RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with STAND! For Families Free of Violence, a Non-Profit Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $170,981 to provide Phase III Lethality Assessment Program Implementation for Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention for the period January 1, 2017 through November 30, 2017. (100% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$170,981: 100% Federal Department of Justice Grant (CFDA #16.590). No County costs.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse (CCAEA), formally known as Zero Tolerance for Domestic Violence Initiative (ZTDVI), applied for and received funds from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence against Women (OVW), Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration (“Project”) in 2013. The Project will be implemented in two phases – an assessment phase (“Phase I”) and an implementation phase (“Phase II”). OVW completed Phase I in September 2014 and selected CCAEA as one of four sites to participate in Phase II of the Project and implement the Lethality Assessment Program (LAP), a recognized promising practice. CCAEA is engaging the Contractor to assist in carrying out activities consistent with the funding application. In 2016, OVW renewed funding in order for CCAEA to continue implementation for the LAP model (“Phase III”).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Valuable services will not be provided.
