RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with California State University Fresno Foundation, a Non-Profit Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $750,000 ($250,000 annually for three years), including modified indemnification language, to provide Title IV-E training for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The interagency agreement is funded with $562,500 (75%) Federal IV-E funds; $131,250 (17.5%) State funds; and $56,250 (7.5%) County funds. [CFDA #93.658]

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not be in compliance with Child Welfare program mandates and initiatives.

BACKGROUND:

Foster Care Title IV-E provides funds to assist with the cost of foster care maintenance for eligible children; administrative costs to manage the program; and training for public agency staff, foster parents, and certain private agency staff. The Employment and Human Services Department is contracting with the California State University Fresno Foundation, a Non-Profit Corporation, to provide staff training. This program will enhance professional skills and knowledge; increase cultural awareness and responsiveness of staff; increase staff’s knowledge on the application of new laws and regulations in child welfare.

This project supports Contra Costa County and Children and Family Services (CFS) program mandates and initiatives and meets the needs required to implement these 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" by providing training to CFS staff to support these outcomes.
