RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with YMCA of the East Bay-West Contra Costa Branch, to increase the payment limit by $11,800 to a new payment limit of $396,678 to continue providing Supporting Father Involvement Program services, for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$396,678: 100% State Funding

BACKGROUND:

The YMCA of the East Bay – West Contra Costa Branch operates the Supporting Father Involvement (SFI) Project. This project seeks to improve mother-father relationships for low-income parents with school aged children by providing them with structured, 32 hour group sessions facilitated by clinicians. The project will be evaluated by researchers from U.C. Berkeley, Yale University and Smith College and is funded by the California Department of Social Services. SFI staff will collaborate with the North Richmond Service Integration Team (SIT) and will be based in the Family Service Center.

This amendment provides additional funding to provide Supporting Father Involvement Program services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports 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.” This is accomplished through maintaining family stability and fostering child well being.
