RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Uplift Family Services (dba Pacific Clinics), a non-profit corporation, in an amount not to exceed $612,401, to provide family preservation and support services to families referred from existing child welfare cases and/or County Probation Department for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This will increase department expenditures by $612,401 funded by 30% County and 70% State 2011 Realignment funds, all of which has been budgeted in FY 2022-23.

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD), Children and Family Services (CFS) Bureau selected this Contractor from a competitive procurement Request for Proposal (RFP) #1169 in FY 2019-2020. Contractor will provide family preservation and support services, including ongoing case management that engage and establish a positive rapport with families who have been referred from existing child welfare cases and/or County Probation Department and who are experiencing multiple stressors impacting their ability to parent effectively and consequently are at risk of having their children placed in out-of-home care.


CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Absence of these critical services will result in an increased number of children being removed from their families and placed in foster care.

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 family support, stability, and safety of children, thereby preventing out-of-home placement.
