RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute an amendment and extension to the Contract with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc., a non-profit corporation, effective June 1, 2018, to increase the payment limit by $41,761 to a new payment limit of $128,153 and to extend the term from June 30, 2018 to a new term ending December 31, 2018 to provide ongoing mental health case management, academic support, and life and parenting skills training for homeless and vulnerable families for the period of July 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment contract will increase expenditures by $41,761 to a new total of $128,153 funded 100% by Federal Promoting Safe and Stable Families Program funds (CFDA#: 93.556).

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc. is one of several agencies selected as a result of competitive bidding process for Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) funding. The primary goals of the PSSF Program are to prevent the unnecessary separation of children from their families, improve the quality of care and services to children and their families, and ensure permanency for children by reuniting them with their parents, by adoption, or by another permanent arrangement. PSSF funding is used to support services to strengthen parental relationships and may be used to remove barriers which impede the process of adoption when children cannot be safely reunited with their families and to address the unique issues adoptive families and children may face.

This extension ensures Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, Inc. provides the following ongoing services while a Request For Proposal (RFP) can be processed: mental health case management, academic support, and life and parenting skills training for homeless and vulnerable families.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

County homeless and vulnerable families will not have access to no-cost mental health case management, academic support, and life and parenting skills 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 services to assist homeless and vulnerable families.
