RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Contra Costa Youth Service Bureau, a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $312,735, to provide Child Welfare Redesign Differential Response Path 2 Case Management services in West Contra Costa County for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase expenditures by $312,735 funded 100% by State 2011 Realignment funds all of which is already budgeted in FY 22/23.

BACKGROUND:

This Contractor was selected as a result of a 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 families to the attention of Children and Family Services (CFS). Selected contractors provide services to impact the families' ability to safely care for their children and avoid the further need for interaction with and further investigation by CFS.

This is the second year renewal of the contract. The first contract was authorized by the Board of Supervisors at their June 22, 2021 meeting as item C. 80.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Employment and Human Services will be unable to provide early intervention services in the lives of families who have had a report of abuse or neglect.

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.
