RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Uplift Family Services, a non-profit corporation in an amount not to exceed $254,454 to provide Child Welfare Redesign Differential Response Path 2 Case Management services in East and Central Contra Costa County for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 20, 2018. (100% State)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$254,454.00: 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:

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 community-based services to families to deter continued Children and Family Services intervention.
