RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance, a non-profit corporation of California, effective April 1, 2017 to increase the payment limit by $25,431 to a new payment limit of $175,431 for additional services to victims of interpersonal violence and their families and additional training to Family Justice Center partners for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. (100% County - General Fund)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$175,431: 100% County

BACKGROUND:

This contract is to ensure delivery of effective services for victims of interpersonal violence (domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and maltreatment, elder abuse, and human trafficking) through a coordinated, client-centered, multi-disciplinary service model. Contra Costa Family Justice Alliance (CCFJA) provides support and assistance to increase the safety and empowerment of families in Contra Costa County experiencing interpersonal violence to coordinate access to multiple service providers and achieve specific measured outcomes. CCFJA organizes and coordinates community family justice workshops, coordinates a multi-disciplinary team, participates in the Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse collaborative for evaluation, planning, and fundraising as well as assisting in developing aligned policies, practices, and protocols to service delivery for victims of human trafficking.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Victims of interpersonal violence in Contra Costa County will not benefit from the additional services and improvements in services and Contra Costa Alliance to End Abuse will not have access to additional training.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The services provided under this contract support all five of Contra Costa County’s 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 support and assistance with coordinating access to multiple service providers of crisis intervention, law enforcement, and long-term wellness programs including employment readiness, job placement, educational, counseling, and health and social services.
