[CFDA#: 93.556]

BACKGROUND:

Ambrose Recreation and Parks District (Ambrose) was selected through a competitive bid process (Request For Proposals 1135) by the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Children and Family Services Bureau (CFS). The department sought a community-based and/or faith-based organizations to provide Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) services in Contra Costa County. The purpose of PSSF services is to prevent the unnecessary separation of children from their families, improve the quality of care and services to children and their families, and to ensure permanency for children by reuniting them with their parents, by adoption, or by another permanent living arrangement. Ambrose is a public agency that serves as the fiscal agent for the Bay Point Teen Center and provides a wide array of services under the PSSF Program, including provision of organized youth leadership development, recreational activities, and case management and information referral services for pregnant and parenting teens.

This amendment and extension provides continued services while a new Request For Proposal (RFP) can be processed.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Low-income Bay Point youth between the ages of 12-18 will not have the opportunity to access services at the Bay Point Teen Center that improve schoolwork, maintain satisfactory school performance, build confidence, strengthen their connection to the community, or gain work, life, and academic experiences that prepare them for a successful transition into adulthood.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports all five community outcomes: 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, by providing resources and referrals to support self-sufficiency.
