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 $182,281 to provide Child Welfare Redesign Differential Response Path 2 Case Management services for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funds allocated for this contract are 100% State, Child Welfare Services Outcome Improvement Project-Realignment Funds.

BACKGROUND:

This Contractor was selected as a result of the competitive bid process to continue implementation of the Differential Response Path 2 Case Management Program, which provides early intervention in the lives of families who have had a report of abuse or neglect. The Differential Response Program works with community-based and/or faith-based organizations to provide case management and home visiting services to high risk families to address the issues that brought the family to the attention of Children and Family Services (CFS). Selected contractors provide services to impact the family's ability to safely care for their children and avoid the further need for interaction with and further investigation by CFS.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Employment and Human Services will be unable to provide valuable services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports all 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," by providing community-based services to families to deter continued Children and Family Services intervention.
