RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Jewish Family and Community Services East Bay to extend the termination date from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024, with no change to the payment limit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No change to the Contract Payment limit of $979,800.

BACKGROUND:

On February 22, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved a contract with Jewish Family and Community Services (JFCS) East Bay for Refugee Resettlement Services. The Project meets the following goal identified by the MXCAB: Welcoming and Safe Community (Goal #5). As such, these funds, are recommended for allocation directly to Jewish Family and Community Services (JFCS) East Bay due to the County's existing relationship with the organization.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

JFCS East Bay provides up to $5,000 in supports per participant receiving services. To date, JFCS has served 18 clients. The need for services has been lowered than expected, therefore the contract is being extended.

The extended term of the Contract is from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024. Previous agreement for this service with the Agency was authorized by the Board of Supervisors on October 4, 2022 (C.49) for FY 2022-23.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Contra Costa County will not be able to adequately support newly arriving refugee families as intended by Measure X.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This contract supports three of the five community outcomes established in the Children’s Report Card: (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.
