. Domestic violence services are designed to identify CalWORKs/WTW recipients and applicants who are past or present victims of domestic violence, provide assistance to address the effects of domestic violence in the family with the final goal of obtaining employment and becoming self-sufficient.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Request for Proposal (RFP) supports three of the five community outcomes established in the Children’s Report Card: 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 assistance to clients to address the effects of domestic violence in the family with the final goal of obtaining employment and becoming self-sufficient.
