RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing (dba Hope Solutions), in an amount not to exceed $281,576, to provide intensive case management, clinical, and academic support services to families who are formerly homeless, at risk to become homeless, and living in poverty under the Family Preservation component of the Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) Program for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will increase department expenditures by $140,788 in Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and $140,788 in Fiscal Year 2023-2024 to be funded by 100% Federal Funds (CFDA 93.556), all of which is budgeted in FY22-23 and will be included in the FY23-24 department budget.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Interfaith Transitional Housing, dba Hope Solutions (Contractor) was selected to deliver services under the federal Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) Program in Contra Costa County through the competitive bid process Request For Proposal (RFP) #1182. PSSF is a federal program under Title IV-B, Subpart 2 of the Social Security Act for states to operate coordinated child and family services including (1) family preservation services, (2) community-based family support services, (3) family reunification services, and (4) adoption promotion and support services to prevent child maltreatment among at-risk families, assure safety and stability of maltreated children, and support adoptive families.

Contractor was selected to provide evidence–based mental health, case management, parenting education, early intervention, afterschool programming, and other youth enrichment services to families who are formerly homeless, at risk to become homeless, and living in poverty. Contractor will embed these supportive programs within affordable housing sites located in Concord (Lakeside Apartments), Pleasant Hill (Garden Park Apartments), Pittsburg (Los Medanos Village), and Bay Point (Bella Monte Apartments) and offer to residents to promote healing, self-sufficiency and resilience as part of the Family Preservation component of PSSF.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

At-risk youth and families will have less access to community-based prevention support services.

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 promoting sustainable and successful family reunification to build and support strong family relationships.
